Scripture Reading: Genesis 12 and the Call of Abram
- God commands Abram to leave his country and promises to make him a great nation (Genesis 12:1-4).
- Abram departs at age 75 with Lot, demonstrating obedience and dependence on God.
- God-dependent living requires understanding God and how to depend on Him.
- Building a relationship with God is achieved through learning and applying His word.
- Proper approach and invitation are essential components of depending on God for livelihood.
Core Components: Hearing, Heeding, and Hope in God-Dependent Living
- Genesis 12:1-3 emphasizes living a God-dependent life, not just a church-filled or Holy Ghost-filled life.
- First essential component: hearing from God; faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17).
- Second component: heeding—acting on what God says, as Abraham did in Genesis 12:4.
- Distractions (social media, environment) hinder hearing and heeding God; recommends minimizing distractions to focus on God.
- Warning against taking 'uninvited baggage' (e.g., Lot) when following God's direction; only take what God instructs.
Abraham, Lot, and the Dangers of Uninvited Baggage
- Heeding God's instructions requires action, not just listening.
- Abraham's delay in receiving Isaac (25 years) linked to distractions, especially bringing Lot.
- Bringing Lot caused strife, distractions, and setbacks (Genesis 13-14, 19).
- Lot's presence repeatedly forced Abraham off his assignment and into rescue missions.
- God's promises are individual; carrying uninvited people can hinder fulfillment.
Practical Steps, Encouragement, and Generational Blessing
- God-dependent living requires: hearing God's voice, heeding (obeying) what is heard, and maintaining hope.
- Faith is defined as the substance of things hoped for; hope is essential for faith to have substance.
- Documenting God's instructions and their outcomes builds unshakeable faith.
- God reinforces obedience by revisiting and encouraging those who depend on Him (Genesis 12:7).
- Distractions often follow divine direction; focus and obedience are necessary to overcome trials.
