On this episode of the African blues podcast, we're going to be a discussing on the topic, “the worst consequential aspect of fear is when fear makes you short sighted “, making reference to the book of genesis, the story of abram and lot and we're just going to take some time to evaluate what exactly happens when we make decisions from a place of fear.
I hope you're blessed. Thank you so much.

and amen. So welcome back. I hope everybody's doing well today.
I'm going to be sharing on a topic that was
(01:30):
actually a subtopic back in my church back in China.
So our pastor is actually teaching us about fear, and
then he had given us like a subtopic for it
and asked us to complete it. And so the subtopic
was the worst consequential aspect of fear. Then we had
to complete it, like what is your definition of the
(01:52):
worst consequenttional aspect of fear? Depending on the season that
you're in, you know, the current state of your heart,
your mind, you saw your bodio spirit. So for me,
actually completely as saying is when fear makes you short sighted.
So the complete topic for today that we're going to
be discussing is the worst consequential aspect of fear is
(02:14):
when fear makes you short sighted. So, as many of
us may know, I'm going to give to definitions for
short sightedness. One which is medical that a lot of
us are aware of, which is being shortsighted. Is the
inability to see things clearly unless they are like relatively close.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
To your eyes.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Others also say people that are short sighted are as
blind as a but so our often In scripture, today's
coming from Psalms chapter one, verse five to verse six,
the bibaries, therefore the wicked do not stand in the
judgment nor sinners and the assembly of the righteous. But
the Lord watches over the way of the righteous. But
(02:54):
the way of the wicked leads to distraction. Amen to
continue about the topic of short sightedness. Now, the part
of it that we're going to be focusing on is
more of like a metaphorical definition, if I should call it.
And so being shortsighted is when you can't sit beyond
(03:15):
your current situation or circumstances, and therefore you're likely to
make decisions for the now without looking at the future
or seeking the Lord to understand better. So yeah, mostly
just looking for like instant gratification, which is like pleasure
or satisfaction that you get from something immediately, like without delay,
without even working for it. Another definition that we're going
(03:38):
to be focusing on, or we can just keep in
the back of our mind as we're going to be
getting into the Bible is that being short sightedness can
also mean that you're full of disapproval, or you don't
think enough about how an action will affect the future,
or you don't factor into the equation the long term
consequences of your actions, but rather focusing only on the
(03:58):
short term benefits. So for going to read from a
very familiar story, which is coming from Genesis chapter thirteen,
I'm going to from this one to thirteen. Just he
might be a long read, but just bear with me.
And so the Bible reads the subtopic here is Abram
and Lord separate. So the verse one says, so Abram
(04:22):
went up from Egypt to the Negev, and his wife
and everything he had and lot went with him. Abram
had become very wealthy in livestock and silver and God.
For those maybe that might not be aware, Abram here
is Lord's uncle. So Lord is Abram's nephew. From the negive,
he went from a place from place to place until
he came to Bethel, to the to Bethel and I
(04:45):
where his tent had been earlier. Remember, he had pitched
a tent in verse twelve and called on the name
of the Lord there at Bethel and i verse four,
and where he had first built an altar. There Abram
called in the name of the Lord. So there's five now, Lord,
who was about with Abraham. Also Abram also had flocks
and herds and tents. Please forgive me. I might just
(05:07):
be saying Abraham, because we know him as fat Abraham
from Santaysco So verse six. But the land could not
support them while they stayed together, for their positions were
so great that they were not able to stay together,
and quarreling arose between Abraham's herders and Lots. The cannon
Knight and the Perizides were also living in the land
at the time. So Abraham said to Lord, let's not
have any quarreling between you and mine, or between your
(05:29):
headers and mine, for we are close religious is not
the whole land before you. Let's part company. If you
go to the left, I'll go to the right. If
you go to the right, I'll go to the left.
Lot looked around and saw that the whole plane of
the Jordan towards Or was well watered, like the garden
of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. This was
(05:50):
before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomar, So Lot chose
for himself the whole plane of the Jordan, and set
out toward the east. The two men parted company. Abram
lived in the life of Canan. Whillot lived among the
cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom
and Verse the teen. Now the people of Sodom were
wicked and were singing greatly against the lord. So if
it just takes time to like google maybe to see
(06:13):
how the Jordan valley, what it looked like where Lot
had gone to and Canon where Abram's people went to,
you find that if you look at the pictures, like
there's a great difference. The place where a Lot went to,
like the Bible systems well watered. It had like the
river or stream, I don't know if we can call it.
You can check out the pictures. It was looking green,
well watered. Vegetation was good. But Cannan, the place where
(06:36):
Abraham was going to, it had like one tree, one well,
and like a tent I think where people would leave.
