LIKE SARAH, IT IS MY TIME DEAR LORD

“The Lord kept his word and did for Sarah exactly what he had promised. She became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age. This happened at just the time God had said it would. And Abraham named their son Isaac. Eight days after Isaac was born, Abraham circumcised him as God had commanded. Abraham was 100 years old when Isaac was born. And Sarah declared God has brought me laughter. All who hear about this will laugh with me. Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse a baby? Yet I have given Abraham a son in his old age.” Genesis 21:1-6. This is the Lord's declaration for those of you who feels not worthy of the promises He had given before for concerning the blessings; “This is what the Lord says: Just as I have brought all these calamities on them, so I will do all the good I have promised them. Fields will again be bought and sold in this land about which you now say, it has been ravaged by the Babylonians, a desolate land where people and animals have all disappeared Yes, fields will once again be bought and sold, deeds signed and sealed and witnessed in the land of Benjamin and here in Jerusalem, in the towns of Judah and in the hill country, in the foothills of Judah and in the Negev too. For someday I will restore prosperity to them, I, the Lord, have spoken.” Jeremiah 32:42-44 and He will definitely do as He said.

It is a fruitless effort to question the word of God and to try to ignore any of His promises. God does not need anyone to help Him when His comes He will do what He said and He will fulfill all that he had promised to all of his children. Ancestral fears will not stop them, frustrations will not deprive you of seeing what God had said; even when delays discourage them, it will not stop them when God’s time is at hand; humiliations from family friends and colleagues will not stop God from doing that which He did promise and the abundant evidence of science, technology, and medical knowledge will not hinder the word, the work and the intent of God from being in its place at the time appointed. It is evident that while Sarah was considering age and adding days to her age every day, God was considering His time and reducing days to the fulfilling of His words in her life. God is counting down the days to your manifesting His promises.

It is unfortunate that most believers and followers of Jesus Christ in most instances believes their adverse circumstances more than they believe the word of God in that same circumstance and seek to follow the dictates of the situation rather than follow the word and promises of God. It is also unfortunate that many also seem to forget the promises of God when that situation remains longer than they anticipated for it to remain. They are discouraged, frustrated and feel rejected that God had refused to answer them. Sarah did just the same, but it is evident that though the conception was delayed according to the expectation and calculation of Sarah, God did not delay it and was still willing and able to do what He said to her in His promises and He did it at the time He had destined for it to happen and Sarah saw what God had promised with her eyes, handled what God promised with her hands, and testified with joy and laughter what God had done with her mouth. The devil may have given you enough tears by now, but God will soon give you enough reasons to laugh; the devil may have given you enough reasons to regret your life and many of your action right now, but God will soon give you enough reasons to rejoice and look up with hope and assurance to your future. What He did for Sarah, He will do for you.

God’s promise to Sarah was very much intact and very possible even when Sarah had lost all hope of ever seeing them fulfilled; even when she was too old to conceive and counted herself out of contention and considering a wasted time to continue asking God and waiting on Him; even when she had given up the possibility of even trusting after many years of waiting, praying and preparing; even after her scientific calculation and physical circumstances had proven her right and the promises of God wrong. In all circumstances, our God is still right. For prayers Click here
