Are We Missing Out OnThe Big Thing

Are We Missing Out OnThe Big Thing
When we mention Sarah, the first thing that comes into our mind is the miracle baby, Isaac. Miracle because, Sarah was old and she cannot conceived. We know from Gen17:17 Sarah was ninety years old and Abraham fell to the ground laughing when he was told that he will be father of many. And in Gen 18:12, Sarah also laugh and felt that been old, she cannot provide pleasure to Abraham in sex... She must be old, really old to feel that way............... Gen18:12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After my being old, shall there be pleasure to me; my lord also being old?

If Sarah is beautiful and young, she should not have any worry about giving pleasure to Abraham.

However, in subsequent chapter, Sarah did turn out to be an attractive lady. So much so that King Abimelech wanted her.

Sarah not only amazingly gave birth at the age of 91 years old but Sarah at that age can attract King Abimelech to want her. This sounds a bit absurd and send shivers in many young men’s blood stream that has high hormones. Can a King be attracted to an old lady?

The King is not blind. It is safe to say that the King Abimelech is not blind. King Abimelech has a choice........... to choose or not to choose Sarah as his harem. King Abimelech is not forced to take Sarah, nor is King Abimelech a fetish maniac. We can confirm this because, Abraham himself is so afraid to tell King Abimelech that Sarah is his wife. Instead Abraham chose to tell King Abimelech that Sarah is his sister ( purposely avoiding the fact that Sarah is his wife) The bible tells us that Abraham was afraid that King Abimelech may kill him to possess Sarah. Why on earth will a King do that? Yes, King Abilemelech will only kill for Sarah if she is very beautiful and attractive lady. All this is found in Genesis chapter20. And Chapter 20 is after Chapter 17:17, where we know Sarah is 90 years old. Effectively King Abimelech has chose a granny to be her harem.

How can this be? God changed Sarah's name from Sarai (which means Bossy) to Sarah which means Princes. Imagine, when Abraham called her name out, he is effectively pronouncing God's word. Yes, God's word can change Sarah from an old lady that has no confidence in giving pleasure to Abraham to a lady that is sought after by King, King Abimelech.

(In John1:1 , 14, we learn that Beginning there is Word, Word is with God. Word is God. And in John 1:14, we learn that Word became flesh. Thus in application wise......... Sarah = Word, Sarah= God, Sarah = Flesh.....which means Princes= Word, Princes = God, Princes = Flesh)


Conclusion: Name has a impact on our life. To speak out or to call out, has an impact of putting God's word into action. Action that can transformed.