And it was dry. It had like dry mountains looking
like maybe like desert sand. It wasn't something that was
looking at all like would sustain them. But anyway, that
is where they went and they settled. Now, as I
(06:57):
was like looking at this story, I was just asking myself,
like what influenced lost decision on where he should go
and settle. The Bible says that he actually from the
description from what we readly says, he looked like he
takes him to just look around and look. He looked
at the place that was looking well watched. It looked beautiful,
(07:18):
It looked it was fertile. You know, it looked like
there was hope in that place. But then we know
that versutov It says that the place that was close
to Sdom, that's where he went and pitched his tent.
So I was asking myself and maybe we can help
each other. Was not making his decision to go and
settle in that place because of what he saw, like
(07:40):
because of how pleasant the place was looking. Was he
making the decision? Maybe because he was afraid of losing
what he had because of how the land was looking like,
maybe he was thinking if he took his people, his herdsman,
his skettle there and it's looking to drive, if he
decided to go the opposite direction, I mean like he
(08:01):
was looking to dry, it wouldn't sustain him and his people,
wasn't making the decision because of like the fear of
missing out like Foremre. I think a lot of us
know this because it was known to be a place
that was seeing against the lord. So maybe from Afar
for him, maybe was he not seeing seen was this
see like maybe it was this like it was the
happening place, was a happening moment.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
It's all vibes and inshallah, like that was the place,
you know?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Was he looking at it like yeah, that's where I
need to be He didn't want to miss out, or
maybe the fan that was going on there, or maybe
was the fear of him being not not being able
to provide, you know, for if let's say they went there,
it would like take a lot of time for them
to start, you know, maybe growing crops and imagine having
to fetch water from the world to go and water
(08:44):
your gardens, go and water your crops, that that would
be pretty hectic.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Or maybe was he.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Afraid of experiencing another femine because in Genesis chapter twelve ten,
I'll just quickly read that and it says, now there
was a femine in the land, and Abram went down
to Egypt to live there for a while, well, because
the femine was severe. Now, this is a story where
Abraham goes and then he lies that Sarah is not
his wife, and that story, so there was actually a
femine before that. So was not maybe afraid that maybe
(09:11):
if I go to that place, another feman might maybe
arise and I might get stuck.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Or was Uncle Lot just selfish? Was it just greedy?
And maybe was.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It just inconsiderate? But the one thing that we all,
I guess we've all come to understand is whatever reason
that we may give, whatever reasons we may give for
how we act, how we make decisions, there's always implications
and sometimes there could be disastrous results that might come
with that. Now, I was also just thinking, like from
a maybe it's Zambian perspective with an African perspective, but
(09:43):
I think it's an African thing because I've seen this
mean a lotto even like in movies, African movies. You
know when an elderly person offers maybe let's say you're
about to eat and they ask you to serve yourself first,
or maybe you're having to eat, maybe start shima, anything
that has to do with you in your hands and
they offer that you wash your hands first. Usually you
(10:04):
have to say no, they have to do it. So
like I was just thinking of it, like why didn't
Plaude tell Abraham to choose first? Like what in he said? Okay,
no uncle, how but you pick first? Then whatever you leave?
What is where I'm going to go? Why didn't he
think of that?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Anyway?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
That was just me thinking, right, we're going to take
a musical break, but I just want to close this
chapter with Philippins Stuves three to five from the Passion translation,
and the Biberies. Be free from pride filled opinions, for
they will only harm your cherished unity. Don't allow self
promotion to hide in your hearts. Be in authentic humility,
Put others first and view others is more important than yourselves.
(10:39):
Abandon every display of selfishness because this a greater concern
for what matters to others instead of your own interests.
And consider the example that Jesus the Anointed One has
said before us, let his mindset become your motivation.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
So we're gonna take the first musical break and then
come back. Will continue and we're going to be listening
from a song by mister Aphraim, the Son of Africa.
The son is entitled Kling Bless.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
I hoard welcome back. I hope you enjoyed the song.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
So we're going to part and now we're going to
jump from Genesis chapter thirteen. I'm going to read from
chapter eighteen now, and I'm going to start from verse
sixteen to twenty four. Then i'll jump to thirty two.
So sixteen the bibaries, when the men got up to leave,
they looked down towards Sodom, and Abraham walked along with
them to see them on their way. Then the Lord said,
(15:20):
shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do.
Abraham will surely become a greater and powerful nation, and
all nations on earth will be blessed through him, For
I have chosen him so that he will direct his
children and his household after him to keep the way
of the Lord by doing what is right and just,
so that the Lord will bring for Abraham what he
has promised him. So a little bit of a backstory.
