Scripture Reading: Genesis12:1-4
Main Scripture: Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: Gen 12:1-2 (KJV)

Do you have a dream or an idea that you consider out of this world? Are you afraid to tell others because you are afraid that they might say you are crazy? Have you shared that dream with someone and they told you that it’s impossible?
Today’s scripture tells us about one such man, Abram - A man who must have been considered crazy when he told his family and peers that God spoke to him. God told Abram to come out from among his people and He would make him father of many nations. He heard from a God that no one could see. As such, he must have been considered crazy.
Abram’s family worshipped idols and was used to seeing and touching a physical, tangible God. However, Abram obeyed God and today; we can see the manifestation of many nations through Isaac and Ishmael just because he followed his “crazy dreams” and listened to “the voice” in his head. He trusted God and God kept His promise.
Many great inventors and voyageurs were laughed at or considered crazy when they shared their ideas with others. Guglielmo Marconi was an Italian inventor who was known as the father of long distance radio transmission. He developed Marconi's law and a radio telegraph system. He was taken to a psychopathic hospital by his friends and examined when he announced that he had discovered a principle through which he could send messages through the air, without the aid of wires, or other physical means of communication. (Irshad, Info Barrel Technology)
The problem is that, people usually close their minds to things they can’t see. However, the bible encourages us to live by faith and not by sight. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that “… faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Mohammad Irshad author of InfoBarrel Technology said that “creativity can be undertaken if you take your mind to limits beyond the ordinary visible extremes.”
Even though the economic situation does not seem favourable, as far as the eyes can see, all roads lead to failure and the people around you are telling you that your ideas are crazy or what you set out to do is impossible. Ladies I am encouraging you today to trust the small voice in your head that tells you that you can do the impossible and that you are great. Believe in yourself, think big, make the first step and take the limits off God. Like, Abraham trust Him, you might have descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky in your loins.
Let’s Pray
Father of all dreams and impossibilities, we thank you for blessing us with great ideas and dreams. We trust you Lord to take the limits off. Cause us to take our minds beyond what we can see in our finances, in our marriages, in all our endeavours and all desires.
In Jesus Name
Amen
Have A God Filled Day Ladies
