Daring The Impossible for God

Daring the impossible is nothing new. A few men have been known to have a knack for daring the impossible. Do a quick check on most inventors and you’ll see men and women who believed they could achieve what others felt were not possible.
Electricity, the Telephone, Airplanes, just to mention a few. The list goes on and on, virtually all that we enjoy today was once thought to be impossible. The call here is however to dare the impossible for God. People attempt impossible feats for a variety of reasons; some do so for recognition while others dare the impossible just to prove they can.
The challenge before us here is to dare the impossible for God. This requires faith, not just faith but what I call blind faith. This is the kind of faith that Abram (Abraham) exhibited when God asked him to leave his father’s house and his family to a land He (God) will show him and Abraham obeyed even though he didn’t know where he was going (Gen 12:1). Abraham also displayed this kind of Faith again when he offered his only son Isaac as a sacrifice in obedience to God. (Gen 22:3), Abraham actually believed that even if he offered Isaac that God could still raise him up. (Heb 11: 17-19).
What would you dare if you had a 100% assurance of success? We need to have the kind of Faith the blind man had who obeyed an instruction from our lord and saviour Jesus Christ to go and wash in the pool of Siloam even though he couldn’t see. (John 9:7). The blind man could have insisted on his eyes being opened first so as to enable him find his way to the pool. He couldn’t see but he made his way to the pool. That’s Blind Faith.
Until you can become blind to the obstacles and difficulties that others see, you may never dare the impossible for God. When the entire army of Israel was seeing a giant called Goliath the young man David could only see an uncircumcised philistine standing before him. (1 Sam 17:36).
When King Saul, Ahiah the priest and the entire army of Israel (about six hundred men) were camped away from the Philistine garrison, Jonathan and his armour bearer charged into the camp of the philistine. (1 Sam 14:6) What would make two men to dare a thing that an entire army would not? Blind Faith!
When Moses and the children of Israel where trapped between the Red sea and pharaohs army, on their way out of Egypt, God simply asked Moses to command the people to move forward. God demanded blind faith. (Exo 14:15). Don’t allow the challenges and difficulties you’re seeing to paralyze you, move forward.
All through scriptures you see men and women who did great exploits for God via blind Faith. Esther, Joshua, Gideon, David, Jehoshaphat, Elijah and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Himself. When our Lord Jesus Christ stood at the tomb of Lazarus, they laid the facts before him. Lazarus has been dead and buried for four days, right now he should be stinking. But Christ was obviously blind to the facts. He simply went ahead and commanded Lazarus to come forth.
Ours is a generation with so much knowledge, we know a million reasons why we can’t do the things that God has commanded us to do, but those that God is searching for right now are the few who would move in obedience to God even when they have no clue as to where the journey will lead them-those who would exhibit blind faith.
In John 14:12, our Lord Jesus Christ said “Verily, Verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my father”
You can’t do greater works unless you dare greater works, you will never do the impossible for God until you take the first step and dare the impossible for God.
God requires Blind Faith from us in this final hour. I dare you to dare the impossible for God.
A.O
