An Abundantly Able God!

Abundantly Able

"And being absolutely certain that whatever promise He is bound by, He is able to make good" (Rom. 4:20).

We are told that Abraham could look at his own body and consider it as good as dead without being discouraged, because he was not looking at himself but at the Almighty One.

He did not stagger at the promise, but stood straight up unbending beneath his mighty load of blessing; and instead of growing weak he waxed strong in the faith, grew more robust, the more difficulties became apparent, glorifying God through His very sufficiency and being "fully persuaded" (as the Greek expresses it) "that he who had promised was," not merely able, but as it literally means "abundantly able," munificently able, able with an infinite surplus of resources, infinitely able "to perform."

He is the God of boundless resources. The only limit is in us. Our asking, our thinking, our praying are too small; our expectations are too limited. He is trying to lift us up to a higher conception, and lure us on to a mightier expectation and appropriation. Oh, shall we put Him in derision? There is no limit to what we may ask and expect of our glorious El-Shaddai; and there is but one measure here given for His blessing, and that is "according to the power that worketh in us."  --A. B. Simpson

How often have I said that God meets us at the level of our expectancy? The problem is that our expectations are too low. Too many believers are simply in survival mode. We are asking for bills to get paid and for less traffic on the way to work. Is that all your mind an conceive? Are the mundane issues in your life the ceiling of your concerns? Are the simple necessities of life the extent of your aspirations? There is nothing impossible with God. There is nothing that you can ask that will challenge His omnipotence.

If God can bring life from two dead bodies in Abraham and Sarah, than he can perform the supernatural in yours. To this point you have not experienced the supernatural workings of God. You are asking yourself what is the difference between you and Abraham? Maybe it is the fact that God chose Abraham, but He also chose you. The only difference is that Abraham was willing to believe God for the impossible. What do you believe God for? What are you expecting from God?

The Word says that Abraham did not stagger at the promises of God, believing that God was more than able to perform that which had promised. I have a little saying, "When you refuse to stagger, you develop swagger." Swagger is a confidence (originating in your faith in God) that flows outwardly to the point of impacting those other than yourself.
