Become God’s Friend – Sis. Stella Dhinakaran

“Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.” (Genesis 13:17)
My dear child, I am so happy to share God’s promise and I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Today, I have chosen Genesis 13:17 for our meditation. This verse says “Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.” This promise was given to Abraham. Abraham was a chosen man of God. If you read Joshua 24:2 & 3, you can see Abraham’s father Terah was seeking other gods and following them. However, see the grace of God.

The Almighty God came to Abraham and chose him as His friend, follower and son. Abraham started to follow God with all his heart and he became a friend of God. We can read about it in the verses from II Chronicles 20:7, Isaiah 41:8, and James 2:23. As Abraham loved the Lord, He promised all these blessings. In Genesis 13:15-16, God tells Abraham, “All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted.” What wonderful blessings!

Don’t you also want to be blessed by God in the same manner? God loves you my precious child and He wants to bless you with all His blessings. All that you need to do is have a close communion with the Lord, and you will also be blessed like Abraham. Now, look to God to receive all the blessings from Heaven and say this prayer with faith.
Prayer:
My loving heavenly Father,

Thank you for today’s promise. Have mercy upon me. Forgive all my trespasses. I know that you love me very much. Give me the grace to walk with you and talk with you like Abraham. I am anxiously waiting to receiving your forgiveness and commit my life to you. Help me Lord to have a close relationship with you and be blessed abundantly.

n Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
