obalola7: Noah Found Grace before God

Genesis 6

Introduction- In our last lesson, we learned about the history and descendants of the first man. In our lesson today, we will be studying about the plan for the destruction of the world with water, God's regret for man sins and Grace that Noah found before God.

Today's Study

At this time men had started to multiply with children on earth and God saw it and said he will not be struggling with man anymore. This was as a result of man continuous sin. Then God pronounce that human beings will not live more than 120 years anymore. However, there were giants on earth at that time that marry and gave birth to mighty men, but God noticed the wickedness of man and that he thinks of evil all the time. (Genesis 6:1-5)

Then God thought of destroying man and all living things that he had made because he regretted to have made man on the earth. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the lord. He was considered a just man, perfect in his generation and walked with God. (Genesis 6:6-10)

The entire world was corrupt and there was violence everywhere. Then God told Noah that the end of the human beings have come and that he should made himself an ark of gopher wood with a plan and dimension that God gave him. (Genesis 6:11-15)

Noah was to design an ark that has a window with about three stories. Then God told him that he will send a flood that will destroyed every living thing until they all die. But with Noah God made a covenant that he shall not die, but come into the ark with his family and his daughters inlaws . He is also to save male and female of every creature of the fowls of the air, aquatic and terrestrial animals. God also instructed him to store in the ark food for himself, family and the animals. Noah did as God commanded him. (Genesis 6:16-22)

Reflection

In our journey of life, we sometime sin and when we do God feels disappointed and would sometime punish us for our sins. It is also common for an innocent to be punished for the sin others committed or we are punish for the sin we know nothing about. That is why you hear that common saying "being at the wrong place at the wrong time." But when God is for you, he will protect you and select you out from such danger. Noah is an example of that. Instead of him to be destroyed with his generation for the sin he knows nothing about, he found grace before God. "4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (Psalm 91:4)

This aspect is what make some people to ask God, why me? When things happen, its sometime as a result of the sin of others and if we are not in good standing with God, we can be swept away with the consequence of other people's sin. That is why we should endeavor to make sure God is reflected in our thinking and in our mind. We should take God as daily dose by reading his word and praying everyday. So that his word can have effect in our lives. His promise for us is "8 I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye." (Psalm 32: 8 )

If God's guides us with his eyes and instruct us on where to go, definitely, he will pre-warn us about future danger. Instead of being part of danger, the spirit of God will prompt us to walk away and we will only hear of it but not experience it. He will make provision for our protection as he promised"20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast."(Isaiah 26:20)

However, it will take us to be Just and perfect in our generation to be selected for such a wonderful assignment and safety. The good thing is that, God can consider your faithfulness to save your children, family, uncle and relatives from danger, just as God did for Noah.

My prayer is that we will from today find grace, favor and mercy before the Almighty God.

obalola7: The descendants of Adam the first man

Genesis 5

Introduction- In our last lesson we learned about the accepted and rejected offering, the death of Abel and Cain as the first man to ever repent of his sin. In this chapter we will learn about the history of man, the descendants of the first man Adam.

Today's Study

God created the first male and female who are also known as Adam and Eve. Then gave birth to Cain and Abel who was killed by Cain and Seth was born when Adam was 130 years after the death of Abel. Adam live 930 years before he died(Genesis 5:1-5)

When Seth was 105 years he had Enos and other children and Seth died at age 912. Then Enos had Cainan at age 90 then had more children and died at age 905. Cainan when he was 70, had Mahallaleel and had more children before he died at age 910(Genesis 5:6-14)

Then Mahalaleel had Jared at 65 and he gave birth to more children and died at age 895. Jared then gave birth to Enoch when he was 162 years after which he had more children before he died at age 962. Then Enoch when he was 65 years gave birth to Methuselah, but he walk with God and God took him. He was the first man to be taken without death.(Genesis 5:15-24)

Methusalah when he was 197 had Lamech and later had more children and died at 969 years of age(as the oldest man that ever lived) Then Lamech at age 182 had Noah who was to comfort them in all their suffering, because of the ground that God had curse. And Lamech had more children and died at age 777. When Noah was 500 years old, he gave birth to Shem, Ham and Japheth. (Genesis 5:25-32)

Reflection

God is a good historian and director of all professions. While the world was being populated, God was specific with those special child that will represent their lineage as it was named in this chapter 5. This signify that God knows you by name and could tell how old you are. One thing to learn in this chapter is that, man's age are gradually reducing due to the first sin. But in all God is still interested in man.

He chose this people who will represent the lineage and descendants of Adam and as we continue to read, we will see that some people are peculiar and born for a purpose. You and i are peculiar people and a chosen generation just as 1 Peter 2:9 says "9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;".

As christian parents we should be mindful of the name we give our children. When Lamech had Noah, he named him Noah because they needed a comforter: "29 And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed." Genesis 5:29. Christian parents should endeavor to pray before naming their children and to name their children with Good name and intention.

May God teach us his word and help us do his will.
