THE SEED OF ABRAHAM

Laying the Foundation!

1. God made a covenant (promise) with Abraham

• Genesis 12:1-3 - "Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
• Genesis13:14-16 - "And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered."
• Genesis 15:1-6 - "After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward. And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir. And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness."

Circumcision: Genesis 17:1-4 - "And when Abram was ninety years old and nine,
the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk
before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations."

Abram's name changed: Genesis 17:5 - "Neither shall thy name any more be
called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I
made thee."

Sarai's name changed: Genesis 17:15 - "And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be."

Covenant repeated to Sarah (through Issac): Genesis 17:19 - "And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him."

Each of the following will be expounded upon.

2. God confirmed the covenant (promise) with His people (Abraham becomes Israel)

3. God gave Daniel a Prophecy of the Messiah coming through the tribe of Judah

4. God's people rejected the Messiah and thus no longer become heirs of the promise [by birth]

5. God extended the covenant (promise) to the Gentiles (people of non-Jewish descent)

6. God made a way for the Gentiles to become the seed of Abraham [through faith]

7. God's covenant (promise) is still to the Jews, but now, not by birthright, but by faith in Jesus Christ

NO RULES, NOT RIGHT

What would our world be without rules? What if there were no commandments? Then what would our rules of society be based on?

1. We would be our own Gods or we would make Gods out of anything or anyone.

2. We could worship things made from gold, brass, metal, wood or other materials.

3. We could talk about the Creator anyway and make jokes about Him.

4. We would work ourselves sick or chose a day of man's choosing for rest and refreshing.

5. Children could disrespect and disregard their parents authority.

6. You could kill anyone who made you angry or just because you do not like them.

7. You can take your friend's or neighbor's husband or wife.

8. You can take another person's property if you wanted it.

9. You could lie when it suited your purposes.

10. You could envy or covet the belongings of other people (which would lead to #6,#7 or #8).


Think about it, if the commandments were nailed to the cross, then why are we bothering to live by any of them. We should just be doing what we want, whenever we want and for whatever reason we want. Our society would be a very unhappy place. We would be scared all the time and there would be no peace. Our world would be worst than it is now--like it was in the days before the flood.

The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. (Genesis 6:5,11,12)

PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND

Parents really do understand.

They understand the issues that matter. Parents also experienced peer pressure, feelings of inadequacy, selfishness, joy, lonliness, fear, doubt, pride, anger, relief, etc.


Though they may not be as technologically savvy, that can learned, just like their children are learning. But that does not disqualify them and me, for that matter, from identifying with the human issues children face.


If we had listened to our parents and respected their age and experience more, we would have saved ourselves from many mistakes and enjoyed more of life.

Children always think they are smarter than their parents. Like the Children of Israel, they have to go through many painful experiences unnecessarily before they realize the wisdom that is available to them.


To the mother whose son is rebelling against the family, she should realize that rebellion began in heaven with Lucifer, then with Adam and Eve, then with Cain and has continued through the ages. 2 Timothy 3:2 & Romans 1:30 states that in these last days, disobedience to parents will be one of the major issues to be dealt with. Where can she turn? To God! She has to pray and fast for her child like never before. All day, throughout the day. It's a committment, but God hears the prayers of the surrendered parent.


Lastly, there's a quote that says "more is caught then taught." We model behavior to our children. I may not be able to tell my children what is a podcast or what to do with an ipod (because I really don't), but I can model character to them. In the end, character is what really matters.


Parents, give yourselves a break. You've been a child once and that experience is invaluable to your child. Don't be ashamed to share with your child your successes and mistakes. Let them know that your advice was not just pulled from the air, nor is it being used to beat them over the head. Let them know that you love them and are accountable to God for how you raise them.


Thanks Atiba for giving me something to think about and practice in my own family.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH THROUGH THE AGES

The Church of the Old Testament

God's church stretches from Eden to Eden. Those who have obeyed God have been called by various names such as "the sons of God,"(see Genesis 6:2 and Romans 8:14) "the seed of Abraham*(see Isaiah 41:8 and Hebrews 2:16)", "the children of Israel,"(see Genesis 46:8 and Acts 10:36) or "Christians."(see Acts 11:26) They all have the same fundamental beliefs.


The Church of the Old Testament accepted the law of God as its rule of life

The Ten-Commandment law is unchangeable because it is an expression of God's character, which is universal, eternal, unchangeable (see Hebrews 13:8). Long before the commandments were given to Moses on Mount Sinai, the people of God were keeping them. God said, "Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes and my laws." (Genesis 26:5)


God has had only one method of salvation, one standard of righteousness, all through the ages

We read in Psalm 105:8-11 that He made a covenant with Abraham, Issac and Jacob and the children of Israel for an everlasting covenant. God declares that that covenant was made forever, "the word which He commanded to a thousand generations." It is not correct to say that in Old Testament times people were under law and in New Testament times people were under grace. God has always maintained a harmony of law and grace. We are saved by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and when we have experienced this salvation and have entered into a saving relationship with Him, we delight to do His will (and keep His commandments).

