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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
