MESSAGE
Walking by Faith and not by sight is one of the most stupid acts believers engage themselves. Obedience to and relying on God's word tend to put our reasoning faculties on hold. We need to follow God almost blindly. We are passing through difficulties because we are still very much dependent on our skills, and wisdom. Our wisdom cannot work out the will and glory of God. When God puts us to test, He does not intend to draw us to sin as Satan does. God allowed Job to be tempted that he might appear not only a good man but a great man. Now after all the hardship Abraham had gone through, God allowed sharper temptation. Strong faith is often exercised with strong trials and it is put up on hard surfaces. The information which was a command came without warning and intense confidence only in God who now is trying the heart. "Take thy son not thy cattle, ram, cow. I must have their son not their servants. Not even that steward and I will not take Sarah either." It would have been very easy for Abraham to sacrifice himself leaving his son Isaac to fulfill the promise of making him Nations, or has God forgotten his covenant?
"Take thy son, thy only son Isaac whom the lovest and get thee into the land of Moraih and offer him there for a burnt offering up on the mountains which I will tell the of". Beloved, is it not surprising Abraham fearfully obeyed and did not rebel or give any excuse to justify or argue with God at least for God to know that it is not realistic? But he applied Faith to obedience and wholeheartedly went with God's command even without giving the wife the slightest of the information. Beloved, God's commandments must not be disputed but should be obeyed without consulting flesh and blood about them Good day.
