HOLD ON TO GOD

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Genesis 13:14

And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever…”

Additional Verses

📖 Genesis 13:1-18; Psalm 27:1-11; Matthew 4:1- 11; Luke 10:17-24

What do you do when you are faced with a difficult situation? At times those close to you may suddenly reject you just like what Lot did to Abraham after spending so much time together. Abraham never allowed any rejection or any size of offence to separate him from God. While Lot’s choice was not at all guided by God, Abraham waited upon His Creator for his next move. Abraham never allowed Lot’s offensive attitude to interfere with his relationship with his God. Abraham preferred peace instead of fighting over a piece of grazing land. After Lot had left, the LORD visited Abraham and spoke to him saying, “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are—northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever. And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, then your descendants also could be numbered. Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.” Immediately Abraham heard God’s promise, he built an Altar and gave thanks to the LORD. Today I am saying to you, Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and forever. His Word is as alive as it was during the time of Abraham. He knows what you are going through and His promise to you is that you may be re-established to another level just as He did to Abraham. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For l know the thoughts l think towards you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” For this to happen, you must allow His Word to guide and direct you. God knows that you are going through impossible situations. You must know that even Abraham’s situation was also very much impossible, but just because he continued to hold onto the Word of God, God remembered him. Keep holding on to the Word of God which builds up your faith. When the Word of God dominates your heart, your faith is increased and you can declare it upon every situation that is challenging you. Have strong faith in God, believe in His Word and all will be well for you according to God’s time. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You Father for Your Word which is truth. May You give me Your kind of faith, hope and love just as You gave to Your servant Abraham so that I will be able to continue holding on to You no matter my circumstances. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name I pray. Amen.
