Ageless Sarah

Once upon a time, there lived a young lady who was still young at age 89, she still had suitors calling for her and whenever she and her husband travels to any town, they would agree that she is just his sister due to the fact that she was so beautiful and ageless. When she was at the age of 65, she and her husband went to Egypt during the famine, and PHARAOH took her as his wife because of her beauty (Genesis 12:10-15), Another king also coveted her as his wife, King Abimelech. This time, she was even way older - 89 year old Cinderella. She gave birth to her first and only child, when she was 99 years old, her name is SARAH.

Is Sarah for real? what about the wrinkles, grey hair, posture , and  weaknesses that comes with aging, but in Sarah, God defied nature. there is a  Yoruba adage that  says 'ILE OBIRIN O KIN PE SU', Sarah's life reveals the exception to the adage, how  she was still able to  breastfeed her child at the age of  99, in her moment of disbelieve the angel asked her 'if there is
anything to hard for the lord? And there is actually nothing too hard for the Lord. Gen 18:10:15.
People usually say age is just a number, some believe and some don't, as women we believe our clock is ticking and ticking fast, we want to get married at the age of 25 and give birth to all our children before 32, but as much as this is a reasonable thing to think about, there is one thing we also need to be aware of: a woman that loves God would live forever.

Let's stop being too anxious because of our age, and hold on to the promise of God for our lives, though the vision may tarry but let's be patient and wait for it, whether it is a job, a man, or a child, just wait for it, it will come in due season. We should not make the mistake Sarah made by giving her husband to Hagar, which brought forth Ishmael, who the Bible says would always be at war with everyone(Gen 16:11-12). He gave birth to the countries like Iran, Iraq and
 so on.


Live your life in the pattern of God's promise for you, don't look at anyone's life to measure ours, you are not old until you start thinking you are, dress up, dress well, go out, eat well, exercise, worryless, sleep well, if you don't have money do window shopping and make sure you impact into many people's lives, because at the end of our lives we should be called SARAH, princess, mother of many nations.
