  1. Starting the morning this morning, I for We are Kingsman

  2. was Ivan wait for the saying before we are family.

  3. We are related by blood. Something will be NASA if the

  4. full eye see Nelson, Daniel. Egypt Phil Design.

  5. Ohh, so you know pain where? Abraham Hi Brown chose to depend

  6. on his own wisdom in order to protect his life, even though it

  7. was an expense of the welfare of his wife.

  8. Status. Just refresh your memories of

  9. Genesis chapter. Well have all the Abraham dying

  10. for something farming. Abram chose to go down to Egypt

  11. and Daniel Nandino. These are simple and Abram

  12. Delphinium wife beautiful and with desirable not good for you

  13. leader of the land for the lamb say you shaken Asawa and he will

  14. be put to death. So Daniel's Genesis chapter 12

    Genesis 12 chapter mention

  15. to topple now when I'm when I'm good.

  16. It was exhibited in Egypt that if not for the grace of God,

  17. again, if not for the grace of God, Abraham himself would have

  18. jeopardised what God himself has promised to him in Genesis

    Genesis 12 chapter mention

  19. chapter 12. That's very of course, every

  20. part of this country is very important, but as far as

  21. understanding the provenance of God and the Scripture is

  22. concerned, it is important for us to remember that Genesis

    Genesis 12 chapter mention

  23. chapter 12 is where God has given His promise to Abraham

  24. that even though he's old and his wife was barring, he will be

  25. blessed with his very own son who shall come from his very

  26. noise and through that sequel nation shall be blessed.

  27. And before we expanded on Genesis chapter 30.

    Genesis 30 chapter mention

  28. Let me remind myself and each one of you truly, if not for the

  29. grace of God. Genesis 12 would be promised

  30. them just saying Ohh my love my when I'm not not even a thing,

  31. but I knows Abraham Miss Moi point as we proceed self expand

  32. the Genesis chapter 13. You will be truly the peace of

    Genesis 13 chapter mention

  33. God is still have to work in the life of Abraham, whom he has

  34. chosen to be the recipient of his promise of his covenant.

  35. Yeah people suggests chapter 13. It is my pleasure to deliver to

  36. you what we may glean from the very word of God.

  37. So Chapter 13 versus 1 to 18, Mahita, you will be able to

  38. value better promises over approximate benefits.

  39. So for our first point in the whole chapter 13 versus 1 to 18,

  40. by the peace of God, God equips us with the wisdom to discern

  41. and understand, but it is far more valuable to to to be

  42. dwelling in the better promises of God over the proximate

  43. benefices that received. So that's where our first point

  44. better promises over approximate benefits, chapter 13 and our

  45. second last point in chapter 14, verses 1 to 16.

  46. By the grace of God, Abraham pulled.

  47. Behold that heavenly assistance. You'll never be umm will never

  48. be inferior to any world, a heathen or worthy alliance that

  49. can be formed here on earth. So for our second and last point

  50. to chapter 14, verses 1 to 16, Heavenly assistance over heathen

  51. alliance that's beginning smiling.

  52. I think first I want you to go back to chapter 13 versus 1 to

  53. 18. I think the napping also first

  54. one, but he wanted to see the Sabi policy indefinitely,

  55. Palabas and Egypt, but I mean my possessions and treasures and

  56. Abraham just to get rid of Abram and Sarai.

  57. So in verse one we see Abraham went up from Egypt, he and his

  58. wife and all that he had a kasami.

  59. Laughing now, Pumpkin, Abraham and the journey itself.

  60. In fact, the word negative, that's how it pertains to the

  61. southern region. What is that number wasn't in

  62. Egypt Abraham together with his wife Zari and even with his

  63. nephew Nalog Massillon Abrams, very rich in livestock, in

  64. silver and involvement. So something Sabi Abraham left

  65. Egypt very prosperous because of what has been given to him by

  66. fair just to get rid of them. However, we must not miss the

  67. fact that what was truly disappointing Abraham.

