TOPIC: God Can Do All Things, His Promise Never Fails (Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries Wednesday, 8 August 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 17: 15-18

MEMORY VERSE: “Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” – Genesis 18:14

The MESSAGE:

It is sometimes difficult for us to believe God wholeheartedly even when God reaffirms His promises. If not that God honours His word far above His name, many of us would have completely lost the promise of God due to impatience and unbelief. 2 Timothy 2:13 says, “If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.” God is forever faithful when it comes to His promises. The only problem we have is, knowing the appointed time for the manifestation of God’s promises so that we can wait patiently for it. Abraham’s initial encounter with God was wonderful. He believed God for the promise of not just a son, which he asked for, but for a great multitude of descendants as the stars of heaven. This was credited to Abraham for righteousness. All God requires from us is to trust and obey Him and He shall do according to His promises for us. However, as the promise seemingly becomes delayed, the heart gradually becomes sick and faith weakens unknowingly. This was the case with Abraham. Despite the fact that he heard directly from God and not from any prophet, his patience got exhausted in the course of time, and he opted for man’s alternative, provided by the duo of Sarah and Hagar. Rather than wait for the promise of God, he carried out this alternative plan outside of God’s will and even prayed earnestly that God would protect his alternative to God’s perfect will. He jettisoned the real promise of God and was more interested in seeking divine protection for the alternative he got for himself. What a tragedy!

God is never slack in His promises. Habakkuk 2:3 states: “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” Is there anything you have been believing God for? Patiently wait for the appointed time, and it shall surely come. Do not let the fear of being advanced in age as a lady push you into marriage outside the will of God. Are you believing God for the fruit of the womb? Patiently wait for God’s appointed time and you shall carry your own babies. Is it breakthrough you are believing God for? Be rest assured that God shall visit you at the appointed time, and He shall satisfy you with long life and prosperity. Do not apply the Sarah’s balm. The end, therefore, may not be palatable. If Abraham had envisaged the consequences of his alternative plan, he wouldn’t have opted for Hagar as an alternative. Perseverance and God shall visit you in due season, in Jesus’ name.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
DO NOT APPLY SARAH’S BALM …THE END IS DISASTER.
