TOPIC: Abraham's Four Altars (4)

Genesis 13:18‬
[18] Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the terebinth trees of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to the Lord.

*Message*

In Genesis 13, some years after the incidents of Genesis 12, we could see that the LORD has blessed Abraham extraordinarily with abundant flocks, herds, and people, alongside Lot whom he attached to himself. It becomes obvious that the space can't contain Abraham's prosperity and that of Lot again, and a separation is imminent.

Now, Abraham being the elder has every right to choose the best parts of the land and direct Lot to anywhere he pleases. Nevertheless, Abraham graciously allowed Lot to make the first choice of the land. This revealed the truth that his spiritual altars had been schooling him in the self-centered lifestyle of God, sharpening him into a pleasant character.

*You see, you shouldn't be a believer with a fireful prayer altar but ugly characters. Your spiritual altars and practices should have pleasant effects on your personality and you should diffuse undeniable sweetness. As a believer, your spiritual altars and practices should school you in the way of the diffusion of the fruits of the Spirit.*

After his separation from Lot, God's word of assurances came to Abraham again, assuring him that all the land within his vision would be for him and his descendants. Abraham then erected his third altar (Gen 13:18) to soak into the peace the presence of God's word brings. As a Christian, build spiritual structures that help you enjoy the peace of the presence of God's word.

*Prayers*

Father, in the name of Jesus, open my eyes to see what needs to be separated from me in order to receive a glorious visitation from You.

All Tinubu supporters will never make heaven, as I am now in the sanctuary God to making this declaration may they never see anything good in this government. Amen.

Just wow!!!

My Worship is my Warship,
It is my battle place.

A place where I'm more than a conqueror!!!

When you pray, Jehovah sends answers.
When you praise/worship, He delivers Himself.

That's why David with all his imperfections was and is still the man after God's heart.

That is how I win my battles...

Show me directly where he claim he is God or where he says worship me

It is incredibly stupid for a black person from the Western coast of Africa to be claiming connections to a mythical character from the Middle East.

Abraham is a worshiper of a black stone in kabba 😂 😂

We don't waste time with a stone worshiper, 😂 😂

Have you slam your head to that black stone today?

The fact that Christian believe Jesus as the son of God and the fact that he never rebuke does that worshiped him suppose to makes you guys stop worshiping stone. 😂

Smile, My parents is a great follower of my religion and my religion teaches me not to lie unlike your religion that include lies as a mode of worship 😂

His people regard him as not a 'prophet'. Why not respect them and their belief.

If they call your mohamed names against your belief, I'm sure you'd pull out a dagger.

Objectively speaking, your religion is just like anyone else's. There exits no substantive evidence to exalt yours over the others

Careless about your opinion Mr atheist, it so funny how you people form all knowing when it comes to Christian matters, hope you quote the person I replied and says the same thing to him?


Hopeless troll.

It was smooth cos Abraham taught Isaac to always trust n obey God's instructions.

And Isaac believed in Abraham and even more after seeing the provision of ram that was eventually used for the sacrifice, having left home without one

Gen 22: 7-8

Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?" "Yes, my son?" Abraham replied. "The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"

Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together.
