Gen 12:1-3; Heb. 11:8-10
In John 8:39 there is an interesting dispute between the Pharisees and Jesus: “They answered and said to Him, ‘Abraham is our father.’ Jesus said to them, ‘If you are Abraham\’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.’” Paul the Apostle, also elaborates on this in Gal 3:6-7, “Even so Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.” We are not the heirs of faith because we know that we must live by faith, but we become the heirs of faith by actually having faith, by doing the same deeds that Abraham did. We must devote ourselves to finding what the Lord is building and sacrifice whatever is required to be a part of it.
Abraham was apparently from a noble family in what was then the greatest culture on the earth. The Chaldeans were the custodians of the great wonders of the world, but something burned in Abraham\’s heart to be a part of something much greater than anything men could build. He believed God by being willing to leave everything that he had known, the greatest life available at that time, to seek the Lord\’s will in unknown places. Faith sees far beyond what others can see. Faith sees with the eyes of the heart, and walks more by what is seen by the heart than what is seen by physical eyes.
- Praise YHVH as King of the Universe. Command all creation to join you in praising YHVH as you proclaim Psalm 148 over the last 10 nights of Ramadan and the coming season.
- Proclaim Psalm 19:1-4; and command the heavens to join you in declaring the glory of YHVH over your life, family, the church and your territory. The heavens will reject every other instruction given to them in this season and do only YHVH’s 8-fold purpose of their creation (Gen 1:14-17).