(15:42):
This is when they three the visitors, the angels that
visited Abraham and told his wife Sarah that she was
going to have a child by the time next year.
We're not about the entire the whole visit of the angels,
so they're about to leave. So naverse twenty the Bible
read is and the Lord said, the outcry against Sodom
and Gomore So at this point, so before they leave,
God is actually wondering, like, should I hide from my
(16:04):
friend Abraham what I'm going to do? But then he
decided to just tell him, you know, because that's how
much he valued his relationship with him. If I should say,
then the Lord said, the outcry against sudo man Goom
Mary is so great and there's seemed so grievous that
I will go down and see if what they have
done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
If not, I won't know.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
The men turned away and went towards Sodom, and Abraham
remained standing before the Lord. Then Abraham approached him and said,
will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What
if there are fifty righteous people in the city, will
you really sweep it away and not spare the place
for the seck of the fifty righteous people in it?
So I'm going to jump to verse thirty two, and
(16:44):
the Bible reads. Then he said, may the Lord not
be angry, but let me speak just once more. What
if only ten people have found he answered, for the
selk of the ten, I will not destroy it. So
at this point Abraham is trying to negotiate with God,
to lead with God concerning Sodom, because he remembers that
his nephew is actually close there. So he's asking God,
(17:08):
if there are fifty people, will you still destroy the
city or spare it for those fifty righteous people? He says,
if they're fifty, I will not destroy. He reduced the
number to forty five thirty. He brought it all the
way to twenty twenty five ten until God was like,
I think this is the last one that I read
from the study to ten. And he said, if there
are ten righteous people, I will still spare it for
(17:30):
the sake of bloss ten. And then I'm going to
now jump to chapter nineteen, and I read from verse
one to eight and the bibaries. The two angels arrived
at Sodom in the evening. A lot was sitting in
the gate of the city. When he saw them. He
got up to meet The man bowed down with his
face to the ground. My lords, he said, please turn
aside to your sevant's house. You can wash your feet
(17:50):
and spend the night and then go on your way
in the early morning. No, they answered, we will spend
the morning in the square. But he insisted so strongly
that they did go with him and entered his house.
He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without east,
and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all
the men from every part of the city of Sodom,
both young and odd, surrounded the house. They called out
(18:11):
to Lot, where are the men who came to you tonight?
Bring the matter that we can sleep with them. Lot
went outside to meet the man, shut the door behind
him and said, no, my friends, don't do this wicked thing. Look,
I have two daughters who have never sleeped with the man.
Let them bring Let me bring them to you, and
you can do what you like with them. But don't
(18:32):
do anything with these men, for they have come under
the protection of my roof.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I don't know why I'm lucked, Okay, I'm just thinking
of it. See, there were a lot of according to
the Bible, there were a lot of young men and
older men that wanted to come in and sleep with
the two people, the two angels that came. And then
Lot is offering his two daughters.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
For that many men.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That I mean like that would be so tramatic, unless
luck would really really be so traumatic.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
But anyway, I digressed.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
So, now having understood what we've read from Genesis chapter
eighteen and chapter nineteen, that the first question that was
going through my mind was, like, what gave those men
the audacity to go to Lot's house and make such
a demand like them wanting to go and sleep with
the men that came and imagine, look, those were angels
that came from God, literally sent from God. Like, what
(19:24):
would have made those people to go to Lot's house
and want to do such a very grievous, devilish thing?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You know?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Was there a loophole in Lord's life? Was there something
wrong with Lot?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
He's leaving his un court righteousness? Did he open any
door in his life that allowed the enemy to, you know,
take advantage of him? The Bible talks about, i think,
in one of the gospels, how that no one can
enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods unless,
like the strong man was bound. So is the possibility
that maybe he didn't know, but he had opened the
(19:59):
door for the enemy take advantage of him. And now
the second question that I have is because eventually we
get to understand that God destroyed Sodom, but previously Abraham
had been pleading with God, and he asked if there
were fifty people, if they're ten, would just spare the place.
And God say that if we were even up to
(20:19):
ten people, he would spare the place. So is there
a possibility that there was no cotton court righteousness in
Lot's life? Because then at the end of the day
got to destroyed Sodom and Gomarra. So like what kind
of life was Lot living?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Really?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Like what kind of life was he living? But then
one thing that we get to also understand this chapter nineteen,
verse twenty nine, the biberries, which I find very interesting
and profound. So when God destroyed the cities of the plane,
he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the
catastrophe that overthrew the cities where a Lot had lived.
