SUBJECT : WE SERVE A LIMITLESS GOD!

Memory verse: "Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.” (Ephesians 3 vs 20.)

READ: Genesis 18 bs 9 - 15:

18:9: And they said to him, “Where is Sarah your wife?” So he said, “Here, in the tent.”

18:10: And he said, “I will certainly return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son.” (Sarah was listening in the tent door, which was behind him.)

18:11: Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well advanced in age; and Sarah had past the age of childbearing.

18:12: Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, “After I have grown old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”

18:13: And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, “Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?”

18:14: Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

INTIMATION:

Most definitions of the word “limit” expresses a point or level beyond which something is not to extend or pass. The key word in the definitions and descriptions of limit is the word beyond. This may be reference to a boundary that ceases to be possible, a measure, which cannot be exceeded, an amount that cannot be calculated, or a maximum amount allowed.

Then “limitless” is the quality of being infinite, without bound or limit.

God is limitless. Everything about God is beyond us, including our expectation and thought. The God we serve is beyond the intellectual capacity of finite men to fully comprehend. There is nothing difficult or impossible with Him. Hence there is no limit in God’s capability and capacity. Age couldn’t limit Him in making Abraham and Sarah fruitful in having a child at the age of 100 years and 90 years. The grave couldn’t limit Him in raising Lazarus to life after 4 days in the grave, and so many other instances in the Bible.

God wants us to know him as the God who is capable to do, although his capability is beyond our comprehension. Sometimes we may humanly wonder can something be done. With the help of God it can because with God all things are possible. God is so able to do all that we ask, think or imagine. God’s ability to do is unlimited. The reason why is because God is the Lord who is strong and mighty (Psalm 24 vs 8); power belongs to him (Psalm 62 vs 11). He is of great power; one abundant in strength (Psalm 147 vs 5).

In our anchor Scripture, the apostle Paul also establishes that God’s capacity, or extent, for doing far exceeds our capacity for asking or imagining. In other words, God’s capacity is not limited to our thinking capacity: “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55 vs 8 - 9.)

To what extent then is God able to do? Paul encourages us that God is able to do exceedingly, or more than, abundantly, or much more than, above all! God is able to do immeasurably far more or beyond all we have the capacity to ask or think for He is the God of super abundance. Because of God’s capability, he is able to do all. Because of God’s capacity, he is able to do above all.

“Is there anything too hard for God?” The obvious answer is, “Of course not!” This question reveals much about God. Make it a habit to insert your specific needs into the question. “Is this day in my life too hard for the Lord?” “Is this habit I am trying to break too hard for God?” “Is the communication problem I am having too hard for God?” “Is this issue or problem I am in too hard for God?” Asking the question this way reminds you that God is personally involved in your life and nudges you to ask for His power to help you. 

From a practical standpoint, how should the reality that God can do above all impact our lives? Should our prayer life change as we become more confident in God’s unlimited ability? Our anchor Scripture possibly suggests that our thinking should affect our praying.

If God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, why not believe the Lord for more? To experience God’s unlimited power, take the limits off your prayers. Take a little time to think before you pray.

Prayer: Abba Father, You are great and greatly to praised. There is nothing impossible or difficult for You. In everything You are limitless. Your greatness is unsearchable and Your ways past finding out. My unshakable confidence is in You in all things, in Jesus’ Name I have prayed, Amen.

PRAISE THE LORD!
