Mountain Top 5

Hello Everyone,

Without exception something you need to understand Obedience Brings God’s Blessing.

READ with me (Genesis 22:11-19)

¹¹ But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

¹² “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”

¹³ Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. ¹⁴ So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”

¹⁵ The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time ¹⁶ and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, ¹⁷ I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, ¹⁸ and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”

¹⁹ Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

We can compare another promise to obedience:

Malachi 3:10

“I will open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it”.

How many here have experienced the overflowing BLESSINGS of God in return for COMPLETE obedience.

Have you ever given money to someone in need without repayment from God?

Have you ever given time for the cause of the Kingdom without repayment from God?

Mark 10:29-30

“Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's, 30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time--houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions--and in the age to come, eternal life”.

Exceeding great and precious are the PROMISES of God!

Ephesians 3:20  Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,

The lesson to be learned from this time in History is that God who is all knowing wants our will completely and totally in line with His Will.

We are not called on to give up one pursuit out of many; one wish out of many; we are called on to give up everything, to sink our will into God’s.

To finish every prayer with “Nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.”

Hebrews 11:17-20

“By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense”.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