(20:56):
God remembered Abraham, not Lot. I think that from just
from this verse. One thing that I picked up from
here is it's really important, like wherever you're coming from
your home, maybe spiritual authority, people that have brought you up,
they've been helping you. Like no matter where you find yourself,
(21:18):
what you're doing, how, no matter how successful you may be,
no matter how much knowledge you may you know attain like,
never reach a point where you remove the covering of
like of yourself from them, if I'm saying the right thing,
but like, just don't leave that place of accountability where
they cover you. Because if we look at this story,
(21:40):
the Bible does not say God remembered Lot, but it's
because of the relationship that Abraham had with God that
Lot was remembered. So is it possible that there's some
of us who are just going about our lives, our
days and the only thing that is carrying us is
because of the relationship that God has with our parents
or guardians or the spiritual or thor that we have
on us. Left to us, would not even be on
(22:05):
this earth, or maybe would not even be enjoying the
kind of life the grace that we're walking in. So
I think that's also another important point, just to check ourselves,
you know, like, no matter where we may be, the
people that are older than us, that have gone ahead
of us, they have seen it, or they've experienced it,
or they have the wisdom, they have the counsel, they
have their understanding. So even inasmuch as we can understand
(22:25):
Instagram better TikTok better, go go better, and they're only
catching up.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
We cannot say like we know more than they do.
We really do not.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
So I think that was just I digressed a little bit.
But it's just really important that we shouldn't be a
people that are quick to remove accountability from our lives.
Let's look at what resulted in Lot's decision, the place
where he went and dwelled. I'm just going to pick
out three things. And the first thing I'm going to
pick out that actually resulted in the decision that Lot
(22:57):
had made is that Lot lost his dwelling like he
lost his dwelling place. What I mean by that he
got displaced. Milly means that way he got displaced. In
Genesis chapter nineteen, there's thirteen the Biberies, a Lot and
his daughters left Zor and settled in the mountains, for
he was afraid to stay in Zor. Him and his
(23:20):
daughters lived.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
In a cave. Imagine leaving a plain, well watered land,
a valley that was filled with everything that he needed
to go and live in a cave, a place of hiding,
a dark place, because I don't know if the caves
back then had light, and I don't know if it's
any cave that has light, but we know, like when
you think of a cave, it's a place that is
really dark.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You literally have access to nothing. From a place where
he had everything to a place where he had nothing.
This is something that usually happens to many of us,
myself inclusive, when you end up making decisions where you
don't actually get to factor in what the future consequences
may be. Another thing that happened is that he lost
his possessions. But we get to understand from the same
(24:03):
Jonesys chapter nineteen, is that the Bible says God rained
down burning sulfurs, so everything burnt down literally, so everything
that he got, the kettle that he got, the herd, mean,
everything that he owned.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Got burnt down.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
So he had literally nothing to work with, nothing to
you know, start with. Everything just went just because of
what he saw and him making the decision based on
what he saw. Another thing that resulted in his decision
was sin manifestation in his family. So from Jesseys chapter thirty,
I'm going to read thirty one to thirty six, and
(24:40):
the Bible reads one day the other daughter said to
the younger, our father is old and there is no
man around here to give us children, as the custom
all over the earth. Let's get our further drunk with wine,
asleep with him to preserve our family mine through our father.
I won't take time to read everything, but maybe we
can just read. So it all happened that the the
older daughter slept with the father became pregnant. The last
(25:04):
one also did the same thing and became pregnant, and
that was that. And how they did it was they
got him drunk. They got him so drunk that he
didn't know what was happening. And that's how they slept
with their father. And we get to see that some
of these things we might never know the implications we
might think was even then they saw what was happening
and they're like, oh well these are not looking up.
(25:26):
Let's do something now because we don't know what the
future holds, which I believe is a little bit of
a trait that we see in Lot himself making a
decision based on what he's seen in the moment, and
so the daughters also make a decision based on what
they were seeing in the moment, because I mean, Abraham
was still there with the herdsmen and whatnot. Is there
a possibility now this is just me thinking. This is
(25:47):
just me thinking, is there a possibility that if they
had waited, they could have maybe gotten married to people
from Abraham's side, they didn't have to sleep with their father.
But we get to see that these are some of
the things the consequences that we face when we make decisions,
you know, just to gratify our now, to get immediate results,
immediate pleasure, you know, the thing that to just make
(26:11):
sure we get quick wings, first gains, and so move on.
Among the many other things that I've talked about, I
got to learn from this story is that like no
matter what you do where you find yourself, do not
compromise on your values, Do not compromise on who you are,
your convictions, do not compromise on your identity in Christ.
