Is anything too hard for the Lord?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Greetings to you, dear friends!I am so happy to have this opportunity to share the Word of God with you today. I would like us to look at a story about Sarah, Abraham’s wife. Here we’ll find another very important princple of faith.
„And He said, „I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.” (Sarah was listening in the tent door which was behin him.) Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and Sarah had passed the age of childbearing. Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, „After I have grown old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?” And the Lord said to Abraham, „Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ „Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” (Genesis, 18:10-14).
This story is very interesting because it talks about so many of us today. So very often we pray and pray and expect God to move, but, seeing no signs of changes in our situation, many of us accept it as the will of God and lose every desire to keep expecting a miracle. Possibly, a man won’t tell others that he does not believe in his miracle anymore, but inside he will say it loud and clear. That is what happened to Sarah. She did not say anything out loud, but inwardly she laughed, because she had decided that it is impossible. This laughter revealed to God what was happening in Sarah’s heart. She was asked then: „Why did Sarah laugh?” Sarah did not expect such a turn of events. God asks us this very important question just like He asked Sarah and we have to pay attention to it: „Is anything too hard for the Lord?”This question is so crucial because how we answer it will determine the measure of God’s involvment in our lives. This question helps us to realize that how much we know about God affects the level of our faith.When a person believes that there is nothing impossible for God, that person has a particular attitude towards life, a particular reaction to hardships, a particular spiritual attitude that appears when he or she runs into difficult problems that do not change for a long time.Is anything too hard for the Lord? Are there any situations in your life, which the Lord cannot change? Are there any situations in your family, your ministry, your church, or your relationships, which the Lord cannot change? Is there anything that God cannot change? No! There is noting impossible for the Lord!Do not give up! Do not give up your faith in God’s miracle for your life! Keep believing that God will alter you situation and your circumstances. This is the time when you need to go on believing God and then those things that seem humanly impossible will change. Today God desires for you to believe that there is nothing impossible for Him.Despite the fact that Sarah laughed, God still promised to come back at the appointed time and that Sarah would have a son. The seed – her son – was the promise given by God to Abram a long time ago. We must not lose faith in the promise given to us by God despite the situation and circumstances around us.Keep praying, keep working on the promises, keep sowing them like a seed, keep watering them through right confessions. Keep expecting that in due time everything God promised you will come to pass and you will be able to give birth to these promises, just like it happen to Sarah. Remeber that there is nothing impossible for God! It says in the Word of God that
“the things which are impossible with men are possible with God” (Luke, 18:27).
May God bless you today! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Faith, – biblical faith is cooperation with God in all sense. God will not do everything for you. He will not do for you, what you are unwilling to do yourself.Don’t just fold your arm in passivity expecting God to put bread in your mouth. The proof that you have faith in God is to carry out the instruction you already know. That is the essence of praying and reading the Bible, – to discern His will and understand His mind concerning a given situation and then act on what you know God is calling you to do.

    You might want to ask why the devil (and not God) is the ruler of this earth. The answer is that God entrusted the rulership of the earth to humans for a time and He cannot take it back before the set time. «May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth. The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; but the earth He has given to the children of men» (Psalm, 115:15-16).

    The Scripture mentioned above teaches that it is necessary for us to look unto God by entering into His presence and learn to draw strength and wisdom from Him. Let us look at the life of Moses. Moses’ face was shined when he descended from the mountain where he spent time conversing with God. This is what Psalms 34:5 is talking about. Those who looked unto God and met with Him were definitely enlightened. Such people will never be disgraced.

    «Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred.» (Mark 4:3-8)

    Sometimes one word in the Bible can be followed as a thread throughout all of the pages of the Book.I once sat down to write a letter to a brother. I prayed and asked God to help me write not just words, but to make it a blessing for this person. As I was writing, I noticed that I had started preaching in the letter. Later I put it aside, because one word had totally consumed my attention. I began to study this word in the Bible. I began studying the phrases like “God is able” and „God can”. I started reading all the verses that contained these phrases. It was so interesting that I totally forgot about the letter. The study of particular Bible words can be very interesting and profitable.
