THE BIG MOMENT

Text : Gen 18:2 ISV 

He glanced up and saw three men standing there, not far from him. As soon as he noticed them, Abraham ran from the tent entrance to greet them and bowed low to the ground.

Everything big starts small. The human race, with our vast population today started with a man. The tallest man on earth started out as a baby. But a number of times, man is impatient to wait for the big moment. As a matter of fact, people miss opportunity for their big moments because they disdain the "little moments" along their path.

Your big moment is your appointment with destiny,  a time ordained for you to fulfil your God Ordained destiny. 

God promised Abraham that he will be father of many nations. Obviously, Abraham had to start by fathering a child first.

At the fullness of time, God wanted to launch Abraham into his big moments,  but Abraham had to pass the test before he can fully qualify to be called the Father of many nations. The episodes that followed depicts the steps that can lead you to your big moment :

1.) It will happen on a normal, usual day. _Later, the LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks belonging to Mamre. As Abraham was sitting near the entrance to his tent during the hottest part of the day,_ day.Gen 18:1 ISV.  
God will not announce  your date of big moment to you, otherwise you will put on a facade. That's why we are admonished in Galatian 6:9 not to get tired of doing what is good, for at the right time we will reap a harvest—if we do not give up.

2.) Your helpers are positioned around you. _He glanced up and saw three men standing there, not far from him._  In verse one of our text, it was clear that it was the Lord who appeared to Abraham. (Read Gen.18:1 again) But what Abraham saw in verse two were men. 

Note that God sometimes appear in human form to relate with man, that's why we are encouraged to be good to strangers. 
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

Watch out for the people God has positioned around you, your actions and inactions towards them could make or mar you. Be good to people on your way up you may need them on your way down.

One good way to show you love God is by loving the people around you.  Remember that your neighbors are everyone within your circle of influence. Luke 10:27-37.

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1John  4:20.

If Abraham had pretended as though he didn't see those strangers,  he would have missed his divine timing for God's blessings. He would have missed his big moment.

Opportunity to step into your big moment might be wrapped in an uninviting parcel,  Pray to God for wisdom not to miss it or look down on it.

Tomorrow,  we shall look into some of the other steps that could launch you into your big moment.


Bible Reading : Genesis 18: 1-33.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
