GODS DESIRE IS TO BLESS HIS CHILDREN THAT THEY WILL
BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS. GEN 12;2
WE WILL USE THE LIFE OF ABRAHAM TO ILLUSTRATE THE
PRINCIPLES WE MUST FOLLOW IF WE EXPECT TO BE
BLESSED,PROVIDED FOR AND USED MIGHTILY BY GOD.
1ST PRINCIPLE: SEPARATION GEN 12:1
A) FROM THE WORLD 2:COR 6: 14-18 ROMANS 12:1-3
B) SOMETIMES FROM FAMILY: GEN 12:1 LUKE 14:26
C) ANYTHING THAT HINDERS OUR WALK. MATT. 5:29-30
2ND PRINCIPLE: WE MUST POSITIONED TO HEAR GOD
GEN: 22:1 (FELLOWSHIP PRAYER AND HIS WORD)
GOD MEETS AND SPEAKS WITH US AT CHURCH. EX 29:
42-46 HEB: 10:25
3RD PRINCIPLE: WE MUST BE DOING WHAT WE ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. EPH 4:1 GEN 22: 3-10
A)OFFERRING UP SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ROM 12:1
OURSELVES,OUR FAMILY AND OUR FINANCES.
MANY PEOPLE FORFEIT THEIR BLESSINGS BECAUSE
THEY ARE NOT WHERE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
DOING WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.
PREACHERS THAT WONT PREACH,TEACHERS THAT WONT
TEACH,DEACONS THAT WONT DEAC,SINGERS THAT WONT
SING,WORKERS THAT WONT WORK,AND CONGREGATIONS
THAT WONT CONGREGATE.
CONCLUSION: WHAT DO WE LEARN FROM ABRAHAM?
WE MUST LISTEN,RESPOND,OBEY AND THEN GOD
BLESSES AND PROVIDES.GEN: 22:12-18
ABRAHAM WAS FAITHFUL- HE OBEYED.
WHAT KEPT HIM FAITHFUL- HIS FAITH.
WHERE GOD GUIDES,GOD PROVIDES-FOLLOW HIS CALL
PROVISION FOR ALL- REFUSE TO OBEY IN NEED YOU
WILL STAY.
AMEN
