Revelation of the Word

THEME: DELAY

Hebrews 11:11-12 

By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore.

INSIGHT 

-Sarah was old & way past the conception age. She waited long for a child, got frustrated & gave her husband the chance to bear children with her maid servant Hagar. She lost hope because of this delay & at some point laughed as God delivered the promised of child birth to Abraham, who was also old & perceived as good as dead & her womb alike. God tested their faith reassuring them that nothing was too hard for Him. He strengthened them & promised to establish His promise at the appointed time. Abraham had strong faith which was accounted to him for righteousness & later became the father of many nations. Sometimes we wait long for answers to prayers & loose hope just like Sarah. Discouragement sets in & we start looking around comparing ourselves to others. Jesus says do not be anxious about anything but with prayer, supplications & thanksgiving make your request known to God. He also tells us not to worry; for He will be with us till the end of time. This gives us hope & encouragement that God loves us & cares for us despite our shortcomings.

PRAYER 

We believe in You Father & Your promises for our lives. Thank You for loving us & giving us hope of a better future. We have many physical, emotional, psychological & spiritual wounds, heal us Lord. We place all our trust in You,  strengthen us when we have little faith & are weary. Nothing is too hard for You Lord, hear our prayers. We glorify You & give You thanks always. Amen 

Blessed Thursday
