Promises to Abram
Now The Lord (God Almighty) had said to Abram (Abram/Abraham): “Get
out of your Country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land
that I (God Almighty) will show YOU (Abram/Abraham). I (God Almighty) will make YOU
(Abram/Abraham) a Great Nation; I (God Almighty) will Bless YOU (Abram/Abraham)
and make your name great; and YOU (Abram/Abraham) shall be a Blessing. I (God Almighty) will Bless those who bless
YOU (Abram/Abraham), and I (God Almighty) will curse him who curses YOU
(Abram/Abraham); and in YOU (Abram/Abraham) All the Families of the Earth,
shall be Blessed.” So Abram (Abram/Abraham)
departed as The Lord (God
Almighty) had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram (Abram/Abraham) was Seventy-Five years old when he
departed from Haran. Then Abram (Abram/Abraham)
took Sarai (Sarai/Sarah), his Wife, and Lot, his Brother’s Son, and all their
possessions that they had gathered, and the people whom they had acquired in Haran,
and they departed to go to The Land of Canaan.
So they came to The Land of Canaan.
Abram (Abram/Abraham) passed through the land to The Place of Shechem,
as far as the Terebinth Tree of Moreh, and the Canaanites were then in the land. Then The Lord
(God Almighty) appeared to Abram (Abram/Abraham) and said, “To your Descendants
I (God Almighty) will give this land.”
And there he (Abram/Abraham) built an Altar to The Lord (God Almighty), who had appeared to
him (Abram/Abraham). And he (Abram/Abraham)
moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he (Abram/Abraham) pitched
his tent with Bethel on the
west and Ai on the east; there he (Abram/Abraham) built an Altar to The Lord (God Almighty) and called on The Name
of The Lord (God Almighty). So Abram (Abram/Abraham) journeyed, going on
still toward the South.
Faithful Abraham
By Faith, Abraham (Abram/Abraham) obeyed when he (Abram/Abraham)
was Called to go out to the place, which he (Abram/Abraham)
would receive as an inheritance. And he (Abram/Abraham) went out, NOT knowing where he (Abram/Abraham)
was going. By Faith, he
(Abram/Abraham) dwelt in The Land of Promise, as in a Foreign Country, dwelling in
tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him (Abram/Abraham) of the same Promise; for he (Abram/Abraham) waited
for the City, which has foundations, whose Builder and Maker is God (God Almighty).
Question: Do YOU have this type of obedience towards
God Almighty? When He (God Almighty) Calls upon YOU, to
step out of your “Comfort Zone”, to go where He (God Almighty) tells YOU to go,
without question, will YOU go? Even if
this means, leaving behind your family, your friends, and your Church family,
to go some place far away? Perhaps God
Almighty will send YOU out of State or He (God Almighty) may even send YOU out
of your Country, will YOU go? Remember,
by Faith, Abraham (Abram/Abraham) obeyed God Almighty, and left without even knowing where His (Abram/Abraham’s) final destination would be.
These days, God Almighty does things a little
differently. Believers today, have Our
Lord Jesus Christ abiding within every single one of Us, through The Holy
Spirit. Think about that for a
moment. Jesus Christ abides within
YOU. Wherever YOU go, Jesus Christ goes
with YOU. The Holy Spirit is your
Counselor, Teacher, and Guide. Our Lord
Jesus Christ Blesses each of Us with Spiritual Gifts. These Spiritual Gifts are to be used to
Preach The Gospel of Jesus Christ. To
share about God’s Amazing Saving Grace through God’s Free Gift of Salvation. To let each person know, that each one of Us
matters, that each one of Us is unique and special, in God Almighty’s
Eyes. God Almighty Loves each one of Us,
with Unconditional Love, far beyond Our comprehension. Every single one of Us, is Created in God
Almighty’s Image, to walk in God’s Immediate Presence, Forever, for Eternity.
People today, who have yet to accept God’s Free Gift
of Salvation, feel lost as they walk through their Earthly Lives. They may feel insignificant, in God
Almighty’s Eyes, thinking, how or why could He (God Almighty) care about them. They may feel they have done too many bad
things or NOT
enough good things, for God Almighty to ever want them, in His (God Almighty’s)
Immediate Presence. They may feel or may
have been told or taught, that God Almighty never existed, and therefore Jesus
Christ and The Holy Spirit also never existed.
They may have been born into or brought up, in a religion or belief
system, which does NOT acknowledge God Almighty, and God
Almighty’s ONLY Son, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Spirit. They may have been told or taught, that
through Jesus Christ, was NOT the ONLY way, to enter into God’s Immediate Presence.
I’m sure, I have only scratched the surface, but YOU get the idea.
