[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word-filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests His Word and nourishes our spirits.

[0:12] May the life of God enter into you anew as you listen to this message. Be blessed. There was a lady in the Bible called Sarah. Before her husband met God, she was barren.

[0:27] So the barrenness in her life was not because of God. That was her portion in life.

[0:39] Just like the man who was born blind. That was his portion in life. Just like the man in Lystra who was crippled from his mother's womb.

[0:53] That was the portion in life. There are certain conditions that are your portion. But it's not a good condition. And the Bible says that Abraham and Sarah could not have children.

[1:14] Genesis chapter 11 from verse 27. Sarah could not have children. Before God called Abraham. And then God told Abraham to leave his people.

[1:28] To leave his land. So Abraham was childless. And then God made him landless. Hallelujah.

[1:39] Hallelujah. So the childless man then became landless. So he didn't have a child.

[1:51] He didn't have a child. And those were the two most important things in his life. And God said, I am your shield and your exceedingly grateful world.

[2:08] And he said, for your wife Sarah shall conceive. And so God blessed him with so many things.

[2:19] And Abraham said, verse chapter 15. See, you have done. When God told him, I am your greatness and your exceedingly reward. He said, but you have done everything for me.

[2:31] But a foreigner will be my heir. He said, where did you hear that from? He had already done his will. He has planned his will. Because he was old and childless.

[2:44] At this time, he was about 66. And childless. So he has made his will and put Eliezer of Damascus into his will.

[2:57] Eliezer of, and Abraham said, Lord, what would that give me? See what of my house. Is this Eliezer of Damascus? God said, who told you?

[3:10] Eliezer of Damascus will not be your heir. For your wife Sarah. Behold.

[3:21] The other man said, this shall not be thine heir. But that shall come. That. But he that shall come forth out of your own bowels shall be thine heir.

[3:34] What does the verse 5 say? Verse 5. And he said, come, let me show you. So God said, come, let's go out. Let's go out for a walk. So God took him out and made him look at the stars.

[3:44] And he said, look at it towards the heavens and tell the stars. If you can number them. And he said, no, I can't number them. And he said, this is how your seed shall be. So God had a word.

[3:58] A word that would change his. The word that would change his situation. His genealogy. The issue of his genealogy was the last statement.

[4:09] The word God gave. And he brought him forth abroad. And he said, now look towards the heavens and tell the stars. If you can number them. So he said, look at it.

[4:20] If you can number them. And he said, this is how your seed. You are talking about Eliezer. This is how your descendants shall be. Everybody say, so shall thy seed be.

[4:36] So shall thy seed be. Say it again. So shall thy seed be. At that time he's done his plan as well. His wife was barren before they met God.

[4:47] And many years after they had met God. God, they have obeyed God. God has given them land, prosperity and everything. The wife was still barren. Now he was preparing his will.

[4:58] He's put his Eliezer there. God said, no, not this. I'm not even just talking about one A. But look, so shall that. And you know what Abraham did?

[5:09] In human terms, he foolishly believed that statement. When you are childless. How what makes you think that your seed shall be like the descendants of the. So your descendants shall be like the stars uncountable.

[5:23] So now it's up to you. You can choose to believe God. And even in the face of impossibility. I'm talking to somebody. Even in the face of impossibility.

[5:37] You can choose to believe God. And Bible says that. That believing God was reckoned. Was accounted. Was credited to him.

[5:50] For righteousness. Oh. And God. And Abraham believed in the Lord. And God.

[6:02] Accounted it to him. For. You know. I know this is quite interesting. God. Accounted.

[6:12] That means that. Maybe that's not. An act. But God considered that. An action. He has done the right action. So it's like.

[6:23] You haven't written the exam. You haven't written the exam. You just stayed up all night. Intending to read. Write the exam. And. Your lecturer said.

[6:35] You couldn't write the exam. Don't worry. I've just considered. I've given you 100%. There was.

[6:47] What. Abraham should have done. Which. Was. To produce. A seed. For the wife. To conceive. You can't have a child.

[7:00] Without that. But God said. I'll consider your faith. As. All that. That brings a child. I know some of you.

[7:11] Have been got in it again. Let me put it in another way. Because some of you. Like romance. So let me put it. In a romantic language.

[7:23] Can I put it in a romantic language? It says that. You know. God can do a lot of things. God.

[7:35] One of the things. God is able to do. Is able to give. Life. To the dead. Amen. And.

[7:49] God. Not just that. And he also. Calls. Things. That be not. As though. You will. God.

[8:03] Is able. To give. Life. So in case. Something is dead. It's not a problem. For God. The case. Could have been finished.

