RISE ABOVE BETRAYAL....

Tayo Onaleye, Nation Builder

Lessons from Genesis 14.

Genesis 14. 14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan...... 16 *And he brought back all the goods, and also brought again his brother Lot, and his goods*

This is so touching.....

Lot left Abraham on platter of strife.

In fact, Lot was very rude to Abraham while leaving.

Abraham was old enough to be Lot's father but yet Abraham deferred to Lot and asked Lot to choose first.

Stupidly, Lot chose ahead of Abraham.

That was very rude and very stupid.

And also very greedy too.

This Lot was riding on the blessing of Abraham and yet he didn't have enough sense to defer to Abraham when there was strife.

Despite all these......

14 And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan!!!!!!!

This is simply amazing!!!

Abraham didn't repay Lot with his coin, but rather he went out to rescue Lot at the risk of his own life and at his own expense!

Don't repay evil with evil!

God is your defence.

Rather....

Do good in return. Be not overcome of evil but rather overcome evil with good.

Shalom.

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd. He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...
