Texts: Gen.18:9-15, Lk.1:24-38
In the introductory session, the place of faith in God’s servant was established (2Chro.20:20, Isa.44:24-26a). The believer is, therefore, to believe God to get established and believe His prophet for prosperity. (Isa.50:10)
Our texts showcases that were naturally impossible, namely conception of an aged woman (89 years old), and of a virgin; yet God’s word spoke otherwise.
For the first case, the reproductive organs of the aged woman will have to be revamped
And revitalized to generate the seed to be fertilized. In the second case, a greater feat will have to be done, and the Holy Ghost will overshadow (exert creative energy upon the womb) and impregnate her with a supernatural Being, who will emerge as the Salvation of humanity (Gen.3:16, Isa.9:6).
Today, God’s word is saying “you shall conceive and bear.”
Conception is about the fertilization of seed and implantation. It can also be figuratively
Used of creation of something in the mind; innovation (introduction of something new).
As the seed of a man fertilizes the egg of a woman to form the embryo which ultimately develops into mature baby, so also are there seeds (ideas) in various fields of life that get fertilized and implanted to yield solutions to life challenges, “Ideas rule the world.”
■ Every life challenge is an opportunity for invention and wealth; it takes only a man that has the fertilized (workable) idea to harness the opportunity. (Eccl 11:3).
Joseph had the key to Egypt’s problem and harnessed it (Gen.41:38-41).
Moses had the ROD that brought the answer to the state of Israelites ( Ex.4:1-5 ).
Daniel had the solution to the Emperor’s problem (Dan.6:3 ). J
acob had the secret code to agricultural increase and so didn’t get frustrated by the oppression of the father in law. (Gen.30:17-34, 43).
Isaac got God’s word and acted; his effort was blessed with a 100 fold increase at a time of famine (Gen.26:1-5,12).
The same power of God that causes the barren to conceive also causes the foodstuff to multiply. The creative power of God produced money for the settlement of temple tax collectors (Matt.17:24-27).
King Uzzah’s staff and strategy gave him prominence over his neighbours in the military sphere (2Chr.26:11-15).
In every sphere of life, ideas rule: dictating who holds what. Everything tangible that you see around you is someone’s idea: Electricity, Car, Aircraft, Train.
The creative Spirit of God fertilizes ideas and provides the womb of implantation (sponsors of the vision). Whatever area of life you belong to, the Spirit of God does empower you to make wealth there (Deut.8:18)
Now, regardless of your situation believe God and His servant (cons. Acts 27:9-14,18-25, Rom.3:4). It should be remembered that when one believes a thing, he will resist whatever is speaking or acting the contrary.
