NUMBERS DON’T COUNT WITH GOD

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Hebrews 11:6

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is the re-warder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Additional Verses

📖 Genesis 21:1-7; Luke 1:5-25; Hebrews 11:1-40

God is not a respecter of people, but He respects the faith in a person. This shows how unique God is and that His Word will never pass away. When you look at great men in the Bible, they had faith in God and therefore they pleased Him. One of the great man of faith is Abraham. He had such great faith that whatever God said, he obeyed. That’s why he was given a son even though Sarah was too old to have a child. This example clearly shows that to God numbers are insignificant. Genesis 18:11 actually says, “Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age and Sarah had passed the age of child bearing.” In Genesis 21:1-7, the LORD visited Sarah when she was ninety years old just as He had promised Abraham that she would give birth to a son and she gave birth to their son whom they named Isaac. Abraham was one hundred years old when Isaac was born. Many children of God today easily give up to pressures because they have very little trust or no trust in God at all. You may be one of those who has a problem in health, your family, your marriage, your finances, your employment, or in any other area of your life. Just because you are a child of God, you must know that you are of the seed of Abraham. If then you believe that you are Abraham’s seed, don’t you think that whatever the magnitude of your problems, you must cultivate in you the virtue of patience and longsuffering just as was illustrated by our father of faith Abraham. It does not matter how long you may have suffered from that problem, all you need to do is to put all your trust in God the Father, just as what Abraham and Sarah did. The Word of God has got the solution to your every mountain of problems. This is why the LORD in Mark 11:22-23 says, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.” God is not a respecter of man or man’s position in society, but He respects man’s faith in what He has said in His Word. Hebrews 11:6 clearly says, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a re-warder of those who diligently seek Him.” The criteria that is valid when you are praying for something to God is therefore not the number of years you have been a member of your denomination or religion, or for how long you may have been asking God to respond to your request, but it is how much faith you have in what God says about your situation. You must therefore establish in yourself strong or great faith in God’s Word just as it was with Abraham and many other great personalities in the Holy Bible. Keep on praying, keep on trusting God and keep on believing what God has promised you in His Word. He is faithful to fulfill at His appointed time. Once this happens, you are certainly going to receive your miracle. Finally, may I remind you that little faith and weak faith in the Word of God will not at all reward you anything. But only strong and great faith as was illustrated by Abraham and Sarah, Joseph, Hannah, the Apostles and many great men and women of the Lord in the Holy Bible. Alleluia!

Prayer

Dear LORD Jesus Christ, thank You for the mighty Glory that You always show. LORD, even if I am alone, I know that Your presence is still with me because You do not look at numbers. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray Amen.
