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!
Mine your business!
The term “mind your own business” is not a new term. The Apostle Paul told the church back in his day to mind their own business and to work with their own hands. This way they would be able to walk worthy of their call and lack nothing. 1 Thessalonians 4: 10-12 says: “But we urge you, brethren, that you increase more and more; that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.” The Lord Jesus told His parents that He had to be about His Father’s business (Luke 2:49). So the focus for those who succeed in their endeavors is to not only mind or tend to their business, but to also “mine” their business. the word mine has various meanings. One of the meanings is: a place where there is a rich source of supply that needs to be accessed by digging. Gold and silver is found deep within mines. We also have rich resources within us. God has already equipped us with wisdom, abilities, potential, partnerships, resources and seed to be prosperous and lack nothing. So it’s time to stop looking for others to make things happen for us, and to look at what God has already placed in our hands. Say like Jesus and Paul: “I must be about my Father’s business”, and begin to “mine” your own business!
Luke 2:49 “And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”
