Topic: God Does Not Work With A Perfect Army!
Scripture: Romans 4: 16-22
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be [a]sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all
17 (as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did; 18 who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, “So shall your descendants be.”
19 And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. 20 He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. 22 And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Our Daily Manna Today 3rd February ODM Devotional Message:
Wow! Today is my SPIRITUAL BIRTHDAY – The day I got Born Again (February 3rd 1976 at about 9.45pm)! It’s been a 45-year journey of GRACE! Listen: I have discovered in 45 years that: God’s work done in God’s way will never lack God’s supply. When we face difficulties, we sometimes forget God’s past faithfulness and provision. We see only the detours and the current dangerous paths. But look back and you will also see the joy of victory, the shocking SUPPLY that met your needs, the challenge of the climb, and the presence of your travelling Companion who has promised never to leave you nor forsake you.
Vs. 17 of today’s scripture says: “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations), before Him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” Vs 18: “Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, ‘So shall thy seed be.”
I am sent today to prophesy to you: “YOU WILL BE TAKEN from the back to the front and you will never end up in SHAME! You that have been in the front, shall NEVER suffer DEMOTION.” Oh, thank you Jesus! That was why He decided to use the VAIN MEN of Jephthah and RAHAB to deliver Israel. That was why He used the SELFISH RAVEN (not the EAGLE) to feed Elijah. Oh, that was why He chose the small army of Gideon to silence the vast army of the enemy! He calls you great even when you are grinding! He calls you FRUITFUL with children even when you are childless! He calls you strong when you are weak!
Yea, He calls you RICH even when you are in LACK. He calls the things that be not as though they are! He calls you ABRAHAM (father of a multitude) instead of a father of one (ABRAM). Ah! He calls you a DANCER and He rejoices over you with singing even when all you see is DELAY (Zeph. 3: 17). Lift up your hands now and begin to call the things that be not as though they are! Then go on and praise Him as you shout 45 halleluiahs!
