When they were 99 and 89 years old respectively, Abraham and Sarah laughed off the offer of a child from God. That was not the first time that God made the promise; but it had been so long in coming that they closed the chapter. In any case they had found a palliative alternative in Ishmael. God’s reiteration of a child to Abraham and Sarah was first greeted with laughter of unbelief. The reason why they could not take the offer was their dead situations. Abraham’s body was dead as was Sarah’s womb. From those seemingly dead bodies came multitudes of people, as innumerable as the sand by the sea shore. What happened? God simply administered some anti-aging procedure on this couple! This was not the only place that God’s anti-aging treatment was applied. Naaman also got that treatment. After he dipped himself in Jordan water seven times as the prophet stipulated, his skin came back fresh like that of a baby!

I believe God can preserve your body from undue decay, keep you strong and alive until you possess what has been earmarked for you. Beyond this, God can reverse every wrong entry in your life. What is required is a heart that can take God at His word. Though Abraham and Sarah first laughed at what they considered preposterous, they soon kissed their unbelief goodbye and embraced the promise of God. From that moment on, they shifted their focus from what their body was telling them to what God was saying. Make the switch today; focus on what God is saying in the face of other contrary opinion.
