The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob I

Saturday 4 February
READ: Exo. 3:15
MORE LESSON: Mk. 12:26–27

God has identified Himself to men both in the Old and New Testaments as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. The God of the fathers is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8). This means that what He did in the lives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, He can also replicate in your life. There are many ways God revealed Himself in the lives of these patriarchs but specific note is the fact that He revealed Himself through them as the wealthy God. When you study the lives of these fathers of the faith, you will realize that the covenant of wealth was mightily at work in their lives. Whatever these men did prospered so much so that they all became an economic force among the nations that surrounded them. The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is not a God of the poor; He is the God of the rich. This is the reason it is your turn to be rich by same covenant of blessing that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
The Bible records, …Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold: Gen. 13:2. In Isaac’s case, Gen. 29:13-16 says that the man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. He had flocks of servants that the Philistines envied him, … Abimelech said to Isaac, “Move away from us; you have become too powerful for us’: Gen. 26:16 (NIV). When it was Jacob’s turn, it was written concerning him that the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks, female and male servants, and camels and donkeys (Gen. 30:43). The blessing was passed to Jacob ahead of his brother Esau, and so Jacob was a wealthy man. However, even Esau, who only got crumbs out of the blessing of Abraham, was not a poor man. Gen. 36:6-7 says that Esau took all his abundant substance and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. For their riches were more than what the land could support.
You can’t be less than what God has done for Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. You are a child of Abraham by faith in Jesus Christ (Gal. 3:14) and the works of Abraham must be seen in your life (John 8:39). The God of the fathers is your God, so what He did for Abraham, continued in the life of Isaac and accomplished in the life of Jacob will be perfected in your life. It is time for you to prosper by the covenant of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, in Jesus’ name.
