Abraham heard from God direct, that is why from the start, he moved out of his father's house as commanded by God. He was known as the man of faith. He stepped into the unknown believing God shall carry out to completion what he has said he shall do.
One of the most important lessons I have picked from the Abraham and Sarah, not only story but a, practical teaching that applies even today is this.
Abraham and Sarah would have had Isaac earlier had it been that Sarah heard from God direct sooner that she was no exemption in the covenant between Abraham and God. Maybe then she would not have suggested that he sleeps with her maid in order to try to fulfil God's promises.
Yes out of that story is a great testimony that Sarah conceived in her late stage thus, reminding us that God is Great and he makes a way where there seems to be no way but our women, the modern day Sarah must understand something. Her faith in the promises that God has given us can either cause a delay or quicken the promises.
Understanding this that she has a role to play in the fulfilment of that promise, shall leave her with zero choice but to demand that she also hears from God direct at a sooner stage thereby, preventing the delay, that together, we may receive that promise of God to us.
And as men, we must at all cost see to it that we present her to the alter of the Lord that she may hear from him direct knowing better that until our Sarah hears direct from God and have faith in the doings of the Lord, the fulfilment of the promise shall delay.
Of course there is no delay with God but certain things can be achieved at a more sooner stage than later. This would then enable us to work and fulfil other assignments left to be done as God continues using us.
One most a lesson that we should understand also is this that much as God can promise that he shall do certain things, he waits for our part to be done. He waits for our faith to grow, engaging us and ploughing us as an environment for the planting of his promises and thus see the harvest come to pass.
May the modern day Sarah know that she is part of the promise and live that together we may fulfil earlier and thus, no delay to be caused.