And no matter how things can look around you, at
(26:32):
the end of the day, guess who holds the world
in the palm of his hands is God. Even the
kings and the rulers of this earth, they were made
by God and God still owns them. So there is
nothing on this earth that should ever make you think
or feel like you have to do something. In the
moment you know you have to do something, now you
cannot delay, you cannot wait. You have to get the
instant answer, the instant gratification, because you're afraid that you
(26:55):
don't know what tomorrow, what the future holds tomorrow, and
the future belongs to God. So if you can trust
God enough that he holds your future and you tomorrow
in his hands, be a shure that you're covered. So
instant gratification is really dangerous, and I think one thing
that we have learned is that it can be very misleading,
like we have seen in the case of Lot. You
think you're doing the right thing, but at the end
(27:16):
of it is just distraction that's line ahead of you
when you make decisions just based on in instant gratification,
it contributes to lack of patience, which patience is the
fruit of the spirit. Imagine like you're lacking You're saying
you have a spirit in you, but there's actually nothing
because you're trying to do everything right there and then
to get some quick wins, you know, some first gains.
I just hope and pray that at the end of
(27:37):
the day, by God's grace, He's going to help us
to know how to do better, to know how to
do things better and My prayer for us is that
go to open our eyes to see the air as well.
We've been shortsighted, and that we may see Jesus for
who he really is. When he says it's a provider,
He's not a provider to these particular people, this particular family,
(28:00):
this particular continent. No, when it says a provider is
a provider for anybody and everybody. So be raised assured
that He's got you. And most importantly, I pray that
God is going to help us to expel the spirit
of fear from us. The Bible says, not giving us
a spirit of fear, but of love and of power
and of a sound mind.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
That will not be a.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
People that are making decisions based on fear. Rather, we're
going to be consistent, if I should say, we're going
to be consistent in using his word as a standard
for our leaving. So thank you so much. I hope
you've been blessed. I'm going to close the second Korean
except of four, verse seventeen, taking it from the message
translation the Bible is, these hard times are small potatoes
(28:40):
compared to the comming good times. The love is celebration
prepared for us. So I hope you've been blessed by
today's discussion. Thank you again for listening. I'm going to
be signing out with a song by Anatoia and it's
stay with me. Be blessed as you listen and until
next time. This was Nesca on the African Blas podcast.

I pray with thanksgiving and praise in my heart. Amen
and amen. So welcome back. I hope everybody's doing well today.
I'm going to be sharing on a topic that was
(01:30):
actually a subtopic back in my church back in China.
So our pastor is actually teaching us about fear, and
then he had given us like a subtopic for it
and asked us to complete it. And so the subtopic
was the worst consequential aspect of fear. Then we had
to complete it, like what is your definition of the
(01:52):
worst consequenttional aspect of fear? Depending on the season that
you're in, you know, the current state of your heart,
your mind, you saw your bodio spirit. So for me,
actually completely as saying is when fear makes you short sighted.
So the complete topic for today that we're going to
be discussing is the worst consequential aspect of fear is
(02:14):
when fear makes you short sighted. So, as many of
us may know, I'm going to give to definitions for
short sightedness. One which is medical that a lot of
us are aware of, which is being shortsighted. Is the
inability to see things clearly unless they are like relatively close.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
To your eyes.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Others also say people that are short sighted are as
blind as a but so our often In scripture, today's
coming from Psalms chapter one, verse five to verse six,
the bibaries, therefore the wicked do not stand in the
judgment nor sinners and the assembly of the righteous. But
the Lord watches over the way of the righteous. But
(02:54):
the way of the wicked leads to distraction. Amen to
continue about the topic of short sightedness. Now, the part
of it that we're going to be focusing on is
more of like a metaphorical definition, if I should call it.
And so being shortsighted is when you can't sit beyond
(03:15):
your current situation or circumstances, and therefore you're likely to
make decisions for the now without looking at the future
or seeking the Lord to understand better. So yeah, mostly
just looking for like instant gratification, which is like pleasure
or satisfaction that you get from something immediately, like without delay,
without even working for it. Another definition that we're going
(03:38):
to be focusing on, or we can just keep in
the back of our mind as we're going to be
getting into the Bible is that being short sightedness can
also mean that you're full of disapproval, or you don't
think enough about how an action will affect the future,
or you don't factor into the equation the long term
consequences of your actions, but rather focusing only on the
(03:58):
short term benefits. So for going to read from a
very familiar story, which is coming from Genesis chapter thirteen,
I'm going to from this one to thirteen. Just he
might be a long read, but just bear with me.
