No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be called Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.” Genesis 17:5
My dearest friends in Christ! What a joy it is to once again get in touch with you all through these blogs!
The Lord is indeed merciful and faithful in that, in these last days He has spoken to us through His own Son! (Hebrews1:1,2) and still continues to speak. I can’t imagine a day when we would be short of God’s Word and not know which direction to follow! (Amos 8:11,12; Proverbs 29:18).
The Lord clearly reminded me of one of the Enemy’s strategies from of old is devoid you of your vision! (2 Corinthians 4:4; John 10:10). And what a scary thing it is to lose one’s vision or literally the purpose of why you’re in existence.
When The Triune God made Mankind in His likeness (Genesis 1:26,27), He had a clear vision as to what this precious Creation of His would do. He gave them dominion over all other creatures for a reason (Genesis 1:28). When man sinned against God’s Word for him, all that he had and was placed in dominion over was taken over by the Enemy, the Devil (John 14:30).
In fact, it says in Romans 8:19, “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the Sons of God.”
When the Lord God called a few people as His chosen generation, He changed all their names – Abram to Abraham, Sarai to Sarah (Genesis 17:5,15), Jacob to Israel (Genesis 32:27,28) and out of that birthed a vision for each of them individually but ultimately the one which culminated in the Redemption Story of Creation!