The members of the Old Testament church showed their faith in the plan of salvation by offering a sacrifice. By faith they accepted God's plan, for the sacrifice was a symbol of the Lamb of God, who would take away the sins of the world. They became free men and women, new creatures through faith in the coming Messiah. The hope of the ages has always been the coming of the Lord.

God instructed the church members in Old Testiment times through prophets. Moses was the first writer whom God used to record permenent instructions for His church and to preserve the people's experiences for future generations. These inspired writings were read to the congregations on the seventh-day Sabbath and on other special occasions. These writings are known to us as the Old Testament.

THE WORD OF GOD

Any bible topic must be studied with the Word of God in hand. The Torah or Pentatuch will give only part of the picture. The whole bible (old and new testiment) will give a comprehensive picture. I recommend the King James Version (KJV) along with the New International Version (NIV) to supplement.

For a study on why translation is so important, listen to "Changing the Word" (214B) and "Battle of the Bibles" (213B) by Professor Walter J. Veith on www.amazingdiscoveries.org or watch it on www.video.google.com by conducting a search by title.

WHAT BRINGS HAPPINESS

Happy is he...



...whose hope is in the Lord (Psalm 146:5)

...that feareth always (Proverbs 28:14)

...that keepeth the law (Proverbs 29:18)

...that hath mercy on the poor (Proverbs 14:21)

...whom God correcteth (Job 5:17)

...who trusteth in the Lord (Proverbs 16:20)

...condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth [read whole chapter for its full context] (Romans 14:27)

...suffereth for righteousness' sake (1 Peter 3:14)

...hath his quiver full of them [children] (Psalsm 127:5)

...whose God is the Lord (Psalm 144:15)

WHO LIKES REJECTION?

Not me! I'd be willing to say, not you either. Even God doesn't like rejection. When the children of Israel asked Samuel for a King, the Lord said, "...for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them." (1 Samuel 7:8)

Recently, I was struck with the thought that my life is spent doing mostly for me. There was nothing that I really did for the Lord. I felt pretty contented with the fact that I'm raising four children so that pretty much makes me exempt from active witnessing. For you it may be the many ministries you're involved in at church or the many charities and events you participate in in your community.

There is a belief that we witness just by existing and that you don't need to go out to witness about Jesus love and salvation--people will just see Christ in you. If that was the case, Jesus would have left it at, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16)

He did not leave it there, because later on, before His ascension, He said, "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:19,20)

Believe you me, talking to strangers or even friends and acquaintances about Christ is not something I cherish. It's not me. I can't do it. That's not my gift. But did Jesus tell the disciples to go out witnessing if that was their special gift. No! Of the gifts listed in 1 Corinthians 12, witnessing is not one of them. We're all just asked to do it. Scary thought!

I walk around quoting, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," but then claim "can't" when I don't want to do something He asked me to do. Why?

Rejection! Preservation of Self! Plain and simple. The word of the Lord loses power for me when it comes in conflict with His will versus mine. Whether it's submitting to my husband, speaking kindly to my children, giving the smelly old man some change or saying good morning to the rude girl at the checkout, I'm in constant conflict between God's will and mine.

Let me wrap this up.

We have to tell people about Jesus. We have to look for opportunities to share the gospel with a spiritually dead world. We have to go where the lost are and not wait for them to come to us or ask us. They won't. They're in jeopardy of being lost. They don't know that there is a better way. We have to tell them. We can do it. Why? Becasue we "...can do all things through Christ who strengtens" us. (Philippians 4:13)

If they don't want to repent and be converted, they're not rejecting us, but God. Start with your own family members who don't follow Christ. From now on, every person you meet is someone who will either have eternal life or perish. God help us!

WILL IT BE FOR NOTHING

"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?" (Matthew 7:11)


My children are precious gifts to me from God. The more I study, the more this is evident. My responsibility and act of gratitude is to raise them to be fit citizens of a civil society and more importantly, to prepare them to inherit eternal life in Heaven. I spend time reading and researching about food and nutrition so that meals are nutritious and tasty. Countless hours are spent planning their academics so that they are prepared for life in the world around them. Even more time is spent teaching them biblical principles for living, because "what good is it if they gain the world, but lose their soul." More time is spent scheduling interesting educational trips so that what they read in books comes alive. Playdates are secured with their friends and relatives so that they cultivate their own godly relationships.

For all that, one would think that my children would be grateful and thankful. As sin would have it, they don't seem to be. Don't misunderstand me, they say "thank you" for meals that they like, for outings that they enjoy and for individual special time spent together doing something that they want to do.

What I'm talking about are the times that they complain because they don't get to do something they like, when schedules change, when I say "no", etc. And it's not just complaining, it's the attitude that goes along with it or the retaliation that is taken out against another sibling. They don't think about the love that I have for them or remember when things did go their way.

