TOPIC: PERFECT WALK WITH GOD
Read Genesis 17:1-4
1. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3. And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4. As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
MEMORISE: When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and blameless" (Genesis 17:1)
EXPOSITION
God is not a man who can joke with His words. When He required Abraham to walk before Him and be perfect, He meant what He was saying. Someone may say or think, "You mean twenty-four years of walking with God by faith, and Abraham was still not perfect in his deeds before God?" For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7). Immediately, Abram fell on his face, because he understood what God meant by his imperfection. Going in into Hagar, his wife's maid was not God's plan for fulfilling His purpose for him.
Can you pause and recall the number of years you've been walking with God? Have you been perfect before him? Can you remember your first love with in Christ? When you first gave your life to Christ, you loved Him, you liked to be in His presence, you enjoyed walking with and working for Him. What then happened to your faith in Christ? Why this sudden backsliding? Do you think God has forgotten or forsaken you? You mean, with all your years of serving Him, He has not fulfilled His promises?
This is good news for you, today: God will change your situation for better; you will celebrate. Only be perfect before Him.
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord Jesus, forgive me of all my imperfection before You.
2. Father, help the backsliders to return and remain in You from today on, in Jesus' name.
3. Let us pray for those who have been trusting God for miracles in one way, or the other, that our Lord should answer them, in Jesus' name.
EXTRA READING FOR TODAY: Jeremiah 50:18 - 51:34; Hebrews 9:9 - 10:1
