SONS NOVENA DAY 5.

MAN OF THE DAY: ABRAHAM

Abraham: A Man who Believed that God Can Do Anything

PRAYER FOCUS: TRUST AND BELIEVE IN GOD

Abraham lived to be 175 years old (Genesis 25:8). His life easily breaks into two parts. At age 75, he turned from idols. Then for the next 100 years, Abraham followed the one true God, maker of heaven and earth (Acts 7:2-8).

Like every other Old Testament hero of the faith, Abraham wasn’t perfect. In fact, it took about 38 years for Abraham to finally obey the Lord fully without hesitation. Everything up until then was preparatory for Abraham’s greatest test of faith: sacrificing his beloved son, Isaac.

Remember, Abraham didn’t have even one page of the Bible. He only had what the Lord God told him. Still, the idea of sacrificing Isaac was the ultimate test. The apostle Paul explains what this test proved: it proved that Abraham believed God would raise Isaac from the dead (Hebrews 11:17-19).

This amazing story of faith in Genesis 22 foreshadows the Lord’s own willingness to send His dearly loved Son, the perfect and sinless Lord Jesus Christ, to die on a cross, and to rise again from the dead on the third day. It’s the Gospel in a nutshell.

Abraham’s son Isaac lived to be 180 years old (Genesis 35:28). Isaac’s son Jacob lived to be 147 years old (Genesis 47:28).

DAILY PRAYER OF BLESSING.

My son……………………….. I give to you the blessing of my prayers.

I give to you the blessing of my praise.

I give to you the blessing of my passage.

I give to you the blessing of my purity.

I give to you the blessing of my name.

My son, Because YOU are born of God, YOU shall overcome the world and every battle in it, in Jesus name.

By the blood of Jesus, I blot out every evil family record that may be speaking against you.

Like Joseph, may you receive the anointing to terminate generational battles.

Like Jephtha, may you receive the grace to rewrite our family history positively.

Like David, may you be used to kill the Goliath that we your parents and our seniors could not kill.

Father, empower my son to defeat the forces that defeated our parents and grandparents.

AMEN
