ABRAHAM THE FAITHFUL ONE. LET’S ANALYZE ABRAHAM’S FAITH.
BELIEVE IS TO KNOW BY FAITH NOW, THAT WHAT GOD SAYS IS TRUE. BECAUSE: “God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? ( Numbers 23:19 NKJV).
Hebrews 11:8 NKJV says:
“BY FAITH ABRAHAM OBEYED WHEN HE WAS CALLED TO GO OUT TO THE PLACE WHICH HE WOULD RECEIVE AS AN INHERITANCE. AND HE WENT OUT, NOT KNOWING WHERE HE WAS GOING.” To maximize your faith ,you must be obedient to God’s grace word
“NOW THE LORD HAD SAID TO ABRAM: “GET OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY, FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FROM YOUR FATHER’S HOUSE, TO A LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU.
I WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT NATION; I WILL BLESS YOU AND MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT; AND YOU SHALL BE A BLESSING.
I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU, AND I WILL CURSE HIM WHO CURSES YOU; AND IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.”
SO ABRAM DEPARTED AS THE LORD HAD SPOKEN TO HIM, AND LOT WENT WITH HIM. AND ABRAM WAS SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS OLD WHEN HE DEPARTED FROM HARAN.”( Genesis 12:1-4 NKJV).
Noticed when God told Abraham, what to do,he did so without thinking about it, because, he all out trust God,with all his heart. Furthermore, he knows that God doesn’t lie,and as the Bible says: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NKJV).
” (AS IT IS WRITTEN, “I HAVE MADE YOU A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS ”) IN THE PRESENCE OF HIM WHOM HE BELIEVED —GOD, WHO GIVES LIFE TO THE DEAD AND CALLS THOSE THINGS WHICH DO NOT EXIST AS THOUGH THEY DID; WHO, CONTRARY TO HOPE, IN HOPE BELIEVED, SO THAT HE BECAME THE FATHER OF MANY NATIONS, ACCORDING TO WHAT WAS SPOKEN, “SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE.”AND NOT BEING WEAK IN FAITH, HE DID NOT CONSIDER HIS OWN BODY, ALREADY DEAD (SINCE HE WAS ABOUT A HUNDRED YEARS OLD), AND THE DEADNESS OF SARAH’S WOMB.
HE DID NOT WAVER AT THE PROMISE OF GOD THROUGH UNBELIEF, BUT WAS STRENGTHENED IN FAITH, GIVING GLORY TO GOD,
AND BEING FULLY CONVINCED THAT WHAT HE HAD PROMISED HE WAS ALSO ABLE TO PERFORM.
AND THEREFORE “IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
NOW IT WAS NOT WRITTEN FOR HIS SAKE ALONE THAT IT WAS IMPUTED TO HIM,
BUT ALSO FOR US. IT SHALL BE IMPUTED TO US WHO BELIEVE IN HIM WHO RAISED UP JESUS OUR LORD FROM THE DEAD,..”( Romans 4 :17- 24 NKJV).
++ Let’s look at the facts of Abraham’s faith, he obeyed, he didn’t question God,when God tells him to go to a place that he is going to show him,no details, no specific location. Abraham trust God with all his heart, he never tried to figure things out by leaning on his own understanding. He was righteous according to God’s standard, and a righteous man is a bold man. As it says in the Bible; ” The wicked flee when no one pursues, BUT THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD AS A LION.”(Proverbs 28:1 NKJV).

” Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, LOOKING UNTO JESUS, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12: 1-2 NKJV).
” Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.🛐🙌🏽🛐 [Jude 1:24- 25 NKJV].
