He’s Able

God is able to do just what He said He would do. He’s going to fulfill every promise to you. Don’t give up on God because He won’t give up on you—He’s able! – Excerpt of He’s Able by Deitrick Haddon
God is able to do exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ever hope or ask for. The bible says that we cannot even begin to imagine the wondrous things God can do. We serve an Almighty God. All power, all dominion and all glory belong to Him. He causes all things to work together for the good of those who love Him. In His appointed time, the bible says that God will release His promise and cause it to manifest in our lives.

Remember Abraham and Sarah? Both were well past their reproductive years when God made them a promise. Of course, like most of us they grew tired of waiting on God and decided to take matters into their own hands. Hence, Ishmael was born to Haggar and Abraham. However, when God’s timing arrived, God did exactly what He promised Abraham he would do: cause Him to have a son. Yes, Abraham and Sarah were just about 100-years-old when Issac was born; but God fulfilled His promise. Their age did not veto the decree He issued in the presence of heaven’s tribunal. The condition of their bodies did not thwart His promise. The fact that they arrogantly tried to manifest the promise themselves did not even cause God to miss a beat!

So My word that comes from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and will prosper in what I send it [to do]." – Isaiah 55:11
God’s word never returns to Him unfulfilled. It will accomplish everything He designed it too. Therefore, if you are waiting on God to satisfy a promise He made to you, know that He is able. It does not matter how much time has elapsed or what things seem to look like. When David was anointed King over Israel it took years before he was able to operate in that call. When God made His promise to Abraham, it is estimated that it took twenty-five years before the promise, Isaac, was born.

God is not confined by the laws of time or space. He moves effortlessly through dimensions and space-time complexities like a swimmer glides through water. He is all powerful and omnipresent. He is able to do what He promised and He will—wait on Him. One of the most important things we can do is give God time to move. Abraham and Sarah failed to do this initially.

They became impatient and made decisions that were grossly unwise. What kind of person thinks it is a good idea to let their husband sleep with their personal assistant? Clearly, the person was prideful and impatient. God is God all by Himself—he does not require our help. Sikhism teaches there is only one God.
