WHY DO YOU THINK IT INCREDIBLE THAT GOD SHOULD DO THE IMPOSSIBLE?
I was cleaning up when I began my contemplation which almost got me flogged. I had asked, "nowadays, how could one get such hectares of land (like 100 in one place) where a city would be built?" I concluded, "they've owned and purchased all such available quantity of land." Just then, God came out of the blues. You remember as Abraham was about slaughtering Isaac, a voice came from heaven that instant to stop him (Gen.22:9-12). That was exactly what happened to me. That voice disclosed in this manner. "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?" I knew it was a direct quotation from the Bible and it means, "why do you have the thinking that a thing is unachievable, unbelievable or that it's impossible to be done? What if God is involved? Will it still be beyond belief or be too implausible to be true? Immediately, I sat right and I knew that was God cautioning me from disbelieving in possibilities and my prophecies. Believe it, I apologized. I said, "sorry sir." Then, I took dressing.
God illustrated to me further. He showed me the pastor of the largest church and said, "when I promised him a city, were the lands not all taken then? Were men not as covetous then as they are now? Do you think it would have been better thinking that way in his time or making you such promise and delivery then than now?" I had thought so. I had thought to be able to have such expanse of land that could accommodate a city of people and civilization (with churches, schools, banks, shopping malls, stadiums, parks, gardens, museums, just mention it), one must have owned it by now or probably since. He furthered "was land not as costly for those who wanted it at that time as it is now? Are you claiming it is easier making money then than making now for purchase? Have I even told you you'll use your money to buy me such land? Was it not some people who owned and possessed those lands at that time? How come he now has them for a city of the Lord?" After all these confronts, I was in agreement!
He proceeded, "I willed Canaan to Israel but hope you remember there were dwellers there? Hope you know it was actually not Israel's land from the start but I made some wicked idolatrous nations holders until Israel was ready and mature for its possession." I nodded to that also. Then, He went back to ask me, "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you then that I [God] should raise the dead? (Acts 26:8).
"That God should raise the dead" there means "that God should do the impossible or that which is too good to be believed." I couldn't talk and He knew I had acknowledged my fault. I took my words back so it would be unto me according to His word, mind and prediction. I won't doubt. I'll be Mary at heart to see the prophesied things that await their times. He had opened the Bible further to enlighten me by quoting me these verses below.
Job 28:7-8, KJV
"7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: 8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it."
God told me, "there are still reserved properties, virgin lands, unexplored arables despite the covetousness of men to own properties here and there and claim it all for themselves." I still have new things to do and offer. They are "eyes have not seen, ears have not heard and matters that have not entered into any heart (I Cor.2:9)." However, they're only prepared for those who love me - true followers, labourers and servicemen and women." All in all, I was humbled and quietened.
People, as humans, we're men of desires. We have an endless "longitudinal" and "latitudinal" list of what we want to experience or achieve. However, we have reasons enough as to why each can't be achieved though we wanted them achieved. We're not to be blamed expressly, it is because we're limited in ourselves. Our frame is dust and so our contemplation and thinking at times may be doubtful and way earthly: void of any divine sense or revelation. God is saying I should ask you, "wetin you think say be hard like rock which you don call mission impossible because of some reasons? E said make you no commonise Him, E go do am for you." What baffles you don't roughen Him up. Mountains are not different from valleys to Him. The night is as day to Him. It is we humans who do classifications based on evidences we have found and named tangible. Those evidences may include "doctors' reports, human assessment of one's capabilities etc." So, having gone round this way, we draw a line, shut the door at ourselves and say, "that one is too high, marvelous, too important, really exotic and unimaginably dope to be fulfilled." At times, you may say, "those who are qualified for such life or extravagance are the heroes of faith or millionaires." You see, we call it "incredible, too shocking to occur, outrightly impossible or too high to touch." Once you get squashed into this form of thinking, you stop dreaming. Once dreams stop, hope and faith wanes to drop dead. Then, you stop living the non friction life that believes nothing is INCREDIBLE, SURPRISING, SHOCKING or TOO BIG for God to deliver.
The Lord is on me. He's heavy on me and I could sense Him. He is asking me to ask you to make a list of all the things that you have classified as "incredible or impossible" and attach their "WHYs" to it. God said, "He wants to glory over those WHYs which you thought could hinder Him from delivering answers to you just like He gloried both over the horse and its rider at the Red Sea." He said "He wanted to see them." They're pretty light in His sight. Paul asked those present that day as he tables his matter before the council, "do you think it incredible (unbelievable, big, gigantic, magnanimous, impossible) that God should raise the dead? Do you think you are not born for some testimonies? There must be a why for this kind of thinking or belief and as I hear, I speak to you that "God is taking them over." He's enough for them and He'll wrap Himself round them all. That is God's own doing - to do the incredible, to do the impossible stemming from human judgement. With God, no mission is impossible. He will go and come. You, just hang on in faith. You, hold your peace. Sit at His right hand (of believing, observing and partnering on and on) and see Him to your face realize all those impossibilities which you've believed are too high to be given.
I ask conclusively, "Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead (do the impossible)?" What are your reasons? Is it scarcity of fund or health issue? Please, why do you think A or B is impossible? God is glorying over all your reasons. Did he not consume the sacrifice, the stones, wood and leak the water too (I Kings 18:38). Nothing shall be spared. He'll go round. I call Him Eliminator quick quick. Here, He is at work. Let Jesus be glorified in your situation. He has not stopped being beautiful for every situation. Believe it. It is not incredible with God to deliver you that impossibility.
