Abraham: Faith under siege | Diet 7

 


Faith Refuses to Be Bought

In Genesis 14:23, Abraham said to the king of Sodom, "I will not take from a thread even to a shoe latchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich." Faith refuses the unholy. All the wealth belonged to Abraham; he won it at war; it was his, but he gave it all back to them, despite that, he was one of the richest men on earth.

Read the life of Abraham and you will find that he was one of the richest men on the earth. If somebody said, "Show me where people in the New Testament were rich," you only need one verse, Galatians 3:29. "And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." We are the seed of Abraham by faith. He made it everywhere, and you can do the same thing. Do you believe it? Yes! That your spiritual reality. 

You don’t have to manipulate it, or fall to the deception of the devil to get wealth, you are already rich in Christ, Abraham’s blessing becomes yours, not only eternal life, but earthly wealth,  it’s a tool for the kingdom of God here on earth.

Refuse to be bought by the lies of this age, not every good offer is godly, be diligent to walk by faith.

 Faith is refusing booty and bounty belonging to the devil. Just say, "No, I'm not interested!”

He did not feel that his son had to climb the social ladder in Sodom. If he had gone down there he would  probably have married one of Lot's daughters. Raising a son with the right people, that is faith.  Isaac stood by the altars of Abraham and watched God move in his father's life and said, "That's the religion I want, just like daddy's." Most of us never identify faith when it comes to raising a family. I am sure it is a great part of training any family. It will not work in the pulpit if it does not work at your house. Lots of people only want pulpit faith, but God is looking at your bedroom; He knows all about what is going on behind closed doors. Abraham did not send Isaac to the learned, liberated university of Sodom. He did not study chemistry in the classes of Gomorrah wh...
