Blessings from Above ☝️ Abraham, Passing on a Spiritual Inheritance

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

Isaiah 38:19

The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

ABRAHAM DID NOT ONLY LEAVE MATERIAL WEALTH FOR HIS CHILD. HE PASSED ON THE TORCH OF FAITH TO ISAAC. ABRAHAM TOOK TIME TO INSTRUCT HIS SON IN THE WAY OF THE LORD.

Genesis 18:17-19

And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do; 18Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

ISAAC AS A YOUTH KNEW WHAT WAS REQUIRED FOR WORSHIP, FROM A TENDER AGE HIS FATHER MADE HIM TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WORSHIP OF GOD

Genesis 22:5-8

And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye hear with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you. 6And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together. 7And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? 8And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Deuteronomy 6:5-7

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Proverbs 22:6

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Ecclesiastes 12:1

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them

THE PRODIGAL SON REMEMBERED HOME ‼️ IF THERE MIGHTY BE SOMEONE TODAY WHO GREW UP IN THE WAY OF THE LORD WHO MIGHT HAVE WONDERED AWAY FROM GOD, COME BACK TO THE GOD OF YOUR CHILDHOOD

Luke 15:17-20

And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger! 18I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee, 19And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants. 20And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

Romans 5:6-8

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

SONG

I’ve wandered far away from God, Now I’m coming home; The paths of sin too long I’ve trod, Lord, I’m coming home. Coming home, coming home, Nevermore to roam;

Open wide Thine arms of love; Lord, I’m coming home.

2

I’ve wasted many precious years, Now I’m coming home;

I now repent with bitter tears,

Lord, I’m coming home.

3

I’m tired of sin and straying, Lord, Now I’m coming home;

I’ll trust Thy love, believe Thy word; Lord, I’m coming home.

4

My only hope, my only plea, Now I’m coming home; That Jesus died, and died for me;

Lord, I’m coming home.

5

I need His cleansing blood, I know, Now I’m coming home;

O wash me whiter than the snow; Lord, I’m coming home.
