Imagine God calling Abram "the father of many nations" when he was yet to receive the covenant child. (Genesis 17:1-5)
God literally changed his name from Abram to Abraham (meaning father of nations) , but the reality before him had not changed.

This is the lesson: Don't allow the contradiction between what God has said and what you currently see to make you abandon what He told you in the secret.. GOD IS STILL COMMITTED TO FULFILLING HIS WORD.
