Opportunities

Shalom my friends! As I was studying this subject, God led me into the book of Genesis. There I saw a powerful message which I want to share with you.
 
God never fails and through the years of my walk with God, I've seen His faithfulness, mercy, love and power. We are serving a God who answers prayers. Today let me take you further into our Biblical journey to see this truth.
 
God creates opportunities that lead us to His provision. This way we are fully involved so that we can trust in Him. In Genesis 12:7, the Lord then appeared to Abraham and said “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there he built an altar to the LORD, who has appeared to him. Where in verse 10, we read, “that now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to dwell there, for the famine was severe in the land.”God brought Abram to the land He would give to his descendants as an inheritance and three verses later there was a famine on that land. God had created the famine as an opportunity for Abram and his family to go Egypt and bless him there. Genesis 13:1-3, “Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South. Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.”
 
My next point is in Genesis 15:13-14, Then He said to Abram, “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them for four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterword they shall come out with great possessions. As you see in this verse, our God has created an opportunity for Israel so that just before He would lead them to the Promised Land, the Lord would bless them with great possessions.God creates opportunities to bless you. You may ask why God would do this in order to bless you. It is because our life belongs to Him and everything we are involved in, He does for us.
 
My next example in these teachings is Isaac. His birth was a miracle. Isaac became a seed-faith of Abraham who believed God, as it says in Romans 4: 19-21, “And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” God has created an opportunity for Abraham to believe by giving him a child when he was already one hundred years old and Sarah’s womb was barren.
 
In Genesis 26, verses 1 & 12 we find another remarkable example of how Isaac was blessed, “There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, in Gerar.” Verse 12, “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.” God would bring you right through the famine just to give you an opportunity to sow your faith-seed so that you would receive your hundred fold blessings in the time of famine!
 
In Genesis 37:3 we read, “Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors.” God took Joseph away from Jacob as a seed for the future blessings and prosperity of Israel in Egypt. It was through Joseph that God brought Israel in the time of a severe drought to Egypt to have bread. It was through Joseph that God has prepared Egypt to prosper when the drought started. Joseph became an opportunity for Israel to be saved! And at last, our Messiah, Lord and Savoir Jesus is a seed that was sown by God Himself to set us free from sin that we may have a complete victory! As we went through these teachings, can I encourage you to stand firm and know that God is going to bring to you His blessings through each opportunity. He is leading you today. Have faith and receive your blessings!
 
We love you and shalom!
Rabbi Gennady.
