TREM DEVOTIONAL FOR 17TH DECEMBER 2024
God came to Abram one day and called him out. He was 75 years old, and God was starting a new thing with him. God had a great plan for Abraham, but he had to go through a process where he had to trust God completely. He must go through the process to qualify as the father of nations.
If you read the account of Abraham in Genesis 15 & 16, you will notice that he came to a point where doubt set in. The scripture tells us that even Sarah organised a maid for him, and
he went into her, but that was not God’s plan. Sometimes, because you are not ready for the process, you want to have a plan B and abort what God planned. You will be surprised how many people have aborted what God purposed for them.
After Ishmael was born, God withheld speaking to Abraham for many years. But in Genesis 17:1, the bible says, “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to
Abram and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me and be thou perfect.” In other words, Abraham, stop vacillating between two opinions. Rest in Me and let Me perfect what I have purposed concerning you. I will make My covenant with thee and will multiply thee exceedingly. I have not changed My mind. I know what I have purposed before you were born. I am your shield and your exceeding great reward. Abraham had to rest in God, and in Genesis 21:1-2, the Bible says; “God visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God has spoken to him.” Beloved, you don’t need to help God. He is able to perfect what He started.