  68. So Genesis chapter 12, that is really commendable.

    Genesis 12 chapter mention

  69. Yeah, I want you to take a look first thing, but it's adversity,

  70. the bus, the Abraham and this already known in Egypt.

  71. They went to negative people will the books are very well and

  72. if you will recall what happened in in the earlier chapters of

  73. Genesis. Don't pitch in 10 Bengal means

  74. the House of God Castle versus 4.

  75. What is something people know? Union Gardens also owner was

  76. first of all to the place where he had made an author at the 1st

  77. and there, despite his terrible blunder in Genesis 12, here in

  78. Genesis 13 reminds us of what Abraham did for God.

  79. By the grace of God, Abraham called upon the name of the

  80. Lord. What does that mean?

  81. Despite this terrible failure in Egypt, Abram's actions here are

  82. very commendable. Why despite being semi nomadic,

  83. meaning he keeps or Abraham kept on travelling from one place to

  84. another to tend to his flock, finding a better place for

  85. pasture gunman. It was in Abram's heart to build

  86. an altar for the Lord according to God's promises to him.

  87. In short, Abraham left Egypt to go to Bethel to worship the Lord

  88. Anna Gabriel Commander Massawa outside buy the peace of God.

  89. Abraham went back to which God has called him, and that is the

  90. worship, the one true love. He went back, He went back to

  91. the land that the Lord promised to him, and there he worshipped

  92. the Lord versus 1234, like everyone's Egypt.

  93. We went back to the place where God has called him, and there he

  94. called upon the name of the Lord.

  95. He worshipped the Lord, recognising that in everything

  96. that happened to him, the Lord Yahweh is still the Lord who's

  97. in control of all things. But again, it is not the case

  98. that everything is okay for Abraham.

  99. United Calendar someone will someone personally and we we

  100. went through terrible things and the only way that we're able to

  101. discern language is true that which is really good for us is

  102. when God called us back to worship him and in those moments

  103. that it seemed that everything was okay everything was going OK

  104. and they're they're crisis comes to our lives reminding us that

  105. it is indeed the Lord who is sovereign overall things and

  106. that it is our duty to submit to him in everything.

  107. I guess the first I might even happen cause somebody the law

  108. who went with Abraham man God also has lost and herds and

  109. things that low sustain to sustain them both so dominant so

  110. domino flopped Abraham dominant flop servants to do the work of

  111. obtaining the block building cannot generally so we're six

  112. Their possessions were so great pertaining to to both Abraham

  113. and all their possessions were so great that they could not go

  114. together means no. This is some division.

  115. Don't have the Dinos. Of course I'm saying that in

  116. just now. It won't let me something, Papa.

  117. The text is saying here after everything became OK, crisis

  118. comes guess #7 There was strife between the servants of law and

  119. the servants of Abraham. You users of water constantly

  120. Abraham and mean and not respectively not make conflict

  121. between their servants, masters or Abraham and love and no

  122. inverse Abusa Lugar was accident and stay for that moment.

  123. Not gonna marking the nights in Paris eyes, you guys promise.

  124. But here in verse 8, Abraham tried to resolve the crisis that

  125. he has with his nephew has also received.

  126. Let there be no strife between you and me and between your

  127. herdsmen and my herdsmen, for we are kingsman.

  128. It is something two die familiar.

  129. Dial and basement gram save you but you related something with

  130. blood. Ohh yes I was over slide.

  131. It's not the whole land before you.

  132. If this solution nothing separate yourself from me.

  133. If you take the left hand I would then I will go to the

  134. right or if you take the right hand then I will go to the left.

  135. I think it was literally taken. Megan Churches and one of the

  136. only and I think what does somebody just want to keep the

  137. name. What I want to highlight in

  138. versus 8 to 9 is this. Abraham being the uncle, and

  139. being the one who had more possessions and treasures than

  140. his nephew, is not Abraham had all the right to do as he

  141. pleases. I say you nothing, but Abraham

  142. acted as a neat and unselfish kinsman.

