“Jacob’s Family Escaping
to Their Homeland”
Pastor Hiroyuki Anjiki

1. Jacob’s escape
* (1) One’s desire
(2) Environmental conditions
(3) God’s Word
(4) Opinion of trustworthy people
2. Laban’s pursuit
* Genesis 31:21 “fled” = Hide oneself at the risk of danger
* Genesis 31:24 “Keep it in mind not to condemn Jacob at all.” (Shinkyodo translation)
“Don’t talk to Jacob about good or bad things.” (Iwanami translation)
“Refrain from saying anything good or bad about Jacob.” (Sekine translation)
3. The covenant of Gilead
* James 1:17 “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (NIV)

Thoughts to share at mini church:
1. What are four points when seeking God’s heart?
2. Through God’s intervention, Jacob was protected from Laban’s pursuit. Have you ever experienced God’s protection?
