When The Odds Are Stacked Against You

When The Odds Are Stacked Against You

Title: When the odds are stacked against you 

Are you facing a seemingly impossible situation where the odds are heavily stacked against you? Perhaps it’s a situation so dire that everyone, from experts to those around you, are saying you’re doomed to fall or fail? You’d be wise to chew on this portion of Scripture which Pastor Lian shared on Sunday.

Romans 4:18-21 (NIV)

Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been asked to him, “So shall your offspring be.” Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead - since he was about a hundred years old - and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

“Against all hope” - In Singlish, this is called “super jialat,” or in Hokkien, “bo kiu liao,” meaning “no hope already.” But did Abraham give up on what God has promised him, which was that he would be a father of many nations? No! The Bible says “Against all hope, Abraham IN HOPE BELIEVED - AND SO became the father of many nations. 

Pastor Lian shared that Abraham did not dispute the facts that he was already a hundred years old and his wife Sarah was barren with “a shelf life that was supposed to be over.” Eventually, Sarah birthed forth Isaac. What we can learn here is to face the facts in whatever situation we are in - but we don’t have to allow the facts or odds to affect our hope in a God who does not disappoint (Rom 5:5).

Our ministry leader added that the Bible says, “Faith the substance of things hoped for (Heb 11:1). You must have hope then you can have faith. Hope is not denying the facts. Abraham accepted the fact he was 100 years old. It’s true but it is not the truth. The truth is found in God’s Word which says, what God promised He is also able to perform! That’s Bible truth!

Want more Bible truths? Ephesians 3:20 says, “God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all you can ask or think!” And Romans 8:28 says God will make all things - good and bad - work together for your good!

AMAZING! The Book of Revelation is so alive!

This is Why Everyone is Googling "Euphrates River"

What do you think is making the noises in the bizarre footage I showed you?

The Euphrates river is dying up, many Christians are keeping their eyes on the Euphrates as the river is nearly dry and there is an Bible verse linked to the Euphrates regarding 4 fallen Angels once it's dried up.

Peaceful Acoustic Worship! 4 Hours of the BEST HYMNS of all time played on Guitar

Blessed Assurance and 80 other popular hymns played by Christian fingerstyle guitarist Josh Snodgrass. Let the peace of God renew your spirit as you listen to this worship playlist. This music is ideal for rest, relaxation, Bible study, prayer time and meditation on God's Word. My goal for this music is that it would bring some peace into this chaotic world and remind you of the faithfulness of God. These songs are rich in meaning and I hope they are an encouragement to you! If you are new to my channel, my name is Josh Snodgrass and I'm the guy playing the guitar. I present this music as a form of worship with the hope that you will be encouraged to go deeper in your walk with God. Jesus Christ is the Messiah who came to offer the world the hope of forgiveness for our sins and new life in him. He's the Son of God and he came to earth and took on human flesh, living as one of us. He didn't sin at all, and He is completely perfect. Because of His perfection, He was worthy to give His life on the cross as a sacrifice for the rest of us who have fallen short. He rose again in victory over sin and death and came back to life on the 3rd day. When we repent from our sins and turn to follow Jesus as Lord and Savior in faith, we will be completely forgiven by God for all of our sins. He offers us a complete pardon, trading his record for ours. He takes our sin and offers us His righteousness. Place your faith in Jesus and follow Him as He directs you through the Bible and the Holy Spirit. If you would like to learn to play my music on guitar, get a CD or mp3 download or book me to do a concert at your church, please visit my website: https://www.joshsnodgrass.com
