Being in God’s will is about our choices Jacob’s choice of delayed obedience put his family in the wrong place Jacob’s consequences were far greater than he could imagine He is finally doing what God told him to do over a decade earlier.
God reveals Himself to Jacob at Bethel when he is fleeing Esau, and in Haran when he is with Laban and at Jabbok before meeting Esau. Jacob still is not fully relying on God, but he is getting closer! Only complete obedience guarantees the help, presence and blessing of God. Text: Genesis 33
Learning to spend time with God. Working through our problems with God. Letting God determine our identity.
LEARNING TO FACE CONSEQUENCES TO OUR ACTIONS WITH GOD’S HELP WHILE LEARNING NOT TO FEAR MAN, BUT GOD ALONE. Wisdom is seeing problems ahead of time and avoiding them! A lesson to learn from Jacob’s experiences: When God says to do something, do it immediately; don’t be distracted and do not delay! Text: Genesis 32:1-24
Text: Genesis 31:36-55 Pastor Humber encourages listeners to fix things in their past in order to move on and grow. Jacob changed, due to the Grace of God. Attackers can be for our chastening, but when we are in right relationship with God, He works to defend us.
Success should not be measured by us in Dollars, Name Recognition or in Man’s Accolades, but only by God being glorified in us.
From the life of Jacob we are taught by Pastor Humber that God has us where we are for His purpose; to fulfill His will for our lives. Jacob accomplished some of his greatness through trickery. Are we willing to achieve greatness God’s way? and hence be without regret! Text: Genesis…
Fulfilling our purpose of being alive Text: Genesis 1:27-31
