1:11of Habeshti in the capital of Habeshti in the capital of the capital of Habeshti. And now to today's message. Let's take our confession from Joshua 1 verse 8. Let's book of the Lord, Shano departs out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in 8 days and nights. And I may observe to do according to all that is written in it. But then I will make my way prosperous and then I will have good success in May. So I don't take your seats and express and say Hallelujah. Amen. So we are continuing with our lessons and I hope that we will just look at the life of Abraham. Amen. And so you see Abraham in his journey with God at certain stages God will come and re-itreated the covenant and then give next step.

2:16If you don't take the first step, the second step is not going to come. You are talking about the pathway to define well. You have to take the first step. You decide like I also, you can't decide that as for your type, you won't call it type. Call it what you want by your own. Call it generous offering or superfluous offering. Because the principle is what is so generously new, you reap general. So if you understand this principle, you are not going to debate with God about giving him 10%, 10%, type in 10%. And then you get to enjoy the 90% and you want to debate God on it. How you get in it? When the New Testament is very clear, general sewing guarantees general's reaping. Hallelujah. And it applies to time, time and time and treasure. No of us sometimes think that my work generally so tired that I can't have time to say God. The principle who has long as this earth remains, see time and have a shine never sees before God.

3:16You so time, God who creates time for you to be able to complete and finish up your chores. Amen. They are the same when I was working in the hospital. In the days that I know I have to go to check and I know that I'm going to run the cleaning. I go early. I go early. I go and do my rounds when that's so we can gain that time. Because I know that if I go the normal time, probably I'll be late and I'm not going to be able to make it. So God will show you Hallelujah. Amen. So what did Abraham have to do to bring him to that divine world? That's what we have said. He left country, he left Kindred, he left fathers house, he separated himself. And God also unlearned him at every stage in the journey with God. God brought in fresh instruction that immediately he did it. Then it was being Hallelujah. That's them. That the fourth point, you know them. That in Israel specifically, he told them go in and possess the land by military force.

4:22And so Joshua did it. And he says, all the promises that God promised. It wasn't only. Amen. When they went in, maybe it was post summer, if you look at the narrative. So the people and the nations, they are harvested. It says the bands that they went, you know, they were sharing. And so when you go to the home that they will be assigned, when you go and you go to the kitchen, the kitchen is fully stocked with food. Hallelujah. Microwave is there. And refrigerator is there. You just think about, if you like potatoes, potatoes is there. Hallelujah. And that's why God was saying, you didn't work for it. I did it for you. Divine will of you realize that look, it outstrips your output. It's by faith. Your workplace, your boss who are assigned a setting salary for you. And you say, this is crazy. I don't deserve it. It is God. That's how it does. Hallelujah. Or business, faith, a setting contract will come. And then you are just wondering where from this God, Hallelujah.

5:26And God can never lie. God is on oath to bless us. So that's the last point there. He said, the Lord swore to your father to give you this. God is on oath to bless, to increase, and to multiply us in our families. So long as we meet the terms of the covenant and working obedience. He maintained his own words. And God cannot lie to us. He may rush, shake in the end in the heart of the heart. Now, have this point here. It's the point that I was making to the system. And then I know seed ever dies in the hands of God. Or under his watch. Let me take it again. No seed ever dies in the hands of God. Or under his watch. You never get less time, talents or treasures to spend on yourself. And your legitimate interests. Just because you gave some proportion of your three teeth to God. Can I take it again? Very, very important.

6:26No seed ever dies in the hands of God. Or under his watch. And you never get less time, talents or treasures to spend on yourself. And your legitimate interests. Just because you give some proportion of your three teeth to God. That's all I've been saying. Just capturing it in way. Hallelujah. Tend to someone. Is there nothing about diminishes in the hands of God? Hallelujah. He may now let me make this other point. Regular giving to God. Whether it's the same thing I'm making it, putting it in different ways. So it can register. Regular giving to God. Whether typing or free offerings will never diminish the reserves of your wealth. Or resources. You believe it? Hallelujah. You can, I can tell you. You can give whatever is in your pocket now today. And say I'm going to work home. Including your lunch and your breakfast tomorrow. And as you are going, I cannot show you here what they've finished in the day that I do.

