Why say this is impossible?

     Have you not heard before that with God all things are 

possible? Jesus looked at them and clearly said "with man, this is 

impossible but with God, all things are possible"(Matt 19:26) 'all' 

literally means 'all'. Jesus did not say "with God, some things are 

possible". Jesus also did not say "with God, most things are 

possible". He clearly used the word "all". Why then do we keep 

doubting God's capabilities?  The main reason we say "it is 

impossible" is because we are still trying to use our mere human 

brain to understand the process of God's supernatural power. God's 

power is called 'supernatural' for a reason. If we want to 

understand supernatural miracles done by God, then we might as 

well have supernatural minds like God. Creation itself is proof of 

the creator. In other words, the existence of the world itself is real 

evidence that God exists; else who created the world? So if you 

deny that something is possible just because you can't understand 

it, then you should deny the creation and existence of the world; 

which is impossible because the world actually exists. For 

those(my atheists friends) who deny the existence of the world 

claiming that the world took place as a result of science, my 

question is "can you explain how science created the world?" And 

even if you can explain that, do you honestly understand how it 

happened? My guess is that your answer is "No". I believe no one 

in his right mind actually understands how science could have 

created the universe. So the bottom line is that the creation of the 

world is a mystery, a mystery which christians will call a miracle. 

If the creation is a mystery, then nothing is impossible with the 

creator(God the father).

*With God vs to God: 

      Now, I would love for you to please pay attention to what I am 

about to say. Permit me to address another issue which pastor 

Benny Hinn once explained. The question he once asked was "why 

does the Bible not say 'to God, all things are possible' but it instead 

says ''with God, all things are possible"? That is a very smart 

question and this was his explanation. 'To' will mean that God can 

do all things by himself alone. 'With' will mean that we need to be 

with God in order for all things to come true. It is but obvious that 

"to God, all things are possible" because He created the universe 

alone(one trinity). So, in order to experience miracles in our lives, 

we need to be with God; because with Him, miracles in our lives 

will take place; but to Him, His miracles take place to and around 

Him alone. That is because we don't have supernatural powers and 

so we need to connect with His supernatural powers for the extra 

ordinary things to take place in our lives. Therefore, to God, all 

things are possible to God alone but with God, all things are 

possible with us(who are connected with Him). I am sorry for the 

little complication there but I hope you understood the main point. 

We must always keep in touch with God to experience all what He 

promised us(love, peace of mind, joy, success, hope, resurrection, 

eternal life in Heaven, etc.)

      Nothing, I repeat 'nothing' at all is impossible with God(Lk 

1:37). You know, sometimes we think we have fully understood all 

scriptures in the Bible merely because we have read the Bible over 

and over. But the truth is that there is more understanding to every 

verse in the Bible, more than you know.  Every statement has more 

than one meaning behind it, and it is only a matter of time before 

you discover the other meanings. Have you not noticed that every 

time you read a familiar story or watch a familiar movie, you find 

out something new? Have you not also noticed that every time you 

read a verse in the Bible and meditate on it, you discover a new 

meaning to it? That is called 'spiritual revelation'. We think we 

know the Bible but there is a difference between 'mere knowledge' 

and 'spiritual revelation'. Spiritual revelation often comes with 

meditation and a willingness to know more. When you think about 

someone over and over, it is called ‘worry’ but if you think about 

God’s word over and over, it is called 'meditation'. Therefore we 

need to meditate on biblical phrases to understand the numerous 

meanings behind those phrases. Therefore, if you meditate on (Lk 

1:37), which clearly says “for with God nothing shall be 

impossible”, you will discover that ‘nothing’ in here means 

absolutely nothing on earth. 'Nothing' as in no impossibility with 

financial difficulty, no impossibility with finding a good spouse, 

no impossibility with having a child(barren or not), no 

impossibility with getting a good job, no impossibility with getting 

healed from a terminal sickness(cancer or HIV), no impossibility 

with changing people’s lives, no impossibility with a peace of 

mind, no impossibility with joy and happiness. No impossibility at 

all. Nothing literally means 'nothing'.  The angel Gabriel told 

Mary(mother of Jesus) that nothing is impossible with God(Lk 

1:37). Mary got pregnant without having anything to do with her 

husband Joseph. How do you explain that? Is it humanly possible 

for this to happen? Our problem is that we always want to use our 

human brains to understand God's supernatural ways. Hey, I need 

to tell you man, it is killing us. We need to change our way of 

thinking(mind set) and start believing in this supernatural 

being(God). If you sincerely believe that God loves you(1Jn 4:8) 

and that He decides your destiny(including the destiny of the 

world), then you would know that all prosperity meant to happen 

in your life is decided by the same God. 