  143. Megamart say you must make authority, be an Uncle Banda

  144. concessions. But in humility and in and

  145. unselfishness, he exhibited himself before his nephew Nathan

  146. Young. Very own kin.

  147. Yeah, I think the first thing see emphasising the point that

  148. the point number one is as stated in this way better

  149. promises over approximate benefits.

  150. So first then no, no, we know that the Jordan Valley and

  151. Jordan Valley was very pleasing because it was well watered.

  152. It was very beautiful and abundant, so much so that it was

  153. compared to the Garden of Eden and neither land of Egypt.

  154. Remember when there was severe famine, Abram had no choice but

  155. to go down to Egypt, where you Jordan Valley, bountiful,

  156. pleasing, yielding with so much proximate benefits?

  157. I think nothing. Parenthesis restatement.

  158. By the way, back now in and just my bad Mr. Dennis some more so

  159. this 1st 11 so law chose for himself all the Jordan Valley

  160. and long journey E journey east. Thus they separated from each

  161. other. And if you think I will take

  162. right that he will honour what his nephew desires.

  163. Inverso Maita. Nathan Abraham settled in the

  164. land of Canaan, why not settled among the cities of the valley,

  165. and movie set as far as Odom. Now the Minnesota Wild, wicked

  166. great sinners against the north. One thing that we should note

  167. here, it is not the case that Law did not know the wickedness

  168. of the people of Sodom type on Facebook tomorrow.

  169. It is impossible that Lot Lot did not know the true case of

  170. the people of Southern No. This conflict, although painful

  171. anyone at Monkey recognising authority, but this is very

  172. painful by God's Providence, it made Abraham stay in the course

  173. of God's promise and I promise them that canine shall belong to

  174. his seat getting nothing that you don't believe in the Lord.

  175. Ingram said that in the land of Canaan and to refresh your

  176. memory, that is the land. But firstly, firstly, I don't

  177. know number promise. That was the land that was

  178. promised to received into his posterity.

  179. That's the first thing we we see how it is emphasised here.

  180. The great difference between what law saw as its proximate

  181. benefits. Approximate benefits.

  182. It's about you, you fucking album.

  183. In England you are doing Induce. No, no, no.

  184. So it's gonna be Despite that was the content of Lord's heart.

  185. Here we see that Abraham had in his mind and his heart the

  186. better promises which the Lord declared to him, which the Lord

  187. whistles, at least starting a firm to him.

  188. Now, Nina Mullally, you know where I'm heading.

  189. You don't have to go that far. Many times in our lives, as I'm

  190. fond to say, when our eyes drift away from the gospel, despite

  191. understanding, appreciating, valuing the better promises of

  192. God, who is covering for us our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

  193. we choose to value the approximate benefits and we

  194. become blind to the great consequences that we may face.

  195. Stuff about sin and the pleasure that it brings When our eyes

  196. stripped away from the gospel, our minds are preoccupied with

  197. the temporal pleasures that we are about to enjoy in exchange

  198. of 1 being firmly established in the better promises of God

  199. fulfilling every for us through our Lord and Saviour Jesus

  200. Christ. You those are being too high.

  201. No must be entertainment. Not saying entertainment person

  202. is wrong. I myself entertain myself which

  203. is not only a girl Gantian task but sometimes herculean to

  204. entertain myself by myself and I'm just being desperate here.

  205. Ohh what I'm saying my entertainment person.

  206. Well, I mean baggage permissible, but when we choose

  207. to value those things over the things that God legitimately

  208. allows us to enjoy in the context of his promises to us

  209. through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

  210. Value No, no, you. You witness publicly professing

  211. faith in Christ, and yet He chooses to obey Himself rather

  212. than to submit to the authority of Christ in the context of what

  213. the Lord saying, in worship and service, in growing, in

  214. holiness, and in the knowledge of God.

  215. Middle Indeed, also that we grieve in our hearts when we see

  216. our brother or sister in sin barking.

  217. No, but it must be. The approximate benefits of Alan

  218. Union beneficial and he he or she turns his back to the way

  219. better promises of God alpha male ohh just to give you a

  220. brief history. You know, you know Bogami Aman.