7:27Why did I do this? Meekra. You know, I'm sure pasta. Actually, they've been listening to pasta. A to tomorrow, what will I do? Baradhas, you are going to say, God, I know you are the possessor of heaven and the earth. Make those positive, compassionate. You said as long as this earth remains, see time and habits. They are not. Hallelujah. I never see this before you. And then watch it. Whether you eat tomorrow or not. Tomorrow, if you don't, eat, come and tell me. Let me out. I'll fulfill the promise. I'll give you something. Hallelujah. And nullify the negative lies of the devil. It just works. God is gracious. God is gracious. God is, God is magnanimous. God is our beneficiary. And he is a very, very good God. Hallelujah. So nothing ever diminishes. If you do, you believe it in God's hand, red glare giving to God, your type, your free offense, it will never diminish the reserves of your wealth or resources.

8:28Hallelujah. Amen. But then let's remember that the promise of increase and blessings in the hands of God is promised on the understanding that you are a covenant child of God, working in grace and obedience. That is so crucial. You want to see and validate the way of God, look, working obedience. Now, I'm going to compromise. He's all in it. He can't work with you if you are working in this obedience. He can't fulfill his vow. He needs to draw clues to give you those specific instructions that will get you to that play. So you live and multiply and not die. So your finances will not die. When it is diminishing, should I, you know, and like this is the suggestion, should I withhold no? It will run dry. You must, you, when it is diminishing, then God is setting you up for a miracle. Say a big amen. Hallelujah. Amen. Abraham was willing to give God.

9:30Let's look at that story. As I said, this is Abraham. Abraham started it all. Hallelujah. And God, unmade every promise, every covenant promise that he spoke to Abraham. Let's look at how this amazing patriarchy got into the blessings every time we hear people. So we want to come into Abraham and make covenant blessings. When you are you prepared to do what Abraham did? Now I confess it and when you believe it, we like it when it is so, it is coming on you pray and then we all be praying. The blessings of Abraham. Are you prepared to do what Abraham did? Okay, let's look at that story. Genesis 22, you know, Hallelujah. So as I've said, this is been progressive. But now God is about to do the biggest thing in his life. How have you been getting it? So you want to come into well divine world and we are seeing it.

10:31Isaac, that's why the fact that Abraham left all the blessings to him. And then I said, why did you pump Isaac like that? The man who got all the legacy from Abraham, all Abraham's blessings were passed on to Isaac. And then now we are reading in Genesis 26 that the man began to prosper and God continued to prosper. Until he became so prosper. So you can't imagine. And Isaac was a very spirit-filled man. As we read this story, it's very interesting. Scholars believe that at the time that God was testing Abraham, you know, I mean, there is a disagreement anyway. Because the man, Sarah died at 127, he met and Isaac was born at 90 years. So when Sarah died, Isaac was 37. So between his birth and 37 years, that's when this particular sacrifice was demanded of Abraham.

11:32But scholars have believed that maybe conservatively, maybe around 25. Because he was called a lot. So a young boy, you know, but there isn't, there's a lot of speculation around it. But let's look at it. It came to pass after these things. And that was when this is chapter 22, 21 in chapter 21. That was when Isaac was born. So just one chapter later, now here comes God to Abraham. But the point is very kind of God tested Abraham. So given life, you want to enter into wealth creation, divine creation, God will test you. God will test you. But at this point in time, he had brought him, you know, that far. And if you like, he built up his faith for this big test. And he said to him, yeah, I am. Then he said, take now your son, your only son, Isaac whom you love. And go to the land of Muraya and offer him there as a bent offering in one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.

12:35If you are said, yes, son, you can be sure. Each man would have been grabbed Hallelujah. But I said, your Isaac, your Isaac. So sometimes you are in prison and then we are saying give, give. And then immediately your mind will flush. Or you open your past and then there is bread. Which one is the bread? One Ghana. 200 through his day. Then the blue, five Ghana, the brown. And then you immediately offer him and some of us we have given one CD of bread for a long time. Every time you go in, then the red one, one Ghana. Now you are growing, the Lord you are maturing and then now he is whispering. And he says, son, daughter, you want to get into that place of increased multiplication? One Ghana is not going to take you there. I assure you. Say amen to that. Hallelujah. So he said, take your son, your only son Isaac whom you love and go to the land of Muraya.