And so the Bible reads the subtopic here is Abram
and Lord separate. So the verse one says, so Abram
(04:22):
went up from Egypt to the Negev, and his wife
and everything he had and lot went with him. Abram
had become very wealthy in livestock and silver and God.
For those maybe that might not be aware, Abram here
is Lord's uncle. So Lord is Abram's nephew. From the negive,
he went from a place from place to place until
he came to Bethel, to the to Bethel and I
(04:45):
where his tent had been earlier. Remember, he had pitched
a tent in verse twelve and called on the name
of the Lord there at Bethel and i verse four,
and where he had first built an altar. There Abram
called in the name of the Lord. So there's five now, Lord,
who was about with Abraham. Also Abram also had flocks
and herds and tents. Please forgive me. I might just
(05:07):
be saying Abraham, because we know him as fat Abraham
from Santaysco So verse six. But the land could not
support them while they stayed together, for their positions were
so great that they were not able to stay together,
and quarreling arose between Abraham's herders and Lots. The cannon
Knight and the Perizides were also living in the land
at the time. So Abraham said to Lord, let's not
have any quarreling between you and mine, or between your
(05:29):
headers and mine, for we are close religious is not
the whole land before you. Let's part company. If you
go to the left, I'll go to the right. If
you go to the right, I'll go to the left.
Lot looked around and saw that the whole plane of
the Jordan towards Or was well watered, like the garden
of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. This was
(05:50):
before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomar, So Lot chose
for himself the whole plane of the Jordan, and set
out toward the east. The two men parted company. Abram
lived in the life of Canan. Whillot lived among the
cities of the plain and pitched his tents near Sodom
and Verse the teen. Now the people of Sodom were
wicked and were singing greatly against the lord. So if
it just takes time to like google maybe to see
(06:13):
how the Jordan valley, what it looked like where Lot
had gone to and Canon where Abram's people went to,
you find that if you look at the pictures, like
there's a great difference. The place where a Lot went to,
like the Bible systems well watered. It had like the
river or stream, I don't know if we can call it.
You can check out the pictures. It was looking green,
well watered. Vegetation was good. But Cannan, the place where
(06:36):
Abraham was going to, it had like one tree, one well,
and like a tent I think where people would leave.
And it was dry. It had like dry mountains looking
like maybe like desert sand. It wasn't something that was
looking at all like would sustain them. But anyway, that
is where they went and they settled. Now, as I
(06:57):
was like looking at this story, I was just asking myself,
like what influenced lost decision on where he should go
and settle. The Bible says that he actually from the
description from what we readly says, he looked like he
takes him to just look around and look. He looked
at the place that was looking well watched. It looked beautiful,
(07:18):
It looked it was fertile. You know, it looked like
there was hope in that place. But then we know
that versutov It says that the place that was close
to Sdom, that's where he went and pitched his tent.
So I was asking myself and maybe we can help
each other. Was not making his decision to go and
settle in that place because of what he saw, like
(07:40):
because of how pleasant the place was looking. Was he
making the decision? Maybe because he was afraid of losing
what he had because of how the land was looking like,
maybe he was thinking if he took his people, his herdsman,
his skettle there and it's looking to drive, if he
decided to go the opposite direction, I mean like he
(08:01):
was looking to dry, it wouldn't sustain him and his people,
wasn't making the decision because of like the fear of
missing out like Foremre. I think a lot of us
know this because it was known to be a place
that was seeing against the lord. So maybe from Afar
for him, maybe was he not seeing seen was this
see like maybe it was this like it was the
happening place, was a happening moment.
Speaker 5 (08:20):
It's all vibes and inshallah, like that was the place,
you know?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Was he looking at it like yeah, that's where I
need to be He didn't want to miss out, or
maybe the fan that was going on there, or maybe
was the fear of him being not not being able
to provide, you know, for if let's say they went there,
it would like take a lot of time for them
to start, you know, maybe growing crops and imagine having
to fetch water from the world to go and water
(08:44):
your gardens, go and water your crops, that that would
be pretty hectic.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
Or maybe was he.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Afraid of experiencing another femine because in Genesis chapter twelve ten,
I'll just quickly read that and it says, now there
was a femine in the land, and Abram went down
to Egypt to live there for a while, well, because
the femine was severe. Now, this is a story where
Abraham goes and then he lies that Sarah is not
his wife, and that story, so there was actually a
femine before that. So was not maybe afraid that maybe
(09:11):
if I go to that place, another feman might maybe
arise and I might get stuck.
Speaker 5 (09:16):
Or was Uncle Lot just selfish? Was it just greedy?