[8:14] And that's that. But God said. That is not a problem. I can bring back the case. And tell it. In your favor. But one interesting thing.

[8:26] That makes it difficult. To work with God. If you are not. In the spirit. Is. The way he talks. The way he talks. He calls things.

[8:37] That be not. So now. How can you. Raise him with. Cover communication. With somebody. He is talking about. Your. Millionaires. Staters. Watch this.

[8:49] He is not saying. That I'm promising. You'll be a millionaire. He's not saying. I'm promising. You'll be a great evangelist. He's not saying. No. He's not saying. I'm promising. You'll be the biggest pastor.

[9:00] In your days. He's not saying that. He's not saying. I'm promising you. When he's talking to you. He'll be talking to you. As though. You are Billy Graham. Already. At the time.

[9:14] You are still. Believing God. To be able. To be totally free. From. Pornography. Yeah.

[9:28] You are believing God. Does that mean. God. Endors. Oh. You didn't understand. What I mean. You are believing God. To be totally free. From. Pornography. Fornication.

[9:41] You are believing God. Because this is troubling. And you are in God's presence. Fasting God. I know. I'm fine now. But sometimes. In three months. This thing will come back. I have this problem.

[9:54] And as you are talking. To God like that. He's also talking to you about. You know. When you get to Russia. The crusade. He's talking about. Things that be not.

[10:05] When God is dealing with you. He goes into your future. Pick the facts. From your future.

[10:16] And discuss. It as though. You have gotten there. So that means. It requires. A certain level. Of faith. To be able to.

[10:26] Flow with God. Other than that. In the natural mind. You will look stupid. In your own eyes. How can you just. Believe. That you will be.

[10:38] One of the princes. One of the princes. In UK. No. No. People will think. You have a problem. But you are authorized. To believe it. Once you know. God said it.

[10:50] So then. You can choose. To either. Operate. In natural realm. And feel like. It's not possible. But let's see. Or. You can switch.

[11:02] To the supernatural realm. And begin to work. In the confidence. Of what God is discussing. With you about. I know. I'm prophesying to somebody. So.

[11:17] To look at. What happened. Between Abraham. And God. Romantically. In Romans chapter 4. I mean. That's what I mean. By going to the book of Romans. When you look at.

[11:29] Romans chapter 4. Verse 17. As it is written. I have made you a father of many nations. Before God. New King James. In the presence of God.

[11:42] Whom he believes. That's God. Okay. Who gives life to the dead. And calls those things. Which do not exist. Not as though they will.

[11:56] As though they did. What do you mean by. It can happen for you. Not when God has said it. I see your story changing radically.

[12:18] I see your story changing supernaturally. And. Look at the verse 18. Verse 18 says that.

[12:31] Who? Abraham. Against who? Contrary. You. There's a way you can hope. This way. You know. But. He. Contrary to hope.

[12:42] It will be preposterous. For me to think. My hair. By tomorrow morning. Can look like this. No.

[12:54] It can. My hair can be like this. Because as for me. I know. I don't have it. The point is. Abraham. Against hope. Because God has said this.

[13:06] He concluded that. By tomorrow morning. His hair will be like this. Is that not foolishness? In human terms. That's foolishness.

[13:18] Contrary to hope. Believed. So that he became the father of many nations. What is the next statement? What was spoken?

[13:29] Do you remember that statement? In Genesis 15? That was what changed his story. All he did was to believe that statement.

[13:41] God told him. Let's go. Look at the stars. So shall thy seed be. So shall thy descendants.

[13:53] That's what God told him. That's all. This is how your descendants will be. And he believed that. And in the book of Romans. It has been referred to. That he believed and became a father of many nations.

[14:06] According to. According as it was spoken. So shall thy seed. He became a father of many nations. Based on that statement. I hope you did.

[14:19] No. Listen. He became a father of many nations. Not because of his relation with his wife. He became a father of many nations.

[14:30] Not because he was a man. Israel exists. Because Abraham believed that statement. That's all. The existence of Israel.

[14:41] Is predicated on that statement. So shall thy seed be. Five ways. Brought Israel into existence.

[14:53] So. Hezbollah cannot invalidate this. If. Syria's death womb. Abraham's death body.

[15:04] Couldn't stop. This word. Then what makes you think. Palestine. Hezbollah. Iran. Can stop Israel from existence. Israel exists. Israel exists.

[15:17] Israel exists. Because of this statement. Can I hear you say. So shall thy seed. One more time. So shall thy seed be. And this thing.

[15:29] Were not written for his sake. So Bible says that. Verse 19 says that. He. Did not waver in faith.

