We see in this passage, God giving all these things. He gives Abraham a covenant, Canaan, and a nation. No money was asked for. No give to get principles. Just a faith that believes God. It is after doubt and unbelief come in that people start having to do things to make money. ____God is still God though!!!------ Many ministers have fallen into mischief because they don't trust God when they cannot see God working. God is always at work.
The point to make here is that a son of God doesn't have to beg and plead with God. He is a son or daughter of the most high. Look at this. Gen. 18:14 is anything to hard for the Lord.
Rom. 4:13 shows Abraham will be the heir of the world.
4:16 shows that the seed which is us, by faith also. He is the father of us. Jesus came from his descendancy. Matt. 21:38 Jesus here is now the heir of the world.
In Jn. 15:15 no longer will we be called servants but friends. Abraham was called the friend of God.
Heb. 1:2 Jesus takes on the seed and he is heir of the world.
1 Cor. 3:21-23 all things are yours---the world and everything else. That is because it all belongs to Jesus now.
Rom. 8:17 we are his sons and joint heirs with him. *******************************
Many think they own things who buy them with a credit card. They are making payments now but it isn't theirs till payed for. Also they will pay more because of interest rates. Abraham is a good example of contentment, he lived in a tent. He was still happy with what he had.
Consider this---maybe you don't have a faith manifested house because God knew the time it takes to sell a house nowadays. Then he may want you to be ready to move where he leads you. In this times many are departing from the faith and then you find the Assembly your in closes and you have to move where another one is. A house could hold you up in that situation.
When God takes first place in your life many things must take second place. God wants us to be heirs together with him.
Rom. 5:3-5 putting all these 3 together we see that as we patiently wait in hope of what God promised us, the love of his Holy Spirit will be working wonderfully in love in our hearts to help us endure the waiting period. That is why the trying of our faith is more precious than gold. We will experience God tremendously in order that we grow closer to him and fulfil his will for us. Then all of a sudden we are blessed in life with him and then there that thing we prayed for appears. My laptop went dead for a few days, I prayed, all of a sudden it was working again. God has done so many awesome wonderful things for me, no need to question him about other things. God bless.
