His Promise, Your Breakthrough

Apostle Grace Lubega

Hebrews 11:11(KJV); Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

The fulfilment of the promises of God in your life has nothing to do with your physical efforts. God in His divine wisdom, eliminated the opportunity for any man to boast in what that man can do to move God.

For example, Abraham and Sarah could not claim Isaac as their son by biological means or through their human will. Sarah was way past childbearing age. In the books of science, a ninety-year-old woman can hardly conceive and carry a child to full term. 

Isaac came to his parents by the revelation of the Word of God. 

As our theme scripture reveals, Sarah received strength, conceived a seed, which is the Word of God(Luke 8:11) and delivered a child, who was Isaac.

Christ, the ultimate promise of God to mankind did not come by human effort either. Joseph and Mary could not claim Him as their child as a result of their own will.

What all this means is that your miracle will not come by your best-laid plans to achieve your goals. Even the best-laid plans can fail. It will not come by your admirably sharp strategy for success. Your opponent may have a better strategy. It will not come by what you strive to do to get God to approve of you. It will not come by the tireless actions on your part to please Him. 

It will come when you, like Sarah in her old age, understand that He who promised is faithful. 

It is not a bad thing to plan for the future. Strategies are good to have. However, you must remember that they count for nothing outside the boundaries of faith in God who has given us such precious promises. 

Today I urge you, in all your planning, your strategizing and your projections, to lean on His Word because it is the true and only guarantee of success. Plan with the Word, strategise with the Word and make projections with the Word.

Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET: Your miracle will not come by your best-laid plans to achieve your goals. Even the best-laid plans can fail. It will not come by your admirably sharp strategy for success. Your opponent may have a better strategy. It will not come by what you strive to do to get God to approve of you. It will not come by the tireless actions on your part to please Him. It will come when you, like Sarah in her old age, understand that He who promised is faithful. 

PRAYER: Father, I know that Your faithfulness knows no bounds. You are still the God who parts seas, the God who causes axes to float, the God who answers by fire, the God who opens closed wombs, the God who heals, the God who delivers and the God who raises the dead back to life. You are that God and I believe You. Your Word is the standard for my success and I live my life immersed in it. To the glory of Your name, Amen.
