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 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 likened 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.