13:35And of him there as a bent offering. And one of the mountains of which I shall tell you. So look at that. So Abraham rose. Early in the morning. Early obedience. Early in the morning. I'm sure some of us that day, that's the day that we will sleep more and be tossing in bed. This dream, this, this that I hear God not only we got it, my only son. Yes, we can say my only son. I should know this one. No, no, no. But early in the morning, he rose up the speed, the speed, the speed. With which we obey divine commandments. If you delay, then something else will come and then early in the morning. Abraham rose up. Saddle is donkey. Now look at that. When I was reading this, I was smiling. Saddle is donkey and took two of his young men with him. And Isaac his son. And he split the wood for the bent offering.

14:37And a rose and went to the place of which God had told him. Let's go on. Then on the third day, it's down there. So then on the third day, we are in verse four. Abraham left that his eyes and saw the place afl. That walk three days, three days. And yesterday he was going. He had three good days to change his mind and go back. That was a dream. And dreams are not realistic. And Abraham said to his young men, stay here with the donkey. The lad and I will go on that. So that's where some tyolodians by whose call is this thing that he was a lad. So young age, I don't really say it. Whatever it is, stay here with the donkey, the lad and I will go on that. And worship. And he said, we will come back to you. Look at six. That's what I was looking. So Abraham took the wood of the bent offering and laid it on Isaac's son. And he took the fire in his son.

15:39And then I would have left the knife behind. Hallelujah. And the two of them together. Amen. And the knife meaning that he was committed to doing it. Have you ever felt like you are going to let if I told you that Sunday we're going to do fun raising. Everybody bring your checkbook, bring your pass. Make sure your momo account is active. Hallelujah. Leave your phone in the house. And then take some one city and put it in your that and then you when you reach the filling station. Can you have twenty cities? Can you give me one city ten so that at every call are we able to give one gun. If they do ten calls, are we present? Hallelujah. So he took the knife was so committed. Abraham was committed. And the two of them went together. But Isaac spoke to Abraham and his father and said, my father. And he said, yeah, yeah, my son.

16:39Then he said, look, the fire and the wood. My way is the lamp for a bent offering. And Abraham said, my son, God will provide for himself the lamp for a bent offering. So the two of them went together. We know about how God hates human sacrifice. And yet still, Abraham was convinced that he knew the voice of God. Remember what God had called God had called him. Genesis chapter 12, no child. God had an enemy at the end. He had blessed him. He had even spoken by this time of the four hundred years that would be spent in Egypt in a foreign land. And that slavery. God had given him a lot and he was having all these interactions with God. Like that it was not possible. Now God will come and say the very, very person that this all these blessings were going. To be activated.

17:39To be slaughtered and offered as an offering in the sacrifice. When God hates human sacrifice, it was very tough on Abraham. And yes, still, because he knew the voice of God, he knew he had to just go alone. And some scholars will say some of the responses that he was giving to Isaac that God will provide for himself. The lamp for a bent offering. That was prophetic with an expert. And yesterday it took the night just to show her that he was prepared to do now. Let's continue whether how how how willing was he or whether he was hesitant and all that. So when they came to the place, verse nine of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there, placed the wooden any bound Isaac. That's why scholars will say Isaac was so so compliant and and a man of faith. You know that at his age, you know, he should have run away. He didn't even struggle with his dad.

18:40Now if it has to be done, then I'm going to cooperate. That's why they will say Isaac is like a typology of Jesus Christ. Jesus knew what was going to be crucified. That if it has to be done, he said, not the last, not my will, but let your will be done. And God raised him up again. And in Romans chapter four, the Bible comments on this. Abraham knew that God raised Isaac again. Now 10, and Abraham stretched out his hand and took the night to slay his son. By the annual of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, Abraham, Abraham. So he said, yeah, yeah. And he said, do not lay your hand on the lot or do anything to him. For now, I know that you fear God. You revere him. You will obey his every express commandment. Since you have not withheld your son, your only son from me.

