Speaker 1 (00:00):
And this is a signal to all of us.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Don't ever let strangers come between family members and separate them.
My son, don't ever let your friends separate you from
your brother and your sister, my daughter. Don't ever let
the flock of Abram and the flock of Loud mix together.
And the shepherds started fighting against each other, saying, this
is my land, this is my land, this is my territory,
(00:22):
this is my territory. Abram came to Loud, and he said, look,
we are family. We should never let strangers come between
us and separate us. And this is a signal to
all of us. Don't ever let strangers come between family
members and separate them, my son. Don't ever let your
friends separate you from your brother and your sister, my daughter.
(00:44):
Don't ever let your friends separate you from your dad,
from your mom, from your siblings, because they are strangers.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
When it comes to.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Your own family, don't ever do that. Family comes first.
So Abram called Loud, being the uncle the oldest, he said, look,
we are family. Don't let strangers come between us. Therefore,
I'll give you Lord the first preference. Look around and
(01:13):
choose a land, and.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
God be with you.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Loud looked around, and his eyes fell on this green,
lush land.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
What is rivers of water is gushing through it.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
He said, this land is going to be good for me,
for my family, and for my flock. He goes there
and it ended up being Sodom and Gomera. Sodom and Gomera,
Loud got separated from Ebram. It was then and then
only God took Abram to the Promised Land. But it
(01:46):
took many ease. Would have taken a few weeks for
Abram to get to the Promised Land. It took ease
and ease. Why because Abram did not adhere fully to
the voice of God when he said to him, you, Abram,
follow me. Don't bring me the family. You put Dad
(02:06):
before me, I'll take him. You put your nephew before me,
I'll take him. You put anyone before me, I'll take
until you make me by God, the first and the
last in your life. You put God first. He will
(02:27):
give you everything family and everything the family needs. It's
not that God is taken the family when you are
putting that family before him. No, but the protection, the
blessings are gone. You cannot protect your family as a
(02:48):
man without God. So you need him first in order
to protect you. If you put yourself before him, the
Lord says, well, I'm not the protector you are, so
I'll leave you to it and let me see what
you're going to do. Before you blink your eyes, my
son Satan would have devoured you and your family with you.
(03:09):
The only one who overcame Satan is Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Period.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
You can't fight unless you are embedded in Christ, and
to be embedded put him first always.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You can't do it. Ask for his help. Lord, I'm weak.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Please give me the strength, the wisdom, the courage, the grace,
the give me. Give me, give me whatever I need,
so I can always make your first Lord, and I
be lost. You lead, I follow, Lord Jesus
