TOPIC: WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE
Bible Reading: Deuteronomy 33-34. Luke 1:24-56
“For with God nothing shall be impossible” Luke 1:38 (KJV).
Our God does not see anything with the mind of impossibility. He is God and creator of all things and as such having anything impossible to Him is an irony. God is not limited by anything. He declares a thing and it comes to pass. The bible 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” Romans 4:17(KJV). Our limitation as human produces what is impossible, but the limitless God does not have anything impossible to him. One of the greatest act is to walk upon water, our God performed that feet with so much ease but with man it is impossible.
Possibilities are curtailed by limitations, e.g. it is impossible for a man to float in the air on earth or move upward without any gadget as we are limited by the law of gravity. However, that law could not deter Christ from ascending to heaven in bodily form.” And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Luke 18:27(KJV). There are situations that may occur in your life and you give up considering the impossibility of changing such situations, it is for this cause that Christ came so that through faith in Him your seemingly impossible situations can be made possible.
He came to release upon us the divine nature which operates through faith in Him. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having overcome the corruption that is in the world through lust” 2 Peter 1: 3-4 (KJV). All things that pertain to life and godliness has been given to us by the knowledge of Christ through His exceeding great and precious promises (the Word of God) that transform us into His divine nature. One of the quality of divine nature is the possibility of all things. “Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth” Mark 9:23(KJV). Believing in the possibility of all things is taking the divine nature and living in it.
To Mary it was impossible as it was unheard of that without contact with a man a woman should get pregnant. This is based on human believe system that is limited by faithlessness and lack of knowledge. However, to the angel that stay in God’s presence he knows better and had to explain to Mary. The birth of Christ carries an impossible human tag, that has been the subject of debate and human criticism throughout the ages. Man argues and sees from a very limited perspective hence he declares what he cannot explain with his limited knowledge as impossible, but our God who operates in limitless dimension does not see impossibility.
It is my humble request, my dear reader, for you to come to the God of all possibilities so that He will begin to turn that seemingly impossible position in your life around.
Prayer: Father give me the grace to align with you in all things.
