“The Call Of Abram”
Tuesday, August 26, 2025Key Verse
“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.” Genesis 12:1
Text — Genesis 12:1-5
Message
Abram was living a comfortable life. He was married, he had servants and the weather was great! However, God had a much bigger plan for Abram and to put that plan into action, He needed Abram to get up and move to the land of Canaan. God could see into to the future to a time when there would be so many people born from Abram’s children, it would be as hard to count them as it would be to count the grains of sand on the beach, or the stars in the sky. You could say that God had a great plan for Abram: that through him all the people of the earth would be blessed.
Abram obeyed God. He left the place where he had lived for so long and started his journey to a distant land. Because of Abram’s obedience, he was greatly blessed as God had promised. Today we are still enjoying the blessings of Abram. Obedience brings blessings. Children of God must seek to know God’s will through reading His word and meditating on it. Make up your mind that wherever God leads, you will go.
