THE LAW OF CONFESSION

THE LAW OF CONFESSION

Romans 4:17 ¶ (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

We have to strive to get everyone talking faith; and not doubt and unbelief. The subtleness of unbelief and doubt can be very difficult to detect. In our bid to see mighty things happen in our ministry, we have to watch our lips and thinking closely. Our confessions must line up with the word; it must produce optimism and encouragement.

Before God could grant Abraham the promise child, God had to change the confession of Abraham. Abraham was first called Abram which means an “exalted father”. He was just an exalted father with no influence. Then God gave him a new name, Abraham, which means “father of multitude”. Now the next time someone asked Abraham, what is your name? His reply was, “father of multitude”. Wow! What a name. What God actually did was to change Abraham’s confession from an “exalted father” to “father of many nations”.

Yet when God changed his name, Abraham had no child from Sarah – the promise child was to come from Sarah and not Hagar. God was teaching Abraham to call those things that are not as though they were. Imagine Sarah calling Abraham, “father of many nations” food is ready. Probably the neighbors might even think they were going nuts. But that’s the way of faith – it does not make sense to the carnal and natural man. As time went on, Abraham got himself convinced that he was the “father of multitude” through persistent confession. He was fully persuaded that God will fulfill His promise; the promise child was born and the rest is history.

Today, Abraham is not only the father of the Jews, but all born again believers around the world. Glory to God! Faith always works! You have to start calling yourself what you want to become before you will see it come to pass. But what most folks want to do is see it first before they call it a name. You have to name your miracle first, then, you will see it come to pass. This is the law of confession. Praise God!
