How to Achieve Hard Goals like Abraham

Do you want something that seems like a hard goal to achieve?

Would you love to have something that seems impossible to get?

If you do, learn from Abraham how to achieve hard goals because he ended up with a child even though he was very old and his wife Sarah was an old woman. 

In the natural this seemed an impossible goal but Abraham and Sarah did achieve it and you can also achieve humanly impossible goals by doing the following: 

Choose to Have Faith 

The Bible tells us that Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrew 11:1)

Therefore, decide to have faith by feeling the substance of the things you are hoping for and seeing with your mind's eye the things not yet visible with your physical eyes.

So if your hard goal is to get a baby, you have to feel the presence of the baby in your life and see yourself having a baby.

Choose to Have Faith in God's Word

Having a child was something that seemed impossible for Abraham to achieve in the natural because of his age and his wife's age. HOWEVER, Abraham chose to have faith in God's Word.

We know this because the Bible tells us that Abraham did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but he was strengthened in faith and praised God while being fully convinced that what God had promised He was also able to perform. (Romans 4:19-22) 

So, go through the Bible and find Scriptures and Promises of God that support getting the thing that you want.

Then decide to wholeheartedly believe those Scriptures without taking into consideration the facts about your situation.

Choose to believe WHAT THE PROMISES OF GOD SAY instead of choosing to believe WHAT THE FACTS SAY about your situation.

This is because Abraham did not consider his own body already dead since he was around 100 years old or Sarah's barren womb. (Romans 4:19-22) 

All that Abraham considered was God's Word and He was fully convinced that God would perform it.

As a result of choosing to believe God's Word and choosing to believe that God could do what He said, Abraham was able to get a son with Sarah in their old age. 

Therefore if you want to achieve a big, hard goal, decide to believe God's Word wholeheartedly instead of believing the facts of your situation which say you cannot achieve the goal. 

Even if the reality of your situation tells you that you are as good as dead (totally useless) and that the people who are supposed to help you are barren (poor and unproductive) or impotent (weak and powerless), decide to believe God's Word when it says you can achieve the goal.

Do not let your faith waver because of your limitations for Abraham did not let his 100 year old body shake his faith in God.

Do not also let your faith waver because of the limitations of your helpers for Abraham did not let Sarah's barren womb shake his faith in God.

Emulate Abraham and hope even when all odds are against you for the Bible tells us that Contrary to hope, he believed in hope. (Romans 4:18) 

Abraham was able to hope even when there was no reason to hope because He was strengthened in faith. (Romans 4:20)

He was also praising God for it is written that he was Giving glory to God. (Romans 4:20)

Consequently, Abraham Became the father of many nations according to what was spoken. (Romans 4:18)