And maybe was.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It just inconsiderate? But the one thing that we all,
I guess we've all come to understand is whatever reason
that we may give, whatever reasons we may give for
how we act, how we make decisions, there's always implications
and sometimes there could be disastrous results that might come
with that. Now, I was also just thinking, like from
a maybe it's Zambian perspective with an African perspective, but
(09:43):
I think it's an African thing because I've seen this
mean a lotto even like in movies, African movies. You
know when an elderly person offers maybe let's say you're
about to eat and they ask you to serve yourself first,
or maybe you're having to eat, maybe start shima, anything
that has to do with you in your hands and
they offer that you wash your hands first. Usually you
(10:04):
have to say no, they have to do it. So
like I was just thinking of it, like why didn't
Plaude tell Abraham to choose first? Like what in he said? Okay,
no uncle, how but you pick first? Then whatever you leave?
What is where I'm going to go? Why didn't he
think of that?
Speaker 5 (10:18):
Anyway?
Speaker 4 (10:18):
That was just me thinking, right, we're going to take
a musical break, but I just want to close this
chapter with Philippins Stuves three to five from the Passion translation,
and the Biberies. Be free from pride filled opinions, for
they will only harm your cherished unity. Don't allow self
promotion to hide in your hearts. Be in authentic humility,
Put others first and view others is more important than yourselves.
(10:39):
Abandon every display of selfishness because this a greater concern
for what matters to others instead of your own interests.
And consider the example that Jesus the Anointed One has
said before us, let his mindset become your motivation.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
So we're gonna take the first musical break and then
come back. Will continue and we're going to be listening
from a song by mister Aphraim, the Son of Africa.
The son is entitled Kling Bless.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
I hoard welcome back. I hope you enjoyed the song.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
So we're going to part and now we're going to
jump from Genesis chapter thirteen. I'm going to read from
chapter eighteen now, and I'm going to start from verse
sixteen to twenty four. Then i'll jump to thirty two.
So sixteen the bibaries, when the men got up to leave,
they looked down towards Sodom, and Abraham walked along with
them to see them on their way. Then the Lord said,
(15:20):
shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do.
Abraham will surely become a greater and powerful nation, and
all nations on earth will be blessed through him, For
I have chosen him so that he will direct his
children and his household after him to keep the way
of the Lord by doing what is right and just,
so that the Lord will bring for Abraham what he
has promised him. So a little bit of a backstory.
(15:42):
This is when they three the visitors, the angels that
visited Abraham and told his wife Sarah that she was
going to have a child by the time next year.
We're not about the entire the whole visit of the angels,
so they're about to leave. So naverse twenty the Bible
read is and the Lord said, the outcry against Sodom
and Gomore So at this point, so before they leave,
God is actually wondering, like, should I hide from my
(16:04):
friend Abraham what I'm going to do? But then he
decided to just tell him, you know, because that's how
much he valued his relationship with him. If I should say,
then the Lord said, the outcry against sudo man Goom
Mary is so great and there's seemed so grievous that
I will go down and see if what they have
done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me.
Speaker 5 (16:21):
If not, I won't know.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
The men turned away and went towards Sodom, and Abraham
remained standing before the Lord. Then Abraham approached him and said,
will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? What
if there are fifty righteous people in the city, will
you really sweep it away and not spare the place
for the seck of the fifty righteous people in it?
So I'm going to jump to verse thirty two, and
(16:44):
the Bible reads. Then he said, may the Lord not
be angry, but let me speak just once more. What
if only ten people have found he answered, for the
selk of the ten, I will not destroy it. So
at this point Abraham is trying to negotiate with God,
to lead with God concerning Sodom, because he remembers that
his nephew is actually close there. So he's asking God,
(17:08):
if there are fifty people, will you still destroy the
city or spare it for those fifty righteous people? He says,
if they're fifty, I will not destroy. He reduced the
number to forty five thirty. He brought it all the
way to twenty twenty five ten until God was like,
I think this is the last one that I read
from the study to ten. And he said, if there
are ten righteous people, I will still spare it for
(17:30):
the sake of bloss ten. And then I'm going to
now jump to chapter nineteen, and I read from verse
one to eight and the bibaries. The two angels arrived
at Sodom in the evening. A lot was sitting in
the gate of the city. When he saw them. He
got up to meet The man bowed down with his
face to the ground. My lords, he said, please turn
aside to your sevant's house. You can wash your feet
(17:50):
and spend the night and then go on your way
in the early morning. No, they answered, we will spend
the morning in the square. But he insisted so strongly
that they did go with him and entered his house.
He prepared a meal for them, baking bread without east,
and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, all
the men from every part of the city of Sodom,
both young and odd, surrounded the house. They called out
(18:11):
to Lot, where are the men who came to you tonight?