  221. Yeah, you know how to Naina money.

  229. leaked us up. I'm not saying I'm able to do it

  230. perfectly, but I have my fair share of weaknesses and

  231. shortcomings. But if you would just review a

  232. bit what we have been through in the past, there was something

  233. basketball I didn't understand. Premium on land, easy, people

  234. may imagine support. Oh oh, have fun family.

  235. Family, Family, see this? That's cause you know you mean

  241. Every Thursday, pray to the Lord that the gospel will be

  242. proclaimed to your family and that they would be brought to

  243. the church. But there was something.

  244. We put the heart in front of the horse.

  245. We want to help God, it doesn't need any help from us alone.

  246. You from when you are let us train by the approximate

  247. benefits we Halimbawa so no, it's let me see it is with all

  250. Of course you know in two years. Yes you understand Google no

  251. where you will move for work for career.

  252. What not will I be nourished there in the faith, in the

  253. veering through knowledge of God rather than valuing the

  254. proximate benefits? By God's grace, we are to be

  255. found down our knees surrounding, surrendering our

  256. will to our God and trusting Him.

  257. That is, better promises yesterday are still the better

  258. promises for us today. 14 As we continue, the Lord said to

  259. Abraham after law that separated from him, Lift up your eyes and

  260. look from the place where you are northward and southward and

  261. eastward and westward, for all the land that you see.

  262. I will give to you and their offspring forever.

  263. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that

  264. if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can

  265. be counted and subversive. 17 In ceremonial Norwalk Dito Napram,

  268. will inherit the land, and his descendants, or his posterity

  269. will be exceedingly great in number of descendants.

  270. Here the Lord reaffirms His promise to Abraham and to

  271. receive into His posterity that which God has to show us is

  272. infinitely better and more desirable than anything that the

  273. world has to Overall review. I will be very practical and

  274. pragmatic here. You know, as a possible pastor

  275. for several years they going mobile your counselling that I

  276. did not want to do, but I had to that never storm feeling Sabah

  277. William Churchill. What's wrong?

  278. Welcome fun somewhere else. Members something.

  279. This is my life on the left. Will somebody go higher in the

  280. you and you? You're not gonna know benefits

  281. of Hannah the see your whole I was going through a rough patch

  282. and along came here. No, this, this woman, Yeah.

  283. I don't know if I can live without her.

  284. You can't live without her. Let's go nerd mode here.

  285. No, we should energy. I'm jealous because of sin,

  286. because of being deceived. Deceived that the proximate

  287. benefits are much more important than the better promises of God

  288. for us in Christ Jesus. No, we are led to what?

  289. Turn our backs to God, to our kinsman, I mean as the family of

  290. God, for Jesus Christ is our head.

  291. But again, let me what that which God has to show us is

  292. infinitely better and more desirable than anything that the

  293. world has to offer our view. What did I learn?

  294. You Abraham up there must be, you know, that balance.

  295. Ohh. Home, Cortana, how do you know

  296. before being blessed? Not me.

  297. You have been missing something. Definitely.

  298. I had this relationship. Childhood changes to the minor

  299. better during the course of the relationship.

  300. No, there was a there was this time that I'm gonna.

  301. I'm sorry. I can't be a pastor's wife.

  302. I have my limbs. I want my some of these happy.

  303. She can picture herself living a life of a pastor's wife.

  304. Yeah, the three children. Laughter and tears are both

  305. responses, and frustration and exhaustion.

  306. I myself prefer to laugh since there's this cleaning up to do

  307. afterwards. Think, yeah, the ultimate cure.

  308. I want to make sure you know actually, in retrospect, behalf

  309. of you. Physicals are easy.

  310. If not in the Union, well. Tell me the news just to see the

  311. bigger promises of God over the proximate benefits around us.

  312. We respond in obedience grouping.

  313. We have been. We obey not because we're trying

  314. to earn glass paper, but we understand by the grace of God

  315. that we've already been favored by God.

