Be a Blessing

By | Eyesalve

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:” Genesis 12:1-2

 

Many Christians rob themselves of blessings because they are reluctant to come out from family and friends. I will even go so far as to say some need to come out from the dead dry religion that it is many of our churches today. It is bad enough that they miss out on blessings, but even worse is the body of Christ misses out on blessings. Do you see that because Abraham was blessed, it made him a blessing? Come out from among her, get blessed, then be a blessing to us all.

Eyesalve: Life of Faith

By | Eyesalve

“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

 

The word “faith,” is found only two times in the Old Testament. However, the principle of faith is lived out by many of the Old Testament saints. Abraham, for example is called the father of faith. What a contrast we have from the New Testament saints of today who hear all the time about faith. We even have one faction of Christianity called, “word of faith.” In the Old Testament days, the people didn’t hear about faith as much, but they lived it. We have the privilege of reading about the obedience of those Old Testament saints who lived a life of faith. Let it be so for our present day, let faith be seen more than or as at least as much as it is preached. So let’s take “word of faith,” and change it to a life of faith.

Eyesalve: Giving God The Best

By | Eyesalve

“And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. 8And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.” Gen. 18:7-8

Abraham did not order his servants to fetch the calf. When it comes to giving God your best, you can’t have anyone else do it for you. You have to go find the best calf, tender and good.
