FAITH CAPSULE: Believe in the word and testimonies in the pages of the Bible; do not cast off restraint, your miracle is on the way.

Luke 1:1-25
It is written concerning Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:5-6, “…the LORD had closed her womb. 6 And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the LORD had closed her womb.” Despite her confronting challenge, she kept her faith and did not stop from going to Shiloh with her husband yearly to worship and sacrifice to the Lord in Shiloh. Are you experiencing barrenness in any area of life? God is the One and only God that can make and un-make. By virtue of your challenges, there should be no reason for bitterness in any area of life. Bitterness will not help and there should be no room for it. Pray that under no circumstances should you harbor bitterness in your life. Zacharias a minister in the temple and his wife Elizabeth lived in the days of Herod the king of Judea. Zacharias and his wife Elizabeth were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless (Luke 1:6). Despite their walk in the Lord they were barren and no evidence of bitterness and excuse in their work for God. As a believer that is looking up to God for a miracle and serving God not as much as the Bible recorded for Zacharias and Elizabeth, are you nursing any kind of bitterness? As one that serves God, the people that are surrounding you are beginning to wonder why your miracle is being delayed. It is not for man to determine how God is going to move concerning your miracle but God is the only one that is in control. Zacharias continues with his business of serving God. Zacharias did not allow any filtration of anger or bitterness towards God’s work or any man. As Zacharias continues in serving God it was recorded in Luke 1:13, “But the angel said to him, ‘Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayers is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.’” It does not matter how long you have been waiting but it matters for you to keep focus on what God can do. Believe in the word and testimonies in the pages of the Bible; do not cast off restraint, your miracle is on the way. Be encouraged and not be discouraged in the Lord; continue to serve in truth and without bitterness, frustration or anger. God will answer your prayer just like He did to Hannah, Zacharias and Elizabeth.

Prayer for today: Every situation that is representing barrenness in all that concerns your life will be terminated in Jesus name. Stay focus and hold unto God that is able and will never fail.