[15:40] Bible says that. Being not weak in faith. He considered not now. The problem was. If you are believing God. How about this condition in your body. He said. I don't care. I don't care. He said.

[15:55] I don't care. But the condition is not possible. I don't care. What God has said is possible. So I don't care. He wasn't weak in faith.

[16:07] That's why when the fasting started. I said to. Build your faith. Build your faith. Because. This is in. God is doing some. Unique. Transforming.

[16:17] Destiny transformations. And so release your faith. Abraham. Being not weak in faith.

[16:30] Being not weak in faith. He considered not his body. Two conditions. That were challenging his belief. His body. And his wife's body. Or his wife's womb. His body was dead.

[16:43] Not his human living was dead. His body. And then his wife's womb was dead. The womb that will. Carry the. Baby. Was dead.

[16:55] The body that will send. The seed. Into the womb. Was also. So. Seed is not going anywhere. Like. Like. When there's train strike. You can't say.

[17:06] I'm going by train. There's no train. So. Abraham. Had. Train strike. He can't send. Seed. To the wife's womb.

[17:18] Just in case. He tries to use. Some. IVF or something. When the seed arrives. It's dead. Like. Even when. Let's say. You decide to go on the train.

[17:29] And it moves. When you get to the station. The station is locked. It's closed. Two. Problems. By. Said. Because of what God. Has said.

[17:41] Body. I can't be bothered. Womb. I can't be bothered. God. I will believe. I see somebody.

[17:51] Receiving a change of status. Being. Not. Weak. In faith. May that be your testament. My sister.

[18:08] You are the one I'm talking to. My brother. Listen. Listen. You can't afford to be weak in faith. Because. Where you have got into. That seed.

[18:21] That miracle. That blessing. That must show up. That result. Is not. It must be from God. God. So. If it must be from God.

[18:32] Then. It must be. Faith. Generated. You can't grow weak in faith. These are times. You have to separate yourself. From all kinds of people. And friends.

[18:43] And people who just talk. And talk. And talk. And keep working. And building your faith. And building. And when they begin to show you. The negativity. Tell them. No problem. What God has said is true. What God has said is true.

[18:58] So. Being not weak in faith. He considered not his own body. Now that. When he was about 100 years old. Neither. Yet the deadness of Sarah. Look at it. The next verse.

[19:09] He did not stagger. At the promise of. Oh. He staggered not. At the promise of God. Through unbelief. But was strong. In faith. Giving glory. Conditions.

[19:20] Conditions had not changed. By was giving glory. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

[19:30] Just through. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Your blessings. Your blessings have been released. Your marriage has been endorsed in heaven. So shall it be.

[19:42] And he said that. He was giving glory. He did not stagger the promise of God. In other words. You know. There are times that he feel.

[19:52] How many of you are believing God for something. And there are times. You feel down. There are times you feel like this thing. That's where he says.

[20:03] He staggered not at the promise of God. Through unbelief. Unbelief will make you stumble. At what God has said. Unbelief is a very costly thing.

[20:16] But in fact. Bible calls it. An evil heart. Of unbelief. We read it recently. In Hebrews chapter 3 or so. An evil heart. Of unbelief. So unbelief is very bad.

[20:29] But Bible says that. He did not stagger at the promise of God. Through unbelief. But was strong in faith. Giving glory. Look at the 21. I'm going somewhere. I'll show you. And being fully persuaded.

[20:40] That what he had promised. He was awesome. Some of you have not realized that. I'm just giving you points.

[20:51] Steps. To releasing your miracle. It's all there. Number one step. Is you must have. Soul shall die city. There is no miracle.

[21:04] Preceded by God's word. If God's word doesn't precede. It can't be a miracle. Because God is God's not in it. It might be magic. Or voodoo. But for it to be a miracle.

[21:17] There must first be. Soul shall die city. Number two. For it to be a. For the miracle to actualize. Somebody. Must believe.

[21:27] Somebody. Somebody. Must believe what? Believe that. Soul shall die city. You can't believe. Because you feel like.

[21:38] It's going to work. No, no, no, no, no, no. Please, please. Don't believe. Because of how you feel. So sometimes you feel good. Then you feel. Wow. It's going to. Sometimes you feel bad. Okay. If the traffic light.

[21:50] Has not turned red. Before I go. That means that. It's going to work. Don't be using those things. Sometimes. Everything around you. Is discouraging. And you are down.

[22:01] But yet. Your faith is up. So. You must believe. And. Some of the things. You must consider.

[22:12] When you are believing. So that you can have. A. A buffer. Around your faith. You need some cushions.

