TRUE, REAL AND VERY POSSIBLE

Post date: Aug 27, 2014 4:00:50 AM

Mary, the mother of our Lord Jesus Christ asked the angel, can what I am hearing from you ever be possible considering who, what and how I am? That question was an expression of doubt after considering her entire life, judging her ability, and comparing her qualification to meet the words that were spoken by the angel. She thought herself to be incapable, unqualified and every word spoken to be completely contrary to her knowledge, her dreams, her visions, her aspirations and her overall ambitions for her life; but despite that expression of doubt, God found her quite qualified, capable, and fit to fulfill those words. What good thing have you heard about yourself from the scriptures? What dream had the Lord given to you? What good and true desire have you been nurturing in your heart? What vision are you working on fulfilling? You may have thought the same about yourself as Mary did; as God did not allow Mary’s thoughts to hinder His plans for her, so will He not allow yours also to hinder His plans and the things He wants to do for you.

When Moses heard the message of the Lord from the angel in the most frustrating time in his life in the burning bush that morning, all his weaknesses in life immediately came to his mind; he saw his inability in leading the children of Israel, he remembered his impediment in speaking fluently and convincingly; he saw his inability to relay the demands of God before Pharaoh and the elder of Israel; he immediately saw in his mind his first failure and subsequent rejection for attempting to relieve and defend one of them who was oppressed and maltreated, he saw how he was instantly rejected by everyone around him, he saw how Pharaoh intended to kill him, and he saw his weaknesses magnified far beyond his strength and resolved to argue his way out of the assignment by using his weaknesses to express his reasons. Moses was not able to change the mind of God by his argument, and what the angel told him came to pass and Moses became one of the greatest and very successful leaders of Israel.

My prayer for you is that your doubts should not limit your progress and success in life; your fears will not hinder you from moving forward and achieving what the Lord had destined for you; your arguments will not be a stumbling block to your knowledge and your seeing what the Lord will do next; that your low self-esteem will not close the doors against you in the things that God will bring to your life; that you will see above your everyday hindrances and take advantage of the words and promises of God upon your life; that through Christ Jesus, you will be able to act more decisively, have more than you expect, and be more successful than your thoughts and abilities would have made you.

The weaknesses you know in your life will not overcome your strength when you believe in what our Lord Jesus Christ is saying to you and what the scriptures had destined in your life by the power of the word of God. Just like Moses, Jeremiah used his youthfulness as a reason to argue and count himself out of God’s plans for his life. Sarah laughed because she considered herself too old to be what the word of God said concerning her. Everything can overcome you, but when the ever living word of God takes its rightful place in your life, everything said by God concerning you will definitely become possible and real. Hannah cried because she though God had forgotten her and will not grant her heart desire; her believes changed everything about her life and made her desire possible and real.  

Doubts of any sort about the word of God; doubts about your tomorrow, and about what is going to happen to you as a believer will never defined your future, neither will argument place you on a difficult position to live a fulfill life. The greatest reason for failure is wrong self-evaluation because of what you know, see and have been told concerning yourself. “For with God, nothing will be impossible.” Luke 1:37.