  316. And the example of Abraham. The Lord has all the reasons to

  317. reject Abraham, but as we're reminded and what the Scripture

  318. says, if we are faithless, He will remain faithful, for he

  319. cannot disown himself as I love to say 11 basis you above in

  320. England just by choosing the proximate benefits.

  321. How many times have you failed God because you valued more the

  322. proximate benefits around you rather than being added in

  323. infinite? Now the question that must be

  324. answered after that is how is it you are still here, people who

  325. play? 0 K So amra.

  326. So after God commanded him to arise, walk through the length.

  327. So first thing. So Abraham moved his stand and

  328. came and settled by the oaks of memory, which are at Hebron and

  329. known just as it did in Bethlehem.

  330. What did Abraham do? And there he built an altar to

  331. worship. See.

  332. Okay, abide. Because we are.

  333. Yeah, good, good. Worship them and I want you to

  334. understand that here in verse 18 as his obedient response to

  335. God's command and verse 17 Abraham did not walk or even the

  336. doctor just inspect the land, but it was symbolic and

  337. ceremonial in the ancient Near East.

  338. When covenants are ratified, it includes soon, but not had no

  339. great writing. Who is the sovereign together

  340. with the lesser king or the servant?

  341. Who is the vassal? Camping to go on and just leave

  342. the Abrams #17 as you know, the Abrams overseen.

  343. It means that God is the soothering, the greater king you

  344. lost with Abraham his vassal, or the lesser king his servant, and

  345. they walked together over the land to demonstrate your

  346. ownership in authority over you. Abraham once again acknowledged

  347. by faith that the Lord is the Susan, the greater King, and he

  348. is the Lord's fasting. And that is evident by what

  349. Abraham did in the last part of her sleeping.

  350. He built an altar to lower to worship the Lord who never gives

  351. up on him. Why was Abraham able to worship

  352. the Lord? By God's grace?

  353. He showed to Abraham that God's promises are way, way, way, way

  354. better than any proximate benefit you may see before your

  355. life. That's what you want?

  356. Indicate you when you probably know, Can you?

  357. That's because he or she chose to dwell in sin and you want

  358. your boss. In fact, anyone you designed

  359. them, you wouldn't know in the world.

  360. Looks like yours 1. Anyone months missing you and

  361. that was even that will be shown even more this chapter 14 as we

  362. proceed this our second. So at first point we see better

  363. promises over proximate benefits as you progress and certainly

  364. this morning in chapter 14 verses 1 to 16.

  365. Now we see the heavenly assistance from God of course

  366. over Heaven alliance when I'm Satan.

  367. Long time something in Albany having someone tonight versus

  368. one to seven before we proceed the first one seven chapter 14

  369. in the previous section, we see Abraham as the faithful vassal

  370. to the Susan and Lord here in versus one to seven Makita

  371. Nathan, the earthly vassals bro faith with or rebelled against

  372. their earthly suffering. There are two headed like

  373. alliances that we must see here first.

  374. The first heathen alliance is the alliance between the

  375. suzerains. Your versus 1 two verse one

  376. you'll 4 kings Leon union 4 greater king slapping season

  379. So therefore greater kings no make controlled inside other

  380. kingdoms. So other Kingston lesser

  381. kingdoms they own Ukabila don't know 5.

  382. This is the second hidden alliance that I'm pertaining to

  384. great, the kings, the Suzanne, the the four kings mentioned the

  385. other hidden lions is the alliance between the fellow

  389. They were servants to the 4th Greater Kings for 12 years and

  390. in the in the 13th year they rebuild.

  391. They brought faith with their suzerain.

  392. Ohh about the the four greater kings that first he didn't lions

  393. and pertaining to they were very successful in their campaign

  394. against other nations around the world.

  395. Updated news and the hours of Middle East.

  396. Ohh, the picture it in that paper missile or materials and

  397. Chariots, horses, Spears, you know, conventional and ancient

  398. warfare. What we must remember here is

  399. this the four greater kings? No, they were successful in

  400. their campaign against the other nations.

  401. Successful. It is right to assume that they

  402. have lost men and resources. They have lost lawyers and

  403. important resources, valuable resources for their campaign.

  404. You're getting a lot. NO5 Lesser kings that second
