“And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.” Genesis 17:15-16 KJV
Message: I want to remind you today of the story of Abraham. After several years of waiting for the promise of God, nothing happened. One day, Abraham decided to change their names as God instructed. He called his wife ‘Sarah’, mother of many nations and called himself ‘Abraham,’ father of many nations. This was an old childless couple. I can imagine their neighbors laughing at them as they called them by their new names. Let them laugh all they want. Soon, the miracle will manifest. When they finally had their child, he was named ‘Isaac’ meaning ‘laughter.’ Those who laughed at you will ultimately laugh with you.
You must keep calling yourself what God has called you. That is how to claim the Word of God for you. You may not look like it, but keep declaring it. The Holy Spirit is working in you. Beloved, your mouth is given to you to declare God’s Word, not for gossip. Can you imagine the type of world we will see if we all learn to speak the right things to one another? Job 6:25 says: “How forcible are right words…” (KJV). Right words carry force that creates. You will be shocked how many families are divided because of wrong words that should not have been spoken.
When we declare the Word, we put the devil on the run, knowing that we have come to possess our possession. Speak the word! That is all you need. When you see the promises of God on your behalf, apply it to yourself. Put your name there and put it on your fridge. Paste it everywhere so that anywhere you turn to, you will see the word. Claim the words for yourself and see it manifest in your life.
