BELIEVING IN HOPE, AGAINST HOPE

This term or title really looks funny to me, but it very accurately describes, the condition of some people that will read this article. It is important to know however that these words are not just my words, neither are these terms my terms, I saw them first in the word of God.
One day recently, while watching a television program on a satellite T.V. channel known as DBN, transmitting from London, I heard a man , a preacher, tell a story that seems to me to be the most impossible situation that became possible in the World. This story that ought to be investigated, and documented in the Guinness book of records. He told the story of a woman, who was well into her late fifty’s who came with her husband to his ministry unable to conceive as it were, therefore childless. According to him, this woman, not only conceived, but delivered for children over a space of four years.
The shocking aspect of the story is that the woman delivered one or two of the children within a space of two months after the previous pregnancy and delivery, and as a doctor, I know that this is medically impossible, but we serve a God who does impossible things. A normal pregnancy lasts for between 7 and nine months, but to talk of 2 months? This ought to be investigated by the medical community and the media.
There is an older and related story in the Bible that talks about a man Abraham, whose wife had a child at the age of seventy-five years and he was ninety years old at that time. Thus we read from the Book of Romans in the Bible, chapter4, verses 17 and 18, “(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations.)Before him whom he believed, even God, who quickens the dead and calls those things that be not(do not exist), as though they were. Who against hope, believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.”
