19 August 2018 - ENCS

Pastor Neli visiting from Brisbane did share on Genesis fifteen
From verse twelve on, an impactful dream by Abram was seen
Between the truth of God’s promise and circumstantial reality
In Abram’s life and often in ours, a big gap may appear to be
But most promises require a process before we see provision
Allowing God to strengthen us and to address our imprecision

Per verse thirteen, His promises can refer to future generations
Because His timeline is different from ours, we face frustrations
Remember the Israelites asked for a king and were given Saul
His character was not aligned so he ended up taking a big fall
On Egypt, God promised Abram that he would bring judgement
For the country as well as the world system is what God meant

God builds through us for generations to come, Neli did opine
Although a man of faith, Abram sinned via Ishmael’s bloodline
Abram would live to an old age, verses fifteen and sixteen state 
And in the fourth generation, the Israeli people would repatriate

God builds with us has two meanings, as Neli did give a view
All believers are living stones in God’s house, per First Peter two
And we are also God’s co-labourers, per First Corinthians three
Providing a foundation that others build upon is often our legacy
