Messages on Genesis (Page 6)
Humility, Perseverance and Hope!
Regardless of the situation Joseph faced, whether over Potiphar’s house or a prisoner, he walked in righteousness and God prospered him. Joseph’s trust was in God and God was with him.
Don’t Grow Weary!
Through the challenges facing Jacob as he returns from exile, he remains strong – seeking reconciliation, praying and even wrestling with an angel through the night such that he might overcome!
Overcoming the Past
Jacob’s encounter with God brings a transformation, and Jacob leaves behind his past of deception and begins anew, walking in righteousness in all his dealings.
Praying in to Promises
God’s promises are true and sure. Even still, He calls us to partner with Him in prayer, believing He will bring His promises to completion. The body of Messiah must arise and to contend for righteousness and justice, and for the manifestation of God’s Kingdom on the earth!
As You Wish
The portion this week, and carrying over from last week gives us several examples of people who laid aside their desires for something greater and whose actions ultimately brought forth a bride for Isaac. And in this story we see a picture of the bride of Messiah being made ready for Him!
Do You Believe in Miracles?
We need to believe that God really can bring life from the dead! Even when it looks like a dream has ended, that things are over, there is yet hope because it’s not over until God is through!
Faith of Abraham
Abram had to leave behind what was dear to him so he could take hold of the blessings God had prepared for him. Abram had to choose to believe that what God said was good for him really was good for him. Then he had to go, both for himself and for a higher purpose.
Redeemed Through Righteousness for Righteousness
Through the righteousness of one man, mankind is saved for a world being made new for those who hide themselves in the Word of God and walk in righteousness.
You Must Rule Over Sin
Man’s temptation is to determine what is good based on their own understanding rather than listening to what God has said is good. But the heart is deceitful above all things (Jeremiah 17:9). We must rule over sin, turn from it in repentance and walk in the light of God’s Torah!
God Remembers His Promises
As we wait for Messiah to return, may we endure with faith and hope, knowing that God is faithful to keep His promises. One day we will hear the sound of the Great Teruah, the Great Shofar, and behold the coming of Yeshua our Messiah, who is the Promised Seed!
