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

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
