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.

PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM

PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM Tayo Onaleye John 20.1-4 Team building is a major function of leadership. And broadly speaking, there can just be only two types of people on any team: those who are running with the vision and those who are not. It takes running to actualize any vision. Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said,Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Only those who are running with the vision will help actualize it. Those on the team who are not running with the vision will eventually ground it. Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Running with the vision symbolises PASSION. Hence only those who are passionate about the vision will actually pay the price to see it materialise. Every vision faces challenges. Only those who are passionate about the vision will stick with it for the long haul. Those who are not passionate about the vision ...
