- Vss 1-2: 3 men came to visit Abraham. 3 is the # of the trinity & scholars believe this is a trinitarian theophony. The Lord visits Abraham!
- The Bible says that we could entertain angels unaware. I pray one day, I'll know when I entertain an angel.
- This visitation took place on a regular day while he was doing Sarah's honey-do list. God can & will visit you at any time. You need to have an all-day-long-God-consciousness! Any routine day can turn into a God encounter!
- Vss 4-8: Abraham had a heart to minister to the Lord! Too many times we want to know what God is going to do for ME! But here Abraham sets an example to follow. We should desire to minister to God. What can I do for God you might ask? Worship Him! You have the ability to minister & move God w/ your worship! Be a living sacrifice which is your reasonable act of worship (Rom12).
- Give God your best! Abraham fixed them a choice meal. He didn't just get God some leftovers, He fixed him an excellent meal! Have you been giving God your left-overs?
- Vss 9-10: Never limit God! God shows Himself to be the God of what man would consider impossible! Sarah gave birth to Isaac when she was about 90 years old & Abraham 100!
- What God promises to do, He will surely return to do! You need to learn to depend on Him to do it! Just because God said it was going to happen doesn't mean you can make it happen now. Wait on His timing!
- Vss 16-19: When you walk WITH God, He will reveal things to you about YOU! Why be satisfied with sporadic meetings when you can have consistent meetings with Him? You have to cultivate a daily time of prayer & Bible study & I promise He will begin to speak things to you about YOU!
- Psalm 42:2 "My soul thirst for God, for the living God. When can I go meet with God?" ARE YOU THIRSTY?
- Take time & prepare yourself for a God encounter today. He has a divine appointment awaiting you. He's desiring to meet w/ you, I just hope you desire & thirst to meet with Him. He's waiting to show you great & might things about your life.
Sunday night, we went through Genesis 18 together. I am blown away at the take away's you can get from this chapter. I'm not going to cover all of them, but I do want to highlight a few of them. Get your Bible & read chapter 18, while I just bullet point some things out for you.