19:41Then Abraham left his eyes and looked and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by his dog. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a bent offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place. The Lord will provide Jehovah Jireh as it is said to this day in the mount of the Lord. He shall be provided. Now there's that section that I like so much I want to take note. And the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven. And he said, by my swear, by myself, I have swung, declines the Lord. Because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will surely bless you. I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sun that is on the sea shore.

20:41And your offspring shall possess the gates of the enemies. Now you can see what was happening in Moses' time, 400 years later. The sea that he saw, God is on earth that I will bless you. Let's look at the commentary. The commentary on it is in Hebrew 6, 13 to 15. Now he says that, From when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, say, surely I will bless you and multiply you. And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained a promise for people swear by something greater than themselves. And in all, there are disputes on earth and earth. It's final for a convey. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heads of the promise, the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath,

21:42so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. This is the Bible's commentary on what Abraham did that day. And God came there and said, I will surely bless you and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven. And as the sun that is on the sea shore, and your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies. And in your offspring shall all the nations of the earth be blessed because you have obeyed me. Or because you have obeyed me. You want to come into the Bible. Well, there's order. That's what we've been talking about, order in giving. Abraham had one son, one son, the promise there, all the just imagining Isaac had died.

22:47And Abraham had rose up and came back down the mount of Moriah and met the boys there. He said, you know, guys, let's go. No speech. I can't talk about this. Oh, can you imagine all the things that he did. All the covenant that is God that day, God said bring me an hypha, bring me this. He brought it, slaughter it, slaughter it, keep watch. And then he said he saw a torch going through and all the dreams, everything would have been nullified. Go to the pool himself as a liar and a deceiver. Can you imagine him going back to Uru? Or is he a whole, that place? Hallelujah. Where he left several years ago and said that God has said that I should follow him to an unknown place and that is going to bless me. Hey, the damn next day, that needed to have been done.

23:48So what about that's Abraham. And we saw the life of Moses and the Israelis. Now God said because of Abraham, what he did and I am on off. I am on off. Now, can we now go in now and then covet the blessings of Abraham? You and I, New Testament believe it. God is on off. He said, I swore. Amen. God is on off. He said as long as this every man, sick time and harvest, shall not cease. If you give, he says now, if you sow beautifully, you rip beautifully. And if you sow sparingly, you rip sparingly. And now he said, look, guys, you cannot save God and my mom. Either you're going to be faithful to one and unfaithful to the other. You can't save God and my mom together. You have to choose. But then the blessings that we need to be able to do all the things that God has commanded us to do.

24:52He won't sit in his hands. And he of all, we have all these promises. The promises of God as in scholars of God is over 7,000 promises in the way of God. As to what God says, he won't do. But beloved, they are all premise on the spirit of obedience. And that's why we see, even when you have no head in anything. My son, my son, my daughter, you know something from today going, I am sparing you from typing. And then he says, the principles of the way. So no matter what somebody else will say, or you hear, or the arguments that you make, you, the child of God, that God has spoken to, you're your quiet and God has whispered to you already. Then you know, you know about the thing about the giving thing is that, when you're in the presence of God and is there and he said, none shall appear before me, empty handed.

25:53And you just know that when you are going to say, I need to get an offering to go and pay homage to the king. It's intrinsic. You just know that I must do it. And sometimes you give the offering and you know, or just before you give it, you take it and you just know that, no, no, no, this is not the fitting of the king. And all that he has been doing for me, after all he owns it all. The silver and the gold are heads. And he says that when I saw our rip, he said, bring it all the types. Bring it all the offerings that will be meeting my health. Try me and see, even I'm not going to open. The windows of heaven and pour you out. Such blessing that they shall not be roomy enough to receive it. Order him given. God says, Me face. Me second. Me last. Seek he face the kingdom of God. And it's righteous. And all these other things he says, I know. I know you need them.

26:54It is the things that the people of the world, they go chasing after. And I know you need them. But, seek me face. And all these things shall be added unto you. Hallelujah. Amen. Oh, Jesus, you want to come into Abraham, a covenant, blessings. There's going to be a demand from God. Shall we rise up?
