Day 191 Reading: Isaiah 51:1 - Isaiah 53:12 While in Sunday School I was taught a song. I am sure you also know the song and many times one may even declare this song in prayer. The song was titled "Father Abraham". We declared how Abraham had many sons and I am one of them. Yes, God promised Abraham that he would have many descendants and this song helped birth that promise in us at a young age Genesis 12:1-3 . As a child of Abraham, every believer needs to understand the path trodden by Abraham.  Isaiah declares to God's children that they must look to the rock from which they are hewn from. Notice that Isaiah didn't speak of the root but the rock; not a pebble but a rock; not a leaf but a rock; not a liquid but a rock. A leaf can be blown by the wind to and fro, a liquid can change its state to gas depending on the heat applied, while a pebble may be crushed easily. A rock, on the other hand, is solid, unshaken while the forces and tempests of life blo...

Day 7 Reading Gen. 24:1-Gen. 25:34 God desires to bless with all things in all areas. As a child of Abraham this is my inheritance. Fruitfulness in every arena of life resulting in health, peace, joy, abundance, well being are all blessings that God has ordained and given to me. God cares for our relationships and Abraham understood that he had a responsibility to maintain covenant. Ensure you walk with those who will not steer you away from the place of living a committed life to God's standards in all areas of life. Learn to daily pray that God gives you success to accomplish His agenda. Understand that daily life is to be lived as a messenger of God. Each day God is sending me into the world to stand for Him. Abraham's servant who he sent reveals by his prayer his faith in the God of Abraham. Notice his prayer was made with a sign as an answer. There are depths in the walk with God. One who knows the voice of God will not seek for signs. A baby crying for milk j...

Day 6 Reading Gen. 20:1-Gen. 23:20 One of the joys of this new season is that God is constantly showing me that He is a speaking God. May God open my ears to hear Him continually. May my eyes also be open to see Him. We are introduced to Abimelech who takes Sarah and God immediately protected His own and defends Abraham by speaking to Abimelech. May God speak to those who have anything that is mine. Abimelech defends himself not by justifying himself but by reminding God of the people he, Abimelech, was the leader over and that they were a people who were seen as righteous. Charles be the kind of leader that God will seek to leave in authority even when you are mistaken genuinely in your actions.  Abraham was reprimanded by Abimelech, however, because of the instruction God had given Abimelech, Abraham left the place wealthy. There is a dimension of wealth that comes your way only as a result of God instructing people to give to you. This year get ready f...