This made me think about our individual relationship with Jesus Christ. We all have one! Either it's a growing relationship or an estranged one.

God wanted so much to give us eternal life and save us from Satan's power over us through sin. God sent His only son, Jesus Christ, as our redeemer. Jesus gave up glory in Heaven to become like mortal man so that He could identify with us, show us how to live and yet purchase our salvation with His own precious blood.

Are we grateful for this gift of salvation like loving children should be? Do we murmur and complain against the Living God when life does not go our way? Are we thankful that He sent His son that we might have eternal life? Do we accept Jesus Christ as our loving saviour and friend or do we reject Him as just another man?

These are or were, just men. Some can even be classified as great.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (John 3:16,17)

Sinners in the hands of an angry God? NOT SO!!

"Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?" (Ezekiel 33:11 - Read the whole chapter)

"But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? " (Ezekiel 18:21-23, Read the whole chapter)

Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive. Because he considereth, and turneth away from all his transgressions that he hath committed, he shall surely live, he shall not die. Yet saith the house of Israel, The way of the LORD is not equal. O house of Israel, are not my ways equal? are not your ways unequal? Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, saith the Lord GOD. Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. (Ezekiel 18:27-32, Read the whole chapter)

God has two natures

"And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation." (Exodus 34:6,7)

Once Saved, Always Saved? No!

"But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live? All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned: in his trespass that he hath trespassed, and in his sin that he hath sinned, in them shall he die." (Ezekiel 18:24)

BE A NON-CONFORMIST

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God" Romans 12:2

WHY BOTHER TO PRAY

• Our prayers puts the answer in motion. God deserves the credit, so someone has to pray, otherwise we would think that we created the outcome ourselves or that it just happened by coincidence.

OSTEOPEROSIS

A major health concern for older women is the degeneration of their bones. Known as Osteoperosis, this disease is caused by a depletion of calcium in your bones. We have been taught to drink milk, lots of it, to help combat this condition. Truth be told, the cow's milk that we've been drinking will not help.

Before I share with you some other "foods" that deplete calcium from your body, let me be honest. If you've been accustomed to believing everything you hear in the news or read in the newspapers or what you've been told, without doing some research and verification of you own, chances are that most of what you think is truth is not. This also pertains to religious matters. That is why the encouragement is given, "study to show thyself approved*." You've got to know why you believe what you believe, whether it's about religion or about health--Materials on this blog included.

Now back to Osteoperosis!

Alcohol
Coffee
Cola (aka soda, pop, aereated drinks, etc) - because of their high phosphoric acid content

These drinks deplete the calcium deposits in your bones. The young people that are consuming a regular diet of these beverages will not see the results until they get older, so it's not just an elderly problem.

Here's what you can do to help your bones.

Exercise - specifically weight bearing exercise like lunges, push ups, strength straining, etc. are very helpful in helping to strengthen your bones. Like I said, investigate for yourself and trust your instinct (aka The Holy Spirit which everyone has a measure of**). Only you know which exercises work for you. If you've never exercised or haven't done so in a while, start off slowly and build up to a good pace as you become stronger. Poor health doesn't happen overnight, nor will you repair the ill effects overnight.

Nutrition - foods like sunflower seeds, spinach, and other unprocessed food that God provides in nature are very benefitial because of their high calcium content.

Healthy Thinking - half of our health battles goes on in the mind. If we've purposed in our hearts to start eating healthy, exercising or refraining from habits that are killing us slowly, we are almost there. On the other hand, if we begin thinking about all the obstacles to our success before we even start, we're already defeated. Don't let the next family dinner two weeks from now or the office party one month from now, be the reason why you can't start now.

Our lives are too precious to lose because of bad food choices. It's time we put a stop to gluttony and sinful gratification of appetite.

CHRIST OUR HOPE

Jesus Christ is truly the hope of our sinful world. The Prophet Isaiah calls him, ..."Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). The name Jesus means, "Yahweh is Savior." Why? Because "...He will save his people from their sins" (Matthew 1:21).

That's the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Belief or unbelief does not change what is true. When the early explorers believed that the Earth was flat, that didn't change the shape of the Earth. As they investigated further, they discovered their error and truth was made known to them and they accepted it.

1 John 1:1-3 states that God manifested his love toward us through his son Jesus Christ. Christ died on the cross to redeem the world from sin (John 3:16). If we turn from sin and accept his salvation, He will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Jesus was resurrected from the grave and conquered the one thing that Satan brought to this Earth--Death (through sin). Christ then ascended into Heaven and is inviting people to Him and interceeding on our behalf. There is salvation in no one else. Luke testified, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus testified of himself, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6).

Behold, Jesus will come again. His return is imminent. It will be literal. It will be visible by the whole world. It will be loud.

Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come (Matthew 24:42).
