The
first two verses tell us that God appeared to Abraham. He had appeared to him earlier
in Chapter 17. The encounters of
Abraham were for a reason. God wants intimacy and friendship with his children.
Exposition
And said, My Lord, if now
I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant – An encounter with God will lead to a turnaround in the life of
any man. Destinies are awakened and stagnation becomes a thing of the past.
Read Isaiah 6: 1-8 and see a man
come unto himself. He realised his spiritual state and at the same time got his
matching orders. His life was never the same again.
Abraham recognised this and invited the Lord into his home. Jesus
is knocking on the door of your heart. Jesus does not force himself on people. Jesus
comes in and prepares a table before you in the presence of your enemies. He
anoints your head with oil and your cup starts to run over. Open the door and
the story of your life begins afresh. Jesus is able to meet every need.
The first requirement is to be born again. Do not delay.
Prayer
I accept the Lordship of Christ. Thank you for
washing away my sins.
Come my way now O Lord. I am desperate for you.
Come into my life, come into my home. Beautify me O Lord. Talk to me, let me
hear from you. Let my life be renewed afresh, my Father and my King. Favour me
my Father. Do not depart from me, for in your presence is fullness of joy and
at your right hand, there are pleasures for evermore. Let it be so in my life
in Jesus name.
