Topic : Time To Walk In The Reality Of God’s Promises.
Memory Verse: Genesis 21:7. And she added, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age.”
Bible Reading :Genesis 21:4-6 NIV. Key Verse: v6
When his son Isaac was eight days old, Abraham circumcised him, as God commanded him. Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. Sarah said, “God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.”
The birth of Isaac was a miracle. At this point in time Abraham and his wife had waited on God’s promise to a point of giving up hope. When it seemed not to be coming, Abraham wanted to give up by thinking that Eliezer his servant from Damascus will stand in as a son, but God told him that one from his own loins will be his son. When that couldn’t work out on time, he agreed with the suggestion of his wife that he enters into Hagar their maid from Egypt to have a child. “And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai Abram’s wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife.” Genesis 16:2-3 KJV.
That arrangement ended up working against Sarah at the long run, as the maid lost the respect she had for her because she began to see herself as as a co-wife. That made them send Hagar and her son away at the request of Sarah.”And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee. But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. “Genesis 16:4-6 KJV.
At the fulness of time, God came back to confirm his word to Abraham in the presence of his wife Sarah. This time he visited them and ate and drank with them. Before leaving he revalidated the promise of a miracle child to Abraham and his wife. “And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him. Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.” Genesis 18:9-11 KJV. Though Sarah laughed at the thought of having a child at such an old age, the Lord went ahead to keep his promise for his name sake. Today like in the life of Sarah, every promises of God in your life that looked delayed is being reactivated in the spirit for a physical manifestation without more delays by the mercies and grace of God. You will a reason to laugh and your laughter will attract many.

By your grace and mighty mercies I begin to walk in the reality of these promises. They become manifest in every area of my life in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
