Genesis 8

Oct5

Good morning y’all.  Happy sunday!!!

Today we continue our study of Genesis. We in chapter 8. Noah and all in the boat were kept safe during the flood. Flood ended and God instructed them to leave the boat so they can start afresh. God made a promise to not destroy the earth again.

Be blessed 🙂

God turned his attention to Noah! Wow that’s pretty awesome! Just to know that the creator of the universe, the one who holds it all in his hands will actually turn his attention to us. That He will remember us. That he will make time for us, to listen and communicate with us. For me it’s just amazing. The psalmist says what is man that you are mindful of him…

Psalm 8:4-5 AMP:
“What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You have crowned him with glory and honor.”

If God turned his attention to Noah and all on the boat,  He can and will do the same for us too. Be encouraged 🙂

Not only did he turn his attention to them, He made the elements to work in their favour.V 2 and 3 tells of how God caused the wind to blow and the flood waters began to go down…..I pray God will cause everything around us to begin to work in our favour.

Noah didn’t leave the boat until he was instructed by God to do so even though he knew the earth was dry seeing as the dove didn’t come back when he sent it out the 3rd time. Don’t run ahead of God. Let’s wait for his guidance and direction. Prov 3: 5-6 tells us to not lean on our own understanding but in all our ways to acknowledge God and he will direct our path.

Proverbs 3:5-6 CEVUS06:

“With all your heart you must trust the Lord and not your own judgment.  Always let him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow.”

After Noah and all left the boat, he offered burnt offering to God. This I believed he did to thank God for safety during the flood and for a fresh beginning.  God was delighted in  the offering and vowed never to destroy all living things again. Are we grateful and thankful for all that God does for us or do we thank it for granted. Let’s offer thanks to God. Scripture says we should give thanks to God for this is his will.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT : “Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”

Prayer
Dear Lord we thank you for today. We thank you for your breath in us. Thank you for the many wonderful things you have blessed us with. Today we pray that you will turn your attention towards us, that you would cause everything around us to work in our favour. Pls give us a grateful and thankful heart. We love you Lord. In Jesus Name. Amen

Thank you for joining.

Have a blessed Sunday and remember to be thankful and grateful today.

Genesis 6

Oct3

Good Morning y’all.

Today we in Genesis chapter 6. The people on earth at that time were so corrupt and evil that God regretted creating them. Yet in the midst of the evil, there was Noah who stood out and found favour with God.  I pray our lifestyles will not make God regret ever choosing us as one his children.

Be blessed 🙂

S – Scriptures that stood out for me
Genesis 6:8 NLT :But Noah found favor with the lord .

Genesis 6:9 NLT: This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God.

Genesis 6:22 NLT: So Noah did everything exactly as God had commanded him.

O – Observations
O1) Noah stood out from the rest of the human race which made him find favour in the sight of God. He was a righteous man, the only blameless person on earth at that time.

O2) When others around us are doing the wrong thing, we have the choice to either join in or be different and do the right thing. Doing the right thing will earn us favour with God as it did Noah. God will be pleased with us.

O3) Noah also walked in close fellowship with God thats why he was able to stand out and not be part of all the evil going on. His relationship with God influenced his lifestyle and his choices.

O4) Noah was obedient to God’s instruction. If he had not obeyed, no telling what would have happened to the human race when the flood came.

A – Application
A1) Let’s stand out for God today. Choose to do the right thing.

A2) Be obedient to whatever God is asking us to do

P – Prayer
Dear Lord we thank you for today. We thank you for another opportunity to learn at your feet. Today we ask for the grace to  to do the right thing even when we are surrounded by evil. Pls help us be obedient to you, that we won’t make you unhappy with the way we live our lives. We pray you will be proud of us and we will find favour in your sight today. In Jesus Name.  Amen.

Thanks for joining today.

Have a wonderful day and remember to stand out for God today 🙂