*Just believe it is well. 

     The main reason we give up is because we don’t want to 

believe. We refuse to believe that God is the God of all 

possibilities. We always want to find every natural occurrences to 

suit the human mind. That will never work. We are very 

familiar with the story of Jesus walking on water right? (Matt 

14:26). Now, because humans are always looking for a world 

explanation to suit nature, some scientists would now say that salty 

water can carry weight and therefore, the water must have been 

very salty for Jesus to be able to walk on it. If anyone believes in 

that, I would like to see someone walk on water. LOL. The bottom 

line is that we need to just believe in God and stop questioning His 

power. Searching for unnecessary proof of God's power only 

creates more doubts in our minds. We keep blaming God for not 

helping us to believe in Him. The truth is that we are the main 

problem. We keep opening the door wide open for the devil to 

come into our lives and cause more doubts and confusion. We are 

the problem because we have refused to just believe. We wouldn’t 

lose anything by just believing. Just believe in God and never give 

up on Him. 

      My cousin(Sean Akene) once told me that his teacher in class 

told him that it is much better to believe in God and end up finding 

out that He didn’t exist at all; rather than not believing in Him at 

all and finding out in the end that He actually exists. Isn't that 

smart? If you believed in God and ended up finding out that 

He didn’t exist, you have absolutely nothing to lose(besides 

needless pride) but if you never believed in God and ended up 

finding out that He actually existed, then you are in serious trouble 

because you will be in serious regrets. Now tell me, isn’t this 

logical enough? We keep questioning in doubt as follows: “but 

how?”, "how is that even possible?”, “how can I get out 

of this mess?”, “how can I have kids when I am barren?”,  “how 

can any man or woman ever look at me when I am so ugly?”, “how 

can I get my life together after all these mistakes I did?”, “how can 

I get this job when I don’t have the qualifications for it?”, “how 

can I ever win this championship when I am naturally an 

unfortunate person?”. Ladies and gentlemen, please, nothing at all 

is impossible with God. Just believe! Just believe! Just believe! It 

is well with you in the name of our Lord and savior Jesus. If any 

body tells you that there is no hope for you to get out of the trouble 

you find yourself in, smile and tell that person “I believe in 

Jesus”. If anyone tells you that you can’t be the lawyer you have 

always dreamed to be, smile and tell that person “I believe in 

Jesus”. If anyone tells you that there is no hope in finding your 

husband or wife, smile and tell that person “I believe in Jesus”. 

If anyone tells you that you will never live to see another happy 

day, smile and tell him what??? 

*We think God is not that smart:

       One of the reasons we give up in life is because we think that 

God is not smart enough to take us out of our trouble. Let us use a 

little mathematical basic reasoning.
     
       We know fully well that God formed humans from dust right? 

(Gen 2:7). So technically speaking, in order to compare with God, 

we should be able to use the soil to create a human body right? If 

you think you are as 100% as smart as God, then you should be 

able to form 100% of a human body from dust. If you think you are 

as 50% as smart as God, then you should be able to form 50% of a 

human body. If you think you are even 1% as smart as God, then 

you should able to create just 1% of a human body part; may be a 

piece of hair. Why even go to that extent? Let me go to as little as 

animals. Can any human being create just 1% of an animal body 

part out of nothing? Obviously not! Please don't mention 'cloning' 

because cloning is not the same as creating. I am not against 

cloning but we can't dare compare our little science skills with 

God’s power?  The truth is that no one can clone out of nothing. 

You need a substance from which the cloning will take place and 

that substance is the same substance that was created by the 

unshakable shaker God almighty. God created the universe out of 

nothing. No one can create a simple building out of nothing, right? 

So, having all this knowledge about God in mind is solid reason for 

you to completely rely on him. He who created the human body in 

his image is alive and has plans for you. 

       We know very well that most philosophers’ aim is to disprove 

the existence of God. The famous saint by name Thomas Aquinas 

described God as the unmoved mover. In his book “the argument 

from motion”, he explains that everything on earth is moved by 

something else. He further explained his theory as follows: 

Assuming that there are many different forces on earth and one 

force causes another force to move. When force A causes force B 

to move, then another force called force C would cause force B to 

move, then another force called force D will cause force C to 

move, and another force called force E would cause force D to 

move. This chain goes on and on until we get to the final force 

which is unmovable. This force is God's supernatural force which 

can not be explained by science. If you sincerely believe in this 

unmoved creator, then you will never give up on him.  