[22:24] You need some. Um. Um. Systems. Faith supporting systems. It is. Based on. A certain insight.

[22:34] What are the faith supporting systems? The faith supporting systems. You know. You need to know. That God. Is able to give life. To the dead.

[22:46] Number two. You must also recognize. That God. Has. Has. The propensity. To call. Things. That be not. As though they were.

[22:57] So. When he calls. The things. That. As though they were. So. As long as you are concerned. They are not. But. As long as he is concerned. They are. So you have to shift.

[23:07] From the human point of view. To the divine point of view. That is all. That is all. Dealing with faith. Other than that. You will hear things. That will discourage you.

[23:18] And they say. Let's face. They will tell you. Let's face realities. Let's face realities. When they tell you. Let's face reality. Their reality. Is different from God's reality.

[23:29] Our human reality. Is different from God's reality. So number one. You need a social. Number two. You need.

[23:40] To believe it. Jesus said. Believe us now. That I. The son of man. Are able to do this. Yes. No. Do you believe it?

[23:50] So number two. Believe it. Number three. You have to make sure. Not to be weak. In faith. Faith.

[24:01] Can be strong. Today. Tomorrow. It can be weak. So put in. Systems. That. Keep your faith alive. What are the systems?

[24:13] Your exposure. Your association. Who you allow to discuss. That subject matter with you. Some people. Don't discuss.

[24:24] That subject matter with. They don't. Because when they open their mouth. They are generators of unbelief. Like that auntie. Many aunties.

[24:37] Tend to have. The negative. To say. Because. So long as they are concerned. You will not know. You are. Not having that breakthrough. Makes them look good.

[24:48] Because your mother. Seem to be getting it all. Together. Your failure. Is making them feel better. As well. Because their child. Has not. Been able to finish.

[24:58] Uni. Or marry. Or anything. So the fact that. Your own. Didn't work. They are happy. And they will find a nice way. Of saying that. You know what. These things happen like that. Forget it.

[25:08] Even if you don't get married. At least. You have your house. Don't settle for less. When you have God. So.

[25:23] Don't be weak in faith. Number four. Learn to give God glory. Don't wait. For the results to show up.

[25:34] Before you sing. Sing. While the result is on the way. Glory be to God.

[25:46] In the. When. When the result. Hasn't come yet. When you are in pain. When you don't feel well. When you feel weak.

[25:56] You can still be saying. The Lord is my strength. And my song. He has become. My salvation. Learn to sing.

[26:06] To his glory. Learn to constantly. Give him the credit. As though it has already happened. There are times you feel sad. Because of your marital situation.

[26:19] It's human. It's not a sign of faithlessness. It's a sign of humanity. There are times you feel discouraged. It's not because you don't have faith. It's because you are human.

[26:30] But when the humanity kicks in. Let spirituality override the humanity. The Bible said. David encouraged himself in the Lord. Get some scriptures.

[26:41] Play some messages. Remember. Rehearse past victories. Rehearse other people's testimonies. And remember. Remember. The soul shall thy seed be. And say to yourself. So shall my seed be.

[26:54] If God said it. So shall it be. If he said it. So shall it be. Speak faith into your life. Encourage yourself in the Lord. So that you will be strong.

[27:06] Give praise. And then after giving praise. Don't stagger at the promise of God. Some of you. After you shared your testimony. Rather things changed.

[27:17] Do not stagger. At the promise of God. Do not stagger. At the promise of God. Do not stagger. At the promise of God. Stay in the territory of Abraham.

[27:30] Stay in the company of Abraham. Stay in the zone of Abraham. Abraham staggered not. At the promise of God. But was strong in faith.

[27:41] Giving glory. Steps. Master key steps. To generating a miracle.

[27:52] Anytime. Look at the next verse. He was so persuaded. That if God said it.

[28:03] No problem. When the believers knock at the door. He goes and opens the door. What do you want? We are coming to take some stuff.

[28:14] No. God said. It's paid. So go back. Shut the door. It's okay. We are going. If God said it. You have to believe.

[28:29] Be persuaded. That what he had promised. He is also able to perform it. That's it. Look at the next verse. God said.

[28:39] He was made. And therefore. It was input. You know when you transfer. Input. Imputed. So made that. An input was made.

[28:51] Not impact. Not impact. This is input. It's like an account. God credited his account. God. So.

[29:03] In Genesis. It says that. It was accounted to him. But in Romans. It says that. It okay. Which NIV said. It was credited to him.

[29:14] It was credited to him. They transferred. God wired credit. Of righteousness. To his account. What did he do? The steps I'm telling you.

