Go Forth and Multiply.
Scripture: Genesis 8:15-19.
And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons\’ wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons\’ wives with him: Every beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of the ark. After the flood God instructed Noah and his family to go forth from the ark along with all the animals and to be fruitful and multiply upon the earth. Here God was beginning again after the failure of His covenant with Adam and Eve had caused an interruption in His planned lineage of faith. God was expecting Noah to live the kind of faith life He had expected Adam to live. What\’s more, He was expecting Noah to teach it to his sons so it would be carried on to succeeding generations. Why? Because God knew that one day His Son Jesus Christ would be returning to the earth and would be seeking a lineage of faith. And you and I are part of that lineage!
PRAYER
Father, You have heard my cries, and I will live to see Your promises of deliverance fulfilled in my life. You have not forgotten one word of Your promise; You are a Covenant-Keeper. You are a Father to me. You delivered me from the past that held me in bondage, and translated me into the Kingdom of love, peace, joy, and righteous- ness. I no longer settle for the pain of the past. Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds.
Father, what You have promised, I will possess, in the name of Jesus. I am willing to get back into the good fight of faith, and run the race with patient endurance and steady, active persistence. I rebuke the spirit of fear, for I am established in righteousness. Oppression and destruction shall not come near me. Whoever stirs up strife against me shall fall and surrender. I am more than a conqueror through Him Who loves me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. 1 Kings 8:56 Deuteronomy 26:8 Colossians 1:13 Romans 5:20; 8:37 1 Timothy 6:12 Isaiah 54:14-16 .
