AT PERCEIVING, LATCH UNTO HIM - I Perceive Series 006
Genesis 18:1, KJV
"And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day."
I said yesterday that God is not partial. He gave Himself to all men (John 3:16) and He's still giving Himself to them as a fullness that meet their needs (John 1:16). However, He draws near to men even when He's too ruddy to be believed so.
The testimony concerning David is that he's ruddy and of a fine appearance. So, they didn't esteem him as a warrior.
I Samuel 17:42, KJV
"And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance."
However, God used him and they were all proven wrong when He did.
God will appear to all men at one time or the other. He won't leave you forlorn. Only that you must perceive and recognize. We saw this in Abraham yesterday. Three men almost bypassed him but he went to turn them to his place.
My emphasis is on the heart and knowing of Abraham. Abraham has a witness that these aren't ordinary men. He therefore persuaded them until they were ashamed to turn unto him.
Genesis 18:2-3, KJV
"2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:"
The Bible says, "he ran to meet this opportunity". He even bowed down to them and honoured them saying, "my Lord". Abraham saw something. Though he is at the tent door trying to cool off but he refuses to be encumbered. He sees some three men. He sees the Lord and he gives him water when He needed it, meat when He needed it and even shelter when He was weary.
This way, Abraham mustn't go empty handed. He must be blessed in return. Abraham who have eyes for such a thing must have his need met also. What follows after refreshing this trio is a call for Sarah.
Genesis 18:9-10, KJV
"9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him."
You know the end of the story. Today, your heart for the things of God will pay. I'm seeing a woman there who has spent herself on God and His things yet is still in hope of a child. It'll be unto you as it is unto Abraham here. I'm also hearing this. "Some of you will reap the reward and sowing of someone who has exercised himself or herself for God". It was Abraham who called these men in but Sarah is the one they called for after they had eaten Abraham's food. You're about to reap the seed already sown by your parents, siblings and even pastor. A demand will go on in the spirit over you. Today, they'll ask for you. They'll call you to come. Sarah was called for though she was not present with the trio. She reaped the labour of Abraham's perception. Today, you will. Be blessed!
PRAYER: I am called in. I am called to come. My time has come. It's harvest.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Hosea 4:1-5:15; 2 John 1:1-13; Psalm 125:1-5; Proverbs 29:9-11
