Title: God Almighty (Genesis 18:9-15)
Content One of the attributes of God is ‘omnipotence’. The word 'everything' literally means 'nothing is impossible'. We are this very people of God. Because we have the life of Jesus Christ. God makes those who have the life of Jesus Christ his children and becomes their God.
Unfortunately, even though we say we are God's children, we do not believe in God's power in real life. They are looking for Almighty God, but in reality they do not believe in the Almighty God. what is the reason
1. Because we are addicted to the laws of nature.
2. Faith looks at ‘the reality of hope’.
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, which the forefathers obtained evidence from” (Hebrews 11:1,2). I look forward to your hand. Reality may not match our expectations. Like Abraham and Sarah, you may already be at an age where childbirth is impossible. As recorded in Numbers 13, the land of Canaan, which Israel so longed for, may be an impregnable fortress that cannot be conquered. As recorded in John 11:39, Lazarus' life was cut off and he had been dead for four days, and it could be "a corpse already smelling.
But faith is not bound by this reality. We look at the reality with eyes of hope. Although reality may seem to us as a mountain that cannot be overcome, our faith changes the reality by looking at and trusting in the hand of the Lord, who has nothing to overcome. God wants those who believe and depend on Him to let them know that He is God.
The problem is our beliefs. Those who have the life of Jesus Christ are already God's people. We are blessed to do all things in faith. Jesus made a clear promise of this fact. “Nothing is impossible for him who believes” (Mark 9:23) - Amen -
