Genesis 12:1-20, 13:1 20:1-13


Abraham heard the voice of God saying, "Abraham come out of your father's house and go to a place I will show you. I will bless you and give you a huge lineage. Abraham believed and shared the news with his next of keen. His obedient wife agreed to go with him his nephew Lord excitedly accepted to follow him. Where was Abraham going to with all his followers? He didn't know! If it was in our time; I doubt if the wife would have accepted to go with him let alone the nephew. The idea would have sounded weird and people would have suspected that the man probably had some kind of mental illness. But Abraham the Father of Faith was different....He followed God's voice. Out there they arrived in Canaan, a desert place and lived in Tents. They were all starngers in a foreign land and people mistrusted them. Then, while there....drought hit the land, and they would not go back to their home probably because people would laugh at them.... then he heard that a neighbouring country Egypt had plenty of food, so he decided to go to that foreign land to find food. On arrival another danger occured to Abraham...he feared for his dear life. He told his wife when we arrive in that foreign land and when people ask you what relations I have with you, tell them you are my Sister so that through you I may live. His wife was so beautiful and he knew that the King might get him killed so he can take his wife. Sarah, Abraham's wife when told the King that Abraham was her brother, and the King was happy... He gave Abraham lots of gold and flock, but the Lord plagued pharah and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abraham,s wife. The King complant to Abraham for lying to him and sent him away with all he had. Again Abraham was confronted with a similar incident and he had to lie again to King Melchizedech who took Sarah to the place, but God spoke to Melkizedek and warned him that he was going to be dead meat if touch Abraham's wife. When Abraham was asked the next day he defended himself saying he did not lie, Sarah was his step Sister, same father, different mothers.
Abrham was loyal to God but he also had human weakness, he valued his life when he came accross mighty men in high possitions and he his wisdom he did his part to live for tommorow. In each scenario God came to Abraham's rescue and saved the situation. As the Children of Abraham by faith, we ought to trust in God and let him do his will in our lives. Be blessed in Jesus mighty name.