[29:26] The steps I'm telling you. He did these steps. And God said. Kai. Magadasha. Magadasha. But why are you telling us this?

[29:42] Pastor. Why are you telling us this? Because. The Bible said something. In the next verse. Now. It was written.

[29:53] It was not written. For his sake alone. Aha. So you and I. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. So you can also have that credit.

[30:12] God is doing some bank transfers. God is transferring. Some substances into people.

[30:22] Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. Aha. here to submit our account details for a heavily transaction okay let's look at account that let's look at the best 24 again now the new king james please now it was not written for his sake alone that it was imputed for imputed to him look at the next verse are you ready for this but also god is doing bank transfers and all you got to do is to submit your account once you submit your account engage in the steps and god will credit it is the credit of god in your account that gives you that kind of testimony is even not necessarily so much a pastor's prayer that prayer if you can engage your heart and put your faith in god who answers prayers then you have changed the game and so when you submit your account and you press you press all these buttons now what happens you when god credits your account now when does when do you start doing the shopping with the account now something must show up account need to be credited just like the way pregnancy happens it's like deposit and then nine months later you see a human being in the same way god credits your account account tonight it's not tomorrow why are you saying that you forgot where we started from he said we all told social at ICB and he believed and it was account at the time he believed that was when the transfer happened god told him social at ICB he believed it was accounted to him for righteousness now credit has taken place what's next nine months later what's next nine months later genesis chapter 21 verse 1 we are reading from verse 1 to 5 and the lord ah you mean Sarah

[33:24] Sarah Sarah excuse me people heard that Sarah is Sarah also among the pregnant women it can never happen it can never happen they said it can somebody said i if this happens i i will never eat again the lord did talk to Sarah he visited Sarah as he has said and he did why was it why is god doing all this thing because of the credit that has entered Abraham's account so now god cannot rest he has to go into action because the credit has already been taken it's like you are expecting some company to send some staff or come and do something and they say once you wire everything you know everything will be the building will start for their business and everything has been wired so they start so they start so Abraham believed god it was credited so the thing hit his account god started so that's what necessitated this

[34:29] Genesis chapter 15 verse 6 is what produced Genesis 21 verse 1 yeah what does 15 6 say 15 6 and it was credited to him as righteousness that one is what gave birth to Genesis chapter 21 verse 1 God visited Sarah as he has spoken look at the verse 2 for Sarah conceived and bare Abraham a son in his old age at the same time which God has spoken to him what look at the next verse verse and Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him whom Sarah built to him Isaac the next verse and Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old as God had come on look at the next verse haha and Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born unto you let's go verse 6 this is where I am looking

[35:39] Sarah said Sarah said did you realize wait verse 1 said Sarah verse 2 Sarah conceived then brought Abraham in the picture verse 3 Abraham verse 4 Abraham verse 5 Abraham verse 6 Sarah said verse 8 God has ahhhhhhh this one is not faith laughter it's not faith it was it's a faith laughter it doesn't happen but I still thank God that's faith you haven't seen it this one is it has happened It has happened and the thing is making me, I can't stop laughing.

[36:38] What does verse 7 say? And she said, who would have said unto Abraham that Sarah would have given children? Ah. For I have given, can you imagine?

[36:52] NIV, NIV. Who would have said? She added, who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? How? Yet, yet, yet I have born in.

[37:08] I see God visiting you. I see God visiting you. As you release your faith in Jesus.

[37:20] As you put your faith in the Lord. I see God turning it around for you. Abraham was not weak in faith. Verse 19.

[37:31] Being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body, nor did he consider, which was now dead, being 100 years old. Nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.

[37:43] But he, he started not at the promise of God. And Bible says that, not the promise of God, but he was strong in faith.

[37:56] So sometimes, he went for medical checkup, and he said, oh Sarah, now the thing is gone. He said, nothing is, there's no point. There's no point.

[38:07] And he goes to people's naming ceremony, and things are happening, and there's no point. But anytime he felt low, this didn't know what he does. Bible says, give him glory.

[38:20] It's always good to, sometimes note, in times like this, things that you hear God speak to you.

[38:30] It's called, so shall thy see be. And it's good to note them down. It's not only the preaching, teaching you write down. Prophetic, personal prophetic statements.

[38:44] Document them. One day, many years later, you never know, your child, your husband, your wife, somebody will take it and say, ah, he wrote this thing down.

[38:58] He said, ah, so this thing's where? Then, then, it will come across like, it wasn't for your sake you wrote it, but also for that person in the time.

[39:13] God is putting laughter in the mouth of many years. In the name of Jesus. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry.
