17 And when Abram
was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I
am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
2 And I will make my
covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.
3 And Abram fell on
his face: and God talked with him, saying,
4 As for me, behold,
my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.
5 Neither shall thy
name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of
many nations have I made thee.
6 And I will make
thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come
out of thee.
7 And I will
establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their
generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed
after thee.
8 And I will give
unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger,
all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
9 And God said unto
Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee
in their generations.
10 This is my
covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee;
Every man child among you shall be circumcised.
Genesis 17:1-10King
James Version (KJV)
There are some things that GOD will not readily give you,
like GOD did not readily Abraham his children... GOD got Abraham to come on board
with HIM, for Abraham to really understand the reason why HE was going to bless
him... Abraham was going to be the Father of many nations, GOD did not let
it just happen, but by drawing the
sketch or plan with Abraham. GOD got Abraham to understand the essence and
quality of his future blessings, and with this you will realize there was a big
wait period for Abraham. It was so long when GOD said the promise was about to
come to effect, Abraham said it won't be possible... His relationship with GOD
is one we can all reckon with...
