THOSE SAYING "SHALL I STILL HAVE PLEASURE" - I Still Have Pleasure Series 004
Genesis 18:12, KJV
"Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"
There are those saying, "shall I still have pleasure?" Many there be who having received a word of prophecy are in doubt because they are naturally out of the race. Such is the case of Sarah.
After Abraham had shown generosity to the divine emissaries he called into his home, God gave him a Word.
Genesis 18:10, KJV
"And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him."
This became an impossibility naturally because of what this verse says below.
"11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women."
So naturally, it was impossible for a child to be born in that state both Abraham and Sarah were. Abraham is very old and Sarah has ceased doing menstruation. So, where will a child come from? As Sarah herself puts it, "shall I still have pleasure?" Since it has ceased to be with her the way it is with every woman, she doubts the possibility of ever being able to conceive. She shifts the dynamics to, "shall I still have pleasure?'
We should enquire, "have pleasure for what?" Obviously for sex. She was saying, "When last did I have sex? I don't even get gyrated or moved towards that again. I've lost the desire for sex - the only way getting a child could happen naturally."
That was the question she posed and heaven heard. According to God's Word, what happened was that she carried a son at that time of the year as said by the mouth of the Lord.
This is what the Lord is saying. Are you there saying, "Can I still walk? Can I still use my leg? Can I still do this or that? Shall I still have pleasure at 90? Can I still have the libido or exercise the potency of a man after a damaged backbone?"
Stop seeing your case as closed. Whenever the Lord appears or speaks on a matter, He shifts and reprints the affairs of men. I don't know the specific thing God did for Abraham and Sarah but I sure know that God gave Abraham the strength to still sleep with Sarah and God in no doubt revived Sarah to have the pleasure of a young lady. The Bible says, "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb..." (Romans 4:19, KJV).
God can restore you. He restored Sarah. He did a work in her life that restored libido and sexual interest/desire back to her life. This way, the weak can say she is strong. This way, the dead can say she is alive. That is the kind of work God is doing in your life today. What is dead is being called back to work. Impossibilities are being threshed. God is saying, "At old age, you won't lose your vitality. You will still be strong, able and agile." For all those aged men and women fretted with weaknesses of old age, God is moving to heal you now. Be healed. Be restored. Receive your vitality and strength again. Have pleasure and take interest in life once more. Be young again at heart and in your body.
PRAYER: I shall not be weak both at heart and in my body. God moves to heal my weaknesses and sicknesses. I retain pleasure both to pursue my dreams and to exercise myself physically. I shall not be crippled or damaged in any way.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Genesis 8:1-10:32; Matthew 4:12-25; Psalm 4:1-8; Proverbs 1:20-23
