God Is about To Make Me Laugh!!
God Is about To Make Me Laugh!!
1 Later, the Lord again appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre. Abraham was sitting at the entrance of his tent during the hottest part of the day.
2 He looked up and saw three men standing near him. When Abraham saw them, he ran from his tent to meet them. He bowed facedown on the ground before them
3 and said, “Sir, if you think well of me, please stay awhile with me, your servant.
4 I will bring some water so all of you can wash your feet. You may rest under the tree,
5 and I will get some bread for you so you can regain your strength. Then you may continue your journey.” The three men said, “That is fine. Do as you said.”
6 Abraham hurried to the tent where Sarah was and said to her, “Hurry, prepare twenty quarts of fine flour, and make it into loaves of bread.”
7 Then Abraham ran to his herd and took one of his best calves. He gave it to a servant, who hurried to kill it and to prepare it for food.
8 Abraham gave the three men the calf that had been cooked and milk curds and milk. While they ate, he stood under the tree near them.
9 The men asked Abraham, “Where is your wife Sarah?” “There, in the tent,” said Abraham.
10 Then the Lord said, “I will certainly return to you about this time a year from now. At that time your wife Sarah will have a son.” Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent which was behind him.
11 Abraham and Sarah were very old. Since Sarah was past the age when women normally have children,
12 she laughed to herself, “My husband and I are too old to have a baby.”
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘I am too old to have a baby’?
14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? No! I will return to you at the right time a year from now, and Sarah will have a son.”
15 Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I didn’t laugh.” But the Lord said, “No. You did laugh.”
Gen 18:1-15
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
Jer 3:27
And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.
I Need you to prophesy to three people and tell them, This next blessing God gives me is going to be so ridiculous..
Opening Up Genesis Chapter 8: Promise and Provision (21:1–23:20)
Isn’t it disappointing when people do not keep their word? We’ve all had it happen to us at one time or another. And when it does, we can become jaded and bitter; or develop a great fear of entrusting ourselves to other people; or take the attitude that, “If you want something done, you have to do it yourself.” Worst of all, for many of us, these attitudes begin to color the way that we relate to God. Maybe we can’t be sure if he will keep his word. We fear making too radical a commitment, lest we end up being hurt in the end. And we take matters into our own hands.
Like Abraham & Sarah who where no longer allowed God to bless the family, they felt they needed to help God with introducing Hagar into the relationship.
So Abram left Haran as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. At this time Abram was 75 years old.
So Abram left Haran as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. At this time Abram was 75 years old.
He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and everything they owned, as well as all the servants they had gotten in Haran. They set out from Haran, planning to go to the land of Canaan, and in time they arrived there.
Abram traveled through that land as far as the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. The Canaanites were living in the land at that time.
Hagar gave birth to a son for Abram, and Abram named him Ishmael.
Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son’s name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
New Century Version Chapter 17
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty. Obey me and do what is right. I will make an agreement between us, and I will make you the ancestor of many people.”
Then Abram bowed facedown on the ground. God said to him, “I am making my agreement with you: I will make you the father of many nations. I am changing your name from Abram to Abraham because I am making you a father of many nations.
New Century Version Chapter 17
God said to Abraham, “I will change the name of Sarai, your wife, to Sarah. I will bless her and give her a son, and you will be the father. She will be the mother of many nations. Kings of nations will come from her.”
Abraham bowed facedown on the ground and laughed. He said to himself, “Can a man have a child when he is a hundred years old? Can Sarah give birth to a child when she is ninety?” Then Abraham said to God, “Please let Ishmael be the son you promised.”
New Century Version Chapter 17
God said, “No, Sarah your wife will have a son, and you will name him Isaac. I will make my agreement with him to be an agreement that continues forever with all his descendants.
So it brings us to our Text!!
And the Million Dollar Question is
Where Is Your Wife?
I Need you to prophesy to three people and tell them, This next blessing God gives me is going to be so ridiculous..
1. Where Is Your Wife Sarah?
Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.
Where is your good thing Abraham?
if your single, what is it that gives you favor?
God shows Abraham that his generational Blessing Is Directly connected to Sarah… Kings are coming out of her.. (Sarah mean Princes)
Where is your Sarah? See believe it or not God uses People to bless You..
Give generously and generous gifts will be given back to you, shaken down to make room for more. Abundant gifts will pour out upon you with such an overflowing measure that it will run over the top! Your measurement of generosity becomes the measurement of your return.”
The Problem is you been more comfortable with hanging out Hagar, because its easy, less waiting time not much sacrifice..
But a Sarah favor takes time, patients, long suffering, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control, Love & Joy..
See Today’s Christian can only have those attributes if life has dealt them a perfect hand. But thats Not a real Christians testimony..
When you can go thru without announcing it to the whole world, when you can be hurting & healing at the same time, when your determined to make upside down frowns, when hell has hit you with every blow but you still find a way to bless God.. Because you realize your closer to your Promise..
Then your acting like a Christ-ian.
These sad faced, ashy faced Christians are aggy… They don’t represent the kingdom Of God..
Then your acting like a Christ-ian.
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
So if the reason why you look so sad and angry all the time is because you having relationship problems.. I feel Bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the Kingdom ain’t One....
* I’m Too Blessed to Quit.... If you realize God has been covering you all your life and you ain’t worthy of the life you live.. Stop what your doing and bless God
2.) And He said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of Life ( 9 months) and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son.
Many of us have been waiting for a year, 3 years, 8 years and it seems like God hasn’t done what he said he was going to do.
But you must not forget this one thing, dear friends: A day is like a thousand years to the Lord, and a thousand years is like a day.
2 Peter
We ain’t waiting on God, God is waiting on Us…
The House he is about to bless you with you couldn’t have handled 4,000 sq. feet 10 years ago. So he’s been waiting on you to be faithful over a few things before he makes you ruler over many.
You know you wasn’t ready for that BMW 5 yrs ago, the note the taxes, the insurance and yea the service thats required. ( its not that he didn’t want you to have it, it was he was waiting for you to grow up.. )
No wait a dang on cotton picking minute… Marriage… 3 yrs ago.....You still need to get a spiritual divorce from your babies daddy you still in love with… God ain’t going to let you wreck that man’s life up like that..
Bra Bra, That good job.. and you can’t tithes $40-50 a week and you want God to bless you with more...
Free Style
Corresponding to the 40 days that the spies toured the land, God decreed that the Israelites would wander in the wilderness for 40 years as a result of their unwillingness to take the land.
God’s not going to make you take it!!! 9 months or 9 years!! it’s a promise to bless you..
Point #3
12 So she laughed silently to herself and said, “How could a worn-out woman like me enjoy such pleasure, especially when my master—my husband—is also so old?”
13 Then the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, ‘Can an old woman like me have a baby?’
14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return about this time next year, and Sarah will have a son.”
She Laughed to herself because she couldn’t imagine the God of the Universe being able to create a Miracle in her womb..
Some of you have laughed at the possibilities that as old as you are its no way God can bless me..
But why do you feel your too old, too short, too tall, too skinny, too fat, too broke…
Is there anything ToO hard for God?
See I think the problem with many of us is we focus more on what hasn’t happen and we should be showing gratitude for what has already happen.
So stop for one minute and rewind back in your life of all the hell, trouble, sickness, abuse, calamities you have experienced and THREW it ALL.. GOD made a way out of no way 4U..
So at this point you should be able to receive this ridiculous blessing..
