The Promise of Faith – A Word to those Abraham`s of Today - Ten
There are
great promises to those who believe like Abraham. Those who walk by faith and walk in
obedience. Obedience is better and
greater than any sacrifice. Many think
that if they sacrifice on behalf of the Lord that will give them some special
merit with Him. God desires obedience
before sacrifice. The Lord blesses
obedience and darkness disappears. Saul
lost his anointing and kingdom by his constant disobedience. That can happen to any of God’s people if
they choose the path of disobedience.
The people of Israel had the same thing happen after generations of
rebellion. Remember rebellion is like
the sin of witchcraft. These examples
are given to us as a warning and only the foolish refuse to heed constant
warnings.
Next,
the Lord blessed Abraham for his unselfish attitude and lifestyle. Being a servant will destroy the snare of
self. Do not get caught up in “I”
disease. This will blind you from seeing
God’s will and missing the needs of others.
Selfishness is a product of pride and pride destroys the character,
nature and vision of God in one’s life.
It leads to nothing but wanting recognition and the approval of
others. Lastly, Abraham was a man of courage. He never shrank back from faith. His courage won him the victory over his
enemies of the four cities. His courage
enabled him to believe God’s promise even though his body was long dead. God gave him his promise. Those who walk in obedience, unselfishness
and courage will have their promise.
Claim yours today child of God and you will have it.
