There are many things that you missed in life; there are many you have regretted missing and there are many you have not regretted; there are many you wish you should not have missed and there are many you think you will never have again and you are yet to have them despite all the efforts, prayers, faith, the dreams and the prophecies; one thing is very sure to happen to you and in your life, you will never miss God’s timing for that thing you have been trusting and believing Him for irrespective of the delays and the denials; you will never miss the date and time of your recovery irrespective of the number of demands standing to fight against you in the day and in the night; you will never miss the moment of your recovery irrespective of the frustrations and all the discouragements of failures; you will not miss the fulfillment of His spoken and revealed words for your miracle and you will never miss the manifestation of all His promises to you irrespective of what the devil had done, will do and will ever wish to do against you.

Abraham and Sarah faithfully and patiently waited on and for God for several years until both of them passed the human time and measure of having children. With a given name by God, they waited for the promise to be fulfilled; armed with a divine name they waited will all patience, counting time for themselves and for God; observing, expecting and trusting every moment as they passed by, looking for sign and aiming for the expected joy until frustration took its toll on Sarah and she gave up hope and expectations because of her physical judgment of her body and her understanding of time. But what she knew concerning herself, God knew better; despite her judging herself incapable again, God judged her still capable and on that faithful, God sent His three angels to assure her that her set time to see the manifestation of the promise for a son was at hand; though Sarah could no longer believe any word from anyone again, she was unable to stop the hands and the performance of God on her womb. She laughed because of her thoughts and not because of the word of God and the assurance from the three visiting angels. You may at this message because of your thoughts and the several failures you have experienced but your laughter will not stop the word of God for your life and that of Sarah did not stop God.

“Now the Lord appeared to Abraham by the terebinth trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day. When he raised his eyes and looked up, behold, three men were standing a little distance from him. When he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground, and Abraham said, my lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please do not pass by your servant. Please let a little water be brought by one of my servants and you may wash your feet, and recline and rest comfortably under the tree. And I will bring a piece of bread to refresh and sustain you; after that you may go on, since you have come to your servant. And they replied, do as you have said. So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, quickly, get ready three measures of fine meal, knead it bake cakes. Abraham also ran to the herd and brought a calf, tender and choice, and he gave it to the servant to butcher, and he hurried to prepare it. Then he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before the men; and he stood beside them under the tree while they ate. Then they said to him, where is Sarah your wife? And he said, there, in the tent. He said, I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son. And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in years; she was past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to herself when she heard the Lord’s words, saying, after I have become old, shall I have pleasure and delight, my husband being also old? And the Lord asked Abraham, why did Sarah laugh to herself, saying, shall I really give birth to a child when I am so old? Is anything too difficult or too wonderful for the Lord? At the appointed time, when the season for her delivery comes, I will return to you and Sarah will have a son. Then Sarah denied it, saying, I did not laugh; because she was afraid. And He said, no, but you did laugh.” Genesis 18:1-15. Click here for prayer.
