GOD honours His promises
We see that GOD’s response to Jacob is that He honours His promises. GOD’s promises are “yes” and “amen” as He honours His promises.
Preparing the Bride for GOD’s Story
How do we prepare as the Bride of Christ? One aspect is to learn GOD’S STORY. He created us in His image…. Piece by piece, and peace by peace, we learn to walk as He has walked. And we learn His perspective.
Genesis 35:9-15
“God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him. And God said to him, “Your name is Jacob; no longer shall your name be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name.” So he called his name Israel. And God said to him, “I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and I will give the land to your offspring after you.” Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.”
Wow! Imagine GOD’s promises to Jacob!
How would you feel to have GOD change your name and promise Kings shall come from your own body.
That’s impactful.
I get nervous just reading that!
What does GOD want to do in my life?
Have you asked yourself, or Him, that question — lately?
What does GOD Almighty want to do?
Let’s mediate on that, while — as Jacob models — we build an altar to the LORD GOD of heaven and earth.
Let’s build an altar of prayer and praise!
