ISAAC THE CHILD OF COVENANT

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: ISAAC THE CHILD OF COVENANT

TEXT: GENESIS 17: 15-21 

TUESDAY OCTOBER 31ST
Key verse: Genesis 17: 21 “But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee in this set time in the next year” 
God’s call of Abraham began a new chapter in God’s purpose to restore His relationship with humanity. The sin of rebellion had broken that relationship. God knew that mankind would so desperately need it back so He looked for a person who could serve this purpose. God wanted a man who would know and trust Him completely. From this man would come a family who would know, teach, and follow the Lord’s plans, a distinct nation of people. They would reject the ungodly way of other nations and fulfill God’s plans. From this nation would come, Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world.
God found Abraham righteous to fulfill this plan. Abraham needed to get out of his country, his kindred, and his father’s house to a land that God would show him. There, God will make him a great nation and will bless him and make his name great and he shall be a blessing. Abraham needed a child through which this promise would be fulfilled. Abraham thought it would be through Eliezer of Damascus, his servant, or through Ismael, the son he got through Hagar, Sarah’s housemaid, but God still insisted it would be through Sarah his wife. 
Genesis 17:19 “And God said Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed, and thou shall call his name Isaac and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.” Here God clearly confirmed that the covenant was neither with either Eliezer nor with Ismael. Isaac was the line through which the seed of the woman, Jesus Christ, would emerge. From Isaac, we had Jacob, and thereafter Judah. Jesse, David and after carefully guided lineage, Jesus Christ came forth. Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved”

Thought for the day: Jesus is the name above all names

Song for the day: Jesus is the sweetest name I know… 

Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 29-30; Titus 1

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
