19/11/2015 - The Wonderful Gift of Faith

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. Hebrews 11.11

Faith is present in everything we receive from the Creator. It is something simple at our eyes, but there is certainly tremendous power in it. The greatest work of the Almighty in us is salvation, by divine grace, but it is done through faith (Ephesians 2.8). Because of that wonderful gift we have the testimony that we have pleased God but, without the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1b), prayer is empty.

Faith enabled Sarah to receive the virtue to conceive at an old age. The impossible came to pass and, because of that, the Most High was glorified. If the Lord was not able to do something great in you, He would not be God. Notice that Sarah’s miracle did not happen at her youth, when she discovered she was barren. Likewise, today many are extending their suffering because they lack one thing: faith.

This gift comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10.17). Such thing will keep many from having their requests answered. Many times faith is present, but with it we shelter doubt or disbelief in our hearts and, because of that, we render it inoperative. Sarah understood she had to receive the gift of being a mother. Likewise we must receive the virtue of being healed, prospering, etc.

God is perfect and so must we be perfect.  We cannot allow any doubt coexist with faith. The enemy most likely used someone to speak to her or whispered in her mind that she would not survive labor. There are situations in which the person paid attention to the voice of the enemy and lost his or her blessing.

The truth is that our difficulties are not important when we believe. This old lady saw her body renewed and, besides giving birth to a baby, she breastfed her son until the right time when he was weaned. Isaac was perfect, a proof of the wholeness of the work of the Lord. The same is true to all the Almighty does in you or for you. Those who are blessed by Jesus are truly blessed.

The Most High is ready to give you the gift you need to be accomplished in your life. In Him there is no “maybe”, “who knows”, “it may work out”, or “or not”. All the promises in Scriptures in God are Yes (2Corinthians 1.20). He is ready now to work in your life what has been promised, but this is only possible by using the faith you have received.

Sarah received the blessings of the Lord because she was faithful to Him who had promised that she would be a mother. Isaac had to be born, Abraham and her could not give up, because that would frustrate the great plan of redemption. Pay close attention to this, because no one knows the loss God’s work will have because of a defeat of their own. 

In Christ, with love,

Most High God! In fear and trembling we come before you. You are much more than we can imagine. Your power has made the old barren woman to become a mother. Your plan to rescue humanity was possible because Sarah acted by faith.

May among my readers not be found any who will hinder Your work. May it come to pass in our lives according to all you have planned for us. May we understand the importance of giving ourselves over to You, so that we can be rewarded in the great Day. Thank you!

Sarah's pregnancy as well as all that came afterwards was perfect. May we keep our end of the process of salvation to be fully completed. Let nothing hinder this process, because we love You and we want to be used to fulfill Your plan!
