God had promised Abraham that he and Sarah would have a son and He would make him a father of many nations through that son. The challenge was that he and Sarah were in their upper nineties. Even though Abraham realized that this was impossible in the natural, He still believed God. He did not waver at His promise. He was fully convinced that God would do what He promised. The book of Romans reveals just how thoroughly Abraham believed God: Romans 4: 20-22 “He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Abraham gave glory to God by believing God’s promises. He also received his “miracle son” by faith. What “miracle” are you asking God for? The Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He gave Abraham a miracle that is still being spoken about today! Be like Abraham and be strengthened in your faith. Know that what God promises, He is well able to perform. Your miracle is on its way!
You have already been blessed!
The Apostle Paul understood by revelation that in Christ, we are already blessed with all spiritual blessings. We are not attempting to get blessed, or begging God to bless us. He is our loving Heavenly Father, and it pleased Him to bless us in Christ. Ephesians 1:3 says: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, The Greek word for Bless (Eulogeo) has various meanings, but part of the meaning is: “to cause to prosper.” As God’s children, we already have the privilege of God’s blessing. We have been given His power by His Holy Spirit. Greater is He that is in you than He that is in the world (1 John 4:4). Walk with your head held high because you are a child of the KING and you are already blessed!
