Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed

Two of Gods Angels arrived in Sodom. Lot invited them to his house where he welcomed them and feed them. The men from the city of Sodom knocked on Lots door wanting to have sex with them. Lot was against this wickedness. So Lot offers his two daughters to the men whom were virgins. The men were against this offering. The Angels grab Lot back into the house. The Angels struck the men with blindness while they were outside the door. The Angels asked Lot if he has family and to get them out of the city of Sodom because God was about to destroy it. Lot and his family was told to run and don’t look back. But Lots wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt. The city of Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. When Lot and his family left Zoar they lived in a cave. His daughters didn’t have children. So the daughters came up with a plan. They had gotten their father drunk and laid with him. Lot never knew what was going on. The daughters became pregnant. This would keep the legacy alive. The oldest daughter give birth to a son named Moab. The youngest daughter gave birth to a son named Ben-Ammi.

Chp. 20

Abraham and Abimelech

Abraham was camping in Gerar. Abimelech was the King. Abraham had told the King that Sarah was is sister instead of his wife. Abimelech sent for Sarah. God came to the King in his dream that night and told him that Sarah was married to Abraham. The King had not touched Sarah. Abimelech was upset that Abraham had lied to him. God knew Abimelech heart was pure. Hod gave Abimelech before he had committed a sin before God and his family. Abimelech gave Sarah back to her husband Abraham. Abraham bring a prophet prayed for Abimelech. The King gave Abraham sheep, cattle and servants. Abimelech told Abraham that they can live there. Abraham was also given thousand pieces of silver that’s so Sarah was vindicated. Now God healed Abimelech, his wife, maidservant’s and they we’re having babies again.

Chp 21

The Birth of Issac

God visited Sarah just in the year that he said he would. God kept his promise to Sarah. Sarah gave birth to a son name Issac. Issac was 8 years old when his dad Abraham circumcised him. Sarah told Abraham to get rid of Hagar (maid) and her son Ishmael. She didn’t want no slave child to share the inheritance with her son Issac. This pained Abraham because Ishmael was his son also. God told Abraham to do what Sarah told him to do. So Abraham packed them good and water and told Hagar to leave with her son. Hagar wandered off to the desert of Beersheba. Hagar left her son under a tree because she couldn’t take care of him and she needed to cry. The angel of God told her not to be afraid. God told her to get up and go hold Ishmael her son tight. I’m going to make of him a great nation. God opened her eyes and she saw the water. She went to the water and filled the canteen with the water. She gave her son the water to drink. God was with Ishmael as he grew up. He became a skilled archer. He lived in Paran wilderness. His mother had gotten him a wife from Egypt.

Gen 16-18 Smmary

Chp 16

God promises Sarai and Abram a child, but because it was taking a “long time” in Sarai’s eyes, she decides to take matters into her own hands. She decided to have Abram sleep with her Egyptian slave Hagar and build a family through her. Abram agrees.  Hagar conceives and birth a son named Ishmael.  However, once Hagar discovers she is pregnant, she began to despise Sarai and total chaos, confusion and disorder began to take place within the household.

Lessons learned –

When God speaks something, He is faithful to carry it out regardless of how long it takes.  I know this from personal experience.  He does not need our help in the process of bringing it to pass.  Remember God is omnipotent and omniscient.  Our part is to stay focused on what He has spoken.  Oftentimes what we don’t realize that in the process He is also developing something within us.  “Time” is never wasted with God. I have often heard that “time” is a trainer within itself.  Something to think about.

Chp 17

 

God appears to Abram and makes a covenant with him – a covenant of circumcision.  He instructs Abram that his name will no longer be Abram but Abraham and he will be the father of many nations and will be very fruitful, that kings will come from him.

God said that this covenant is not just with Abraham but his descendants after him for generations to come that they must keep the covenant.  The covenant was that every male among them should be circumcised.  It was indicated that as Abraham underwent circumcision, that it would be a sign of the covenant between him and God.

Sarai name is changed to Sarah. She is reminded that she will be blessed with a son and he is to be called Isaac. The Lord indicates that his covenant will be established with Isaac as well as his descendants after him. Abraham asks about Ishmael. The Lord replies that He will bless Ishmael, make him fruitful, that he will be father of 12 rules but the covenant will be established with Isaac.  On that day Abraham and every male in his household including Ishmael was circumcised.

 

Lesson Learned—

God is a God of order.  Although Ismael was the first born of Abraham, the Lord continued to follow through with His original plan and purpose that His covenant would be established with Isaac and his descendants and not Ishmael.

 

A covenant is an agreement  based on a relationship, a partnership, working alongside someone to accomplish a common goal together.  It is an agreement.  God has made a covenant through the promises in His word and desires for us to come into partnership with Him by fulfilling certain commitments, by trusting Him, seeking Him, relying on Him and obeying His instructions when He speaks.  

As we begin to come into a relationship and partner with God, He is able to work through us in order to accomplish His will in the earth and display His glory through us to others. 

 

Chp 18

Abraham receives a visit from three men and while there, one asks about Sarah and prophesied that about this time next year she will have a son.  Sarah was listening nearby, laughed and thought of her old age and that she was beyond childbearing years. The Lord asked Abraham, why did Sarah laugh at the thought of bearing a child in her old age.  For is there anything too hard for the Lord.

Lessons:

  God reminds us that He is the Lord Almighty.  He is omnipotent.  For He is able to do anything, anytime and any moment.  Just a reminder to stay encouraged on the things that He has spoken and promised.  Because there is no such thing as “too late” with God.

Genesis 12

God commanded Abram to leave his country to a land he will show him.

Abram obeyed the command of God. He started on the journey. When he got to Canaan ,God promised to give him the land. "To your offspring I will give this land '

Also Abram built an altar for the Lord .

Meanwhile in Egypt , Abram deceived Pharaoh .Telling him his wife was his sister. The chapter ended with Pharaoh discovering the truth and Abram leaving the land of Egypt.

Lesson derived :

God is happy when we obey his commands and also when we faith in him.

Also no matter any situation we should always believe the Lord will protect us. Abram was afraid for his life meanwhile Go d was there to protect him and his household .

Genesis : 13

There was strife between Abram's and Lot's men. There has been a huge increase in both their livestocks.

Abram decided to allow Lot have a choice of land to Live. Lot chose the Jordan valley while Abram dwells in Canaan.

Afterwards God renewed his promise to Abram . In verse 16 " I will make your offsprings as the dust of the earth ...

Abram later built an altar again for the Lord at Hebron .

The lessons

We must not be selfish and allow peace to reign any where we are . Abram even though he is way older than Lot allowed him to choose first.

Also Abram has the heart of worship as he often builds altars unto the Lord.

Genesis 14

Abram went to Lot's rescue. The king of Sodom and Gomorrah with other kings started a rebellion which however wasn't successful.

They were under the domination of the kings of Shinar, Ellasar and two other kings.

Abram rescued Lot and was able to defeat these powerful kings .

He had an encounter with Melchizedek (the priest of God most High ) . He gave him the 10th of the spoils of war .Meanwhile Abram displayed his lack of greed by not having a share in any of the spoils.

Lessons

Even though Abram was separated from Lot physically he still has a deep love for him .

We are to love our neighbour as ourselves.

Genesis 15

God asked Abram to look at the sky and count the numbers of the stars. He God promised to make Abram's seed as countless as the stars .

He was told not to be afraid.

Meanwhile God gave Abram a sign .God also promised Abram to live a long life.

Lessons

God understands our weaknesses. We should continue to keep our total faith in him.