       Guys, God really loves us. His love is beyond any human 

explanation. God loves us so much that he sent his only one 

begotten son Jesus to go through that pain on our behalf (see Jn 

3:16). Can you send your own son to die for others? Better yet, 

would you sacrifice your child or sibling or any loved one to die 

for the sake of many? I believe the answer to that is 'no'.  But guess 

who did it? God the father. While we were yet sinners, Jesus died 

for us (Rom 5:8). How much more love do we need to accept that 

God loves us so much and is with us? Therefore, my dear friends, 

please do not give up on God but rely on him because he loves us 

so much and with him, all is well. 

                            

*For losing love ones: 

      We all have dear people in our lives whom we want by our side 

at all times. Such people generally fall under the category ‘family’ 

implying that even your best friend or co-worker could be 

considered your family because of how dear he or she is to you. 

That is perfectly understandable but if we have lost any of such 

people, we can’t hold on to that. It is okay to mourn and miss your 

loved ones but please do not give up on your self because of your 

loss. Let Jesus be your comforter. In fact, be rest assure that your 

lost one is having a very good time in Heaven with Jesus, receiving 

a peace of mind which he/she most likely was not receiving on 

earth.  Therefore, on the one hand, we can mourn for our 

loss(because we miss them) but on the other hand, we should 

rejoice for their gain(because they are resting with joy). 

       Permit me to quote this biblical verse and elaborate on it. 

“….believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and 

thy house”(Acts 16:31). What happened here is that Paul and Silas 

were in jail and the jailors came to them and asked what they 

could do to be saved? And Paul and Silas made it clear to them 

that they should believe in the Lord and that if they did so, their 

family or household would be saved as well. So I tell you my dear 

brethren, as long as you believe, your lost family is save and 

resting in Heaven. Many at times, we feel like letting every thing 

go and giving up on life because of the dear loved ones we have 

lost but there is one thing we need to bear in mind: it may be an 

earthly loss but it is definitely a Heavenly gain. Your family is 

save in heavenly places, okay? So please cheer up and do not give 

up on your life dreams or on others. Let us always keep in mind 

that there are so many people out there who depend on us in one 

way or another. So when we for any minute think of giving up, let 

us be rest assure that we are not just giving up on ourselves but 

also on the people depending on us. For example you may be a 

huge source of joy to your earthly father. Every time he sees you 

happy, he is also happy. So when you decide to give up on yourself 

and feel sad at all times, you are also killing your father’s joy. 

      Also, assuming you are a doctor or nurse and you had a patient 

with whom you were really close. One day this patient loses his 

life and then you feel really bad to the point of wanting to give up. 

It is only humane(and okay) for you to mourn and feel bad but 

please don’t give up on your career because there are many 

patients out there who depend so much on you. The moment you 

give up, many more lives could be lost and your pain will even be 

aggravated. Please rely on Jesus and he will comfort you for ever.    

       Are you familiar with the 'Ben Carson story'? This is a 

real life story of one of the best medical surgeons in USA by name 

Doctor Ben Carson. According to the book 'gifted hands' by Ben 

Carson and Cecil Murphey(2011), this gentlemen grew up in a 

poor home, struggled through racial discrimination in school, and 

was even mocked at by his school mates on a number of instances. 

"I found capping an embarrassing and painful 

experience...Capping was always done within earshot of the 

victim, and the best targets were the kids whose clothes were a 

little out of style...I was a special target"(Carson & Murphey 

2011). As you can see, Ben was ridiculed by his mates at the time 

little did they know what God had in stock for him. He went 

through much more pain and struggle but his mom was always 

there to keep him moving. "When she believed in something, she 

held on and wouldn't quit...or one of her favorites: 'you just ask the 

Lord and he'll help you'"(Carson & Murphey, 2011). Doctor 

Benjamin Carson graduated from the medical school of the 

university of Michigan after which he became a neurosurgeon at 

the John hopkins university in Baltimore found in Maryland, USA.  

He was the very first neurosurgeon to separate a pair of siamese 

twins(still babies) whose heads were joined from birth. 

       Imagine this possibility: after all the racial disfavor, insults, 

and hardship he experienced as a child, doctor Carson still did not 

give up on himself and because of this, God used him to save many 

innocent children’s lives. Among these lives include the lives of a 

set of twins in Germany whose heads were joined at birth. My dear 

friends, I tell you, don’t you ever give up. God has a special plan 

for you.
