As we read through Genesis chapter 22, we already know the end from the very beginning. We know that God was only testing Abraham to see how much he loved Him in comparism to Isaac. And we know what the outcome of the story was. Abraham passed the test and God blessed him. While the event that took place thousands of years ago has become a story today , we must always put ourselves in a constant remembrance that it was a real life situation that happened to a man like us.  At the point God was asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac on one of the Mountains in Moriah, Isaac was more like all that Abraham had. Abraham had become contented and fulfilled in his son (Isaac) who was his heir.  At this point, the Lord needed to check...

Text:Romans 11:35 Or who has first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? The Lord is asking us a very important question through our study text today. He is asking you, if you have given to him first, He will recompense you back. The height of all deception is to think that one can give to God first. There is nothing you have ever given or will ever give to God that you have not first received from Him. Today, we shall be looking closely at Abraham's response to God's demand of Isaac. To part with our children as  goodly parents can be a very tough decision.  Kris Vallotton of Bethel Church (USA) once shared his own tough experience where he had to release his two daughters to join other teens that would be going to minister in China. It was a difficult and deadly decision to make. His daughters however reminded him of how he has taught them about commitment and sacrificial living to God. He eventually allowed them. Though, they were confronted with challen...

Text:Romans 11:35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? God is the source of all life and all things both in heaven and on earth. No man has ever first given to Him.   *No man has ever given to God what he has not first received from Him.* Whatever you do or give in God's name is actually a by product of what you have received from Him.  Abraham, having waited for many years for the promised child, God  finally gave him Isaac. Few years after Isaac arrived, God went to Abraham saying "Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you." (Genesis 22:2). Before this time, the Lord had made it clear to Abraham that He is his shield and exceeding great reward. (Genesis 15:1). So, God came to test Abraham, to see if he is fully committed to Him to the extent of giving Him back what He gave first.  Firs...
