Title: Principles that Ensure God's Promise Is Fulfilled
Text: Genesis 24:1-8
Introduction
This Bible text presents something unique. What was the promise God gave to Abraham? God promised Abraham that he will be the father of many nations but there was a problem. Abraham was already very old and his son Isaac was 40 years old, not married and without a child.
Abraham had to do something for God's promise to be fulfilled. He sent his servant to his relatives in search of a wife for his son.
STEPS TO THE FULFILMENT OF THE PROMISE
There were steps Abraham took to ensure the promise was fulfilled. What are the steps to fulfilling the promise?:
1. Do not Take the Easy Road
Abraham knew that his son's wife could not come from the Canaanites. He made his servant promise him he was not going to take the shortcut, take a woman from around. The easy way out is dangerous. Always follow God's principles, even when you don't understand why.
2. Donot Depend on your Own Understanding
The servant had knowledge of Abraham's expectations. He prayed for God's divine direction. He had strategise but still knew only GOD could help him. When you turn to GOD, things will fall in place.
3. Remember to Always Return the Glory to God
He returned the glory back to God. The destinies of generation depend on that single decision. God promises cannot be fulfilled outside him. Abraham knew what God told him.
God bless you!
