"He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief." Romans 4:20 NKJV
Carrying on from our study on confession yesterday, let's expound it and get a deeper understanding of it.
Homologeo in the Christian tense says the same things that God says. It confesses and declares it. It doesn't look at the natural but looks past it to the supernatural. What God says, may not happen in the natural immediately, but as we stand on our faith, it is lodged there and will manifest in due course.
Abraham faced a rather impossible situation. God told him that he and Sarah, his wife, would have a child in their very old age. To many of us, this would have seemed bizarre and totally impossible. However, Abraham was adamant - if God had said it, he believed it. There would have been some Homologeo going on here as Abraham spoke and agreed with what God had said.
In Romans 4, we see that Abraham, 'contrary to hope, in hope believed'. (v18) 'Not being weak in faith', (19). 'He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief', (v20' and 'being fully convinced what He had promised,He was able to perform', v21. Abraham did not consider the natural things around him. We should never consider our own limitations. We need to be ready for the change that is coming.
Galatians 5:9 says, 'do not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose hope'. Find a verse that is relevant to your situation and then stand on it. Pray it out and allow the Homologeo to take place by starting to confess and declare what God says about your situation. Believe it even if it looks and sounds totally impossible with your natural eyes and belief. Stand on it, claim it, confess it and declare it until you have it. Habakkuk 2:2-3 says, 'Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come. It will not tarry.'
The devil may try to get you to forget about it - it won't happen. People may tell you that you have it wrong but if you're convinced it's God, keep pressing on with your faith. I once heard a visiting preacher give a sermon at a certain church. At the end, he gave an altar call but, he said, 'I want you to know that no one has ever been healed under my ministry. However, if you wish prayer for healing, we will give it a try'. As you can well imagine, no one was healed and I was totally flabbergasted at such a statement.
We must say things how God says them; we must agree and believe that it will happen. Never, ever waver through doubt and unbelief!
