Essence of Sunday SermonEssence of Sunday Sermon

Gen. 1-3, 12 ◎Ps. Pam

History of the Human Race and 3 Covenants

1. Edenic Covenant (Gen 1:28, 2:15-17)

In the Garden of Eden, God blessed man with the ability to multiply

across the land. He gave man the authority over all living things, and

also to take care the garden as well as enjoying the fruits in it. This

means that man needs to be alert while looking after all the lives, not

leaving foothold to the evil ones.

2. Adamic Covenant (Gen 3:14-21)

The will of Satan is for man to sin, and to rebel against God. Adam

and Eve sinned. This brings pain to women when they give birth.

Woman will always admire their husband. The land is cursed. Man

needs to work. Man faces death, but there will be salvation. This inci-

dent foretold the coming of the Messiah.

3. Noahic Covenant

God made covenant with man again, reaffirming the covenant in

Eden, and the rainbow is the mark of that covenant.

Why did God choose Abram?

1. Faith from God’s Words (Gen 12:1-3)

Abram responded to God's calling. He is willing to overcome “the fear

of the unknown” as he walk away from a comfort zone to an un-

known place. This great faith comes from hearing the word of God.

Therefore God promised to bless him, causing a great nation to rise

up from him. Giving a blessing is an act of adoration, in response to

“being WOWED” by Abram’s faith, even kneeling down to honour

him.

God made Abram the benchmark of blessings and curses, establishing

the principle of kingdom influence without partiality. The fullness of

the kingdom redemption will come through the line of Seth/Abram,

and eventually the Messiah, Jesus.

2. Faith in Obedience (Gen 12:4-6)

The most important element of faith is to be obedient to God. Obedi-

ence comes before revelation; faith comes before reasoning. . Faith is

the connecting medium in the relationship between man and God.

Obedience is the fruit of faith. It brings true blessing to man. Abram

brought his whole household and belonging and enter the Canaan

land, without being intimidated by the enemies of that land.

3. Faith with Worship (Gen 12:7-8)

God revealed Himself to Abram because He is attracted by his faith.

God blessed his descendants because of his obedience. God also

promised to bless his descendants with land. Abram responded with

words of love, and he built the altar to worship God as he communes

with God while offering himself to God.

Abram continues his journey. In between Bethel (house of God) and

Ai (destruction), Abram set his tents and built an altar for God. This

signifies that Abram and his descendants will bridge the gap between

the lost and God.

Abram had WOW faith:

WORDS of God created faith in Him

OBEDIENCE was result of that faith, and let to...

WORSHIP – a lifestyle of boldly living the kingdom by always putting

God first in his life.■

【This sermon message was delivered on July 2, 2015. Edited by Sec. of

On Wednesday Morning Devotion, as co-

workers went on stage to conduct rhema

application, Ps. Amos was by my side sharing

with me what he felt was a revelation from

the Morning Devotion. He suddenly under-

stood why God bothered to discuss with

Abraham His intention to destroy Sodom &

Gomorrah. As God had called Abraham as the

Father of nations, and that nations will be blessed because of Abraham,

so when God planned to destroy these sinful cities, God made it a point

to discuss with this “Father” as God honors the title and authority that

Abraham now carried. Additionally, Abraham was deemed a close friend

of God, therefore God did not pass over him in this matter. As Abraham

heard what God told him, for five times, he pleaded God’s mercy for

Sodom, seeking its deliverance from judgment. Amazingly, God positive-

ly answered all five of Abraham’s requests.

Suddenly this rhema also dawned on me, and so Ps Amos and I discussed

the various prophecies given to us by different prophets of God. We

hoped to sort out from such prophecies on how would God view us, and

what has God promised us in the past? As we went through them, we

discovered that God gave us more than we ever merited. God called us

to be the forerunner, gave us keys to open doors, and also said wherever

we step on, He would give to us according to His promises. (Joshua 1:3),

then He gave us the land anointing, and to possess an authority on land.

He also gives us the Esther anointing of intercession and victory from

defeat. Yes, we believe our Heavenly Father is faithful to His own Word,

and He will honor the position, authority and anointing which He has

given to anyone. God is not an autocratic God, nor a “yes and no” God,

and He loves His children.

Thereafter we proceeded to Ipoh to settle some matters relating the

daughter church there. All along the way to Ipoh, we found that our

journey was smooth as all the traffic lights seemed synchronized for

green throughout. Looking out through the window, I chose to appreci-

ate the panoramic views and appreciated our nation Malaysia. I could

not help being humbled by what God has given to our nation, that it is a

beautiful country, in spite of the

spate of negative and discourag-

ing events happening, but the

nation is still a land with plentiful

natural resources, good infra-

structures, multicultural delicious

foods, a land of beauty, is truly a

blessed land. We had just returned from India, and still retained many

vivid memories and feelings. As we looked at the passing panoramic

views , we were greatly stirred. The streets of Chennai City were chaotic,

busy, and noisy with non-stop car horns, houses were dilapidated, cows

loitering and resting along the public roads……in comparison, Ipoh as a

medium size city is relatively orderly and clean, orderly flow of traffic,

surrounded by mountains and lakes, equipped with many shopping cen-

ters providing great convenience. I am very thankful to God for His con-

tinuing grace and mercy for our nation, that He continues to watch over

and bless Malaysia. That is the special mercy and grace of God.

Brothers and sisters, let us be reminded to keep on giving thanks to God

for our nation and intercede, look with the eyes of faith at God’s re-

demptive plan for our nation, because God is still reigning in Malaysia. ■

Materials for this week’s altar building:

Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do? Abraham will surely become a great and powerful nation, and all na-tions on earth will be blessed through him. For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing what is right and just, so that the Lord will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.” (Genesis 18: 17-19 ) 1. Israel
