CHAMPIONS OF FAITH:- 4. ABRAHAM
(Hebrews 11:8-10 NLT)
# It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance.
# He went without knowing where he was going.
# And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents.
# And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise.
# Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God.
@ Abraham's faith gave him the heart to obey God and to leave the inheritance of his earthly father.
@ He couldn't settle down in any particular place and was only living in tents (temporary shelter) as a foreigner.
@ Even though he had the provisions to built a solid building, he didn't.
@ He was patiently enduring and waiting for God's destined place for him.
# Will you be ready and willing to leave the current comforts of life, if God tells you?
# What we have now (our assets and possessions) are all temporary.
# So, don't put your heart and soul into it.
# Don't boast about what you have. In no time, God can take it away.
# Don't be worried over your needs and what you don't have. In no time, God can give you.
# Our destined dwelling place is with Jesus. Let's be prepared and remain prepared to inherit that permanent dwelling place...
