Faith increases our capacity

Hebrews 11:11
“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.”

Sarah bears witnesses to us that faith brings into the life of the one who has it an increased capacity. Faith increases our capacity and enables us to do more than we normally do. I like the way the Message Bible expressed our text:

“By faith, barren Sarah was able to become pregnant…”

She that was barren was able to become pregnant! Even though the context has to do with fruit of the womb, we can apply it to fruitfulness in every area. So you may seemingly be barren of ideas to move your life, your business, etc. forward but if you allow your faith in God to have it’s expression, you will be amazed at what will come forth from you. This is because faith comes from God and it is also faith in God. 

That is why a man who had been blind from his birth could come to the place that he begins to entertain the thought of seeing like everybody else. Or a woman who had suffered at the hands of doctors for twelve years could express hope of living a life free from that issue that had been part of her life all these while. 

When Jesus wanted to liken a man who hears His word and does not do or does them , He said such a one is likened to one who builds a house. Why liken to one who builds a house? It is because faith in God brings to the one who has it an increase in capacity, you have the capacity to build, to grow, increase and enlarge. No more barrenness , no more unfruitfulness and no more stagnation. You have received strength through faith to conceive and to bring forth.

CONFESSION: I believe I have a greater capacity through faith. I can generate fresh ideas.

PRAYER: I pray for you today, that you receive a fresh baptism of ideas from on high in Jesus name.
