LEARN FROM ABRAHAM

FAITH CAPSULE: Obey to dwell, by waiting on God at all times.

Hebrews 11

The word of God requires full obedience and with no compromise. 
When the word of God sounds in your direction, it is worthy to obey, dwell by waiting on the word of God. 
To obey, dwell, and wait on the word of God is evident in the life of Abraham.
The bible records of Abraham, “By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” (Hebrews 11:8-10)
Obedience: When God called Abraham out from his country, his family, his father’s house to an unknown land, he obeyed fully by launching out as commanded by God. Although, there was no idea of where he was going and it was ideal for him not to question God. Abraham had no reasonable excuse to decline the calling upon his life but obeyed God by moving from certainty to uncertainty. 
Are you obeying to obtain good testimonies?
Dwelling: Abraham dwelt on the word of God. 
Living life according to the word of is dwelling in the secret place of God. Psalm 91:1 buttressed. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” Are you a truthful believer that knows to dwell in the word of God? Abraham dwelt in the word of God by not looking back to his country but went forward according to the calling of God over his life.
Abraham dwelt under the shadow of the word of God and was able to move forward in the calling of God. 
With faith in the word of God, Abraham moved to a foreign country and his faith caused him to obtain good testimonies.
The word of God is a story to limited one of understanding but a secret of God for one with an understanding that knows God. 
The word of God is a secret to dwell in and be delivered in the journey of life. Abraham dwelt in the word of God. 
Waiting: Abraham obeyed God; he dwelt and waited on the word God for the deliverance and preservation. 
Those who know to dwell in God know to wait patiently on God. Hebrews 11:10 records the waiting of Abraham on God, “For he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” Indeed, Abraham lived by waiting for the future which was not yet in sight. 
Waiting on the promising word of God can be painful, but is gainful for obedient ones.
With Abraham, understanding, and knowledge of the word of God, prompted him to obey and obtain the testimony of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to learn right from Abraham.
