Abraham Opened Possible Doors Through His Relationship With God
Scripture: Genesis 18:16-23
When we get to know God in this covenant, can we influence what God does? Can we change God\’s
mind? Can we cause Him to reconsider His actions concerning cities and nations? Can we, through covenantal relationship, impact what God does on the earth? Can we stop a course of action God has already chosen? Can we start another course of action when none exists? The answer is in the life of Abraham and in the covenant of relationship. Did Abraham influence God in the destruction of
Sodom and Gomorrah? Well, he certainly didn\’t stop it – but he did delay it. How long did he delay it?
He delayed it long enough for the angels to remove Lot and his family and to further add to the
understanding of the power of this covenant. The impact of Abram\’s relationship further deepens as
we read Genesis 19 and look at the dialogue between Lot and the angels. Here is what we find in
verses 21 through 23, “And he said to him, \’See, I have favored you concerning this thing also, in
that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken. Hurry, escape there. For I cannot
do anything until you arrive there.\’” The angels said to Lot, “Hurry, we cannot do anything
until you are safely gone.” Who made that possible? Abraham made that possible through his
relationship with God. Is the loss that brings us into knowing God worth what can come out of the
new relationship? You better believe it!
*Most of the time, the church of Christ gets lost in partisan activities when it comes to the choice of national leaders. We forget that we have the authority to steer God\’s man into the direction God will have them go.
*As you pray for the leadership in your nation, whether you chose them or not, pray that God will direct the heart of your leaders in His own course, so they fulfill their destiny in this season.
*Remember the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. God\’s
hand is on His Body the church. (Proverbs 21:1).
