FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 18:9-15 (KJV)
9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.
10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.
11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.
12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?
14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.
15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Sarah, the wife of Abraham, is listed as a hero of faith. She is the first woman on this prestigious list, and she is subsumed under Abraham, her husband. What lessons are there to learn from this woman?
First of all, Sarah was a submissive wife. The Bible says that she called her husband, ‘lord.’ 1 Peter 3:5-6 describes true beauty using Sarah as an example. Sarah, as much as she had her own opinions, still respected Abraham as the head of the house so she didn’t take any action without his approval, including in the matter of Hagar (Genesis 16:1-6, 21:9-12). Here is a great lesson for women: do not usurp your husband’s authority. Husbands should however note that submission does not mean subjugating or relegating their wives.
Another important point is that Sarah served the God of her husband. This is also from the place of submission. Most times, God spoke to Abraham who then passed the message to Sarah but she still believed. She didn’t doubt her husband and his God. She did not wait until God spoke to her directly. She followed her husband’s example of faith. When Sarah laughed in Genesis 18, she denied it because she was afraid. She had enough fear of God to not laugh at His promises to His face. Many of us, like Sarah, laugh at divine promises because we don’t see the possibilities of them coming to pass but we need to operate in faith. Sarah’s faith must have been awakened at that time because it was in that season she conceived.
Are you, like Sarah, trying to help God? Every attempt to play God will end in futility. It was when Sarah’s faith was awakened that she conceived her child and received her miracle. Beloved, it’s not enough to know God’s promises for you, you should also tenaciously hold on to those promises in faith, believing that they will come to pass. Don’t believe in God and have a Plan B. Have a mindset of “God alone.”
