April 5, 2019 Mountain of Fire Daily Devotional : TOPIC - Unwavering Faith (Trust and Obey)

- , , , ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

TOPIC -  Unwavering Faith (Trust and Obey) 
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Samuel 1-3; Luke 8:26-56
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 22:1-9
MEMORY VERSE: “Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.” – Isaiah 49:15

The MESSAGE:
The greatest challenge we often face is trusting God for who He is and that whatsoever He has promised, He will surely bring to pass. God had promised Abraham in Genesis 17:19 that Sarah shall bear a son, Isaac with whom He will establish His everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him. This promise forecloses any threat of premature death upon Isaac. God is certainly not in the business of deception since He can never be under any form of corruption to impress any man.
If indeed Abraham fully trusted God for His promise and the covenant, He would have no problem whatsoever in obeying His instruction to offer Isaac as a sacrifice unto Him. Abraham’s action was not a gamble nor reluctant obedience. He did not consult with flesh and blood neither did he question God concerning the earlier promise and covenant. He simply obeyed because he trusted God that He can never be wrong in His decisions. He left God to figure out how He would bring His promises to pass while he went ahead to carry out the latest instruction in his relationship with God.
Abraham did not know God’s intentions concerning the instruction neither did he realise he was under a serious test of his faith and commitment to God. He trusted God for the birth of Isaac but now he had to trust God for sparing Isaac’s life if the covenant would remain. It is one thing to claim to trust God’s word when waiting for something; it is quite another thing to trust and obey His word after it is received. This was a test of how much Abraham would obey God’s word. Would he cling to the boy now that he had him, or would he still obey and return him to the Lord? In other words, how far would Abraham go in obedience? Did he really believe that God would still keep His word and raise the seed of promise?
Abraham’s statement in Genesis 22:5 expressed unwavering faith, He told his servants “… I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.” Also in response to Isaac’s question: Where is the lamb? Abraham again revealed his faith: God Himself will provide. All Abraham knew was that God planned the future around Isaac and now that God wanted him to sacrifice Isaac, even though he could not reconcile the two, He would obey anyway. That is unwavering faith.
God’s intervention was so instantaneous. It shows that He never intended Abraham to go through with the sacrifice but that it was indeed a test. The Angel of the LORD stopped Abraham just as he took in his hand the knife to slay Isaac! Now God knew that Abraham would hold nothing back and that he did in fact fear God. To fear God means to reverence Him as sovereign, trust Him implicitly, and obey Him without question. A true worshipper of God holds nothing back from God but obediently gives Him what He asks, trusting that He will provide. Even when there seems to be no logic in God’s instructions, just trust and obey for God shall surely prove Himself in all situations, in Jesus’ name.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:FAITH IS UNQUESTIONING BELIEF.
PROPHETIC WORD:The Lord will give you pleasant surprises.