Bring the matter that we can sleep with them. Lot
went outside to meet the man, shut the door behind
him and said, no, my friends, don't do this wicked thing. Look,
I have two daughters who have never sleeped with the man.
Let them bring Let me bring them to you, and
you can do what you like with them. But don't
(18:32):
do anything with these men, for they have come under
the protection of my roof.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
I don't know why I'm lucked, Okay, I'm just thinking
of it. See, there were a lot of according to
the Bible, there were a lot of young men and
older men that wanted to come in and sleep with
the two people, the two angels that came. And then
Lot is offering his two daughters.
Speaker 5 (18:54):
For that many men.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
That I mean like that would be so tramatic, unless
luck would really really be so traumatic.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
But anyway, I digressed.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
So, now having understood what we've read from Genesis chapter
eighteen and chapter nineteen, that the first question that was
going through my mind was, like, what gave those men
the audacity to go to Lot's house and make such
a demand like them wanting to go and sleep with
the men that came and imagine, look, those were angels
that came from God, literally sent from God. Like, what
(19:24):
would have made those people to go to Lot's house
and want to do such a very grievous, devilish thing?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
You know?
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Was there a loophole in Lord's life? Was there something
wrong with Lot?
Speaker 4 (19:36):
He's leaving his un court righteousness? Did he open any
door in his life that allowed the enemy to, you know,
take advantage of him? The Bible talks about, i think,
in one of the gospels, how that no one can
enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods unless,
like the strong man was bound. So is the possibility
that maybe he didn't know, but he had opened the
(19:59):
door for the enemy take advantage of him. And now
the second question that I have is because eventually we
get to understand that God destroyed Sodom, but previously Abraham
had been pleading with God, and he asked if there
were fifty people, if they're ten, would just spare the place.
And God say that if we were even up to
(20:19):
ten people, he would spare the place. So is there
a possibility that there was no cotton court righteousness in
Lot's life? Because then at the end of the day
got to destroyed Sodom and Gomarra. So like what kind
of life was Lot living?
Speaker 5 (20:33):
Really?
Speaker 4 (20:34):
Like what kind of life was he living? But then
one thing that we get to also understand this chapter nineteen,
verse twenty nine, the biberries, which I find very interesting
and profound. So when God destroyed the cities of the plane,
he remembered Abraham, and he brought Lot out of the
catastrophe that overthrew the cities where a Lot had lived.
(20:56):
God remembered Abraham, not Lot. I think that from just
from this verse. One thing that I picked up from
here is it's really important, like wherever you're coming from
your home, maybe spiritual authority, people that have brought you up,
they've been helping you. Like no matter where you find yourself,
(21:18):
what you're doing, how, no matter how successful you may be,
no matter how much knowledge you may you know attain like,
never reach a point where you remove the covering of
like of yourself from them, if I'm saying the right thing,
but like, just don't leave that place of accountability where
they cover you. Because if we look at this story,
(21:40):
the Bible does not say God remembered Lot, but it's
because of the relationship that Abraham had with God that
Lot was remembered. So is it possible that there's some
of us who are just going about our lives, our
days and the only thing that is carrying us is
because of the relationship that God has with our parents
or guardians or the spiritual or thor that we have
on us. Left to us, would not even be on
(22:05):
this earth, or maybe would not even be enjoying the
kind of life the grace that we're walking in. So
I think that's also another important point, just to check ourselves,
you know, like, no matter where we may be, the
people that are older than us, that have gone ahead
of us, they have seen it, or they've experienced it,
or they have the wisdom, they have the counsel, they
have their understanding. So even inasmuch as we can understand
(22:25):
Instagram better TikTok better, go go better, and they're only
catching up.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
Now.
Speaker 5 (22:30):
We cannot say like we know more than they do.
We really do not.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
So I think that was just I digressed a little bit.
But it's just really important that we shouldn't be a
people that are quick to remove accountability from our lives.
Let's look at what resulted in Lot's decision, the place
where he went and dwelled. I'm just going to pick
out three things. And the first thing I'm going to
pick out that actually resulted in the decision that Lot
(22:57):
had made is that Lot lost his dwelling like he
lost his dwelling place. What I mean by that he
got displaced. Milly means that way he got displaced. In
Genesis chapter nineteen, there's thirteen the Biberies, a Lot and
his daughters left Zor and settled in the mountains, for
he was afraid to stay in Zor. Him and his
(23:20):
daughters lived.
Speaker 5 (23:21):
In a cave. Imagine leaving a plain, well watered land,
a valley that was filled with everything that he needed
to go and live in a cave, a place of hiding,
a dark place, because I don't know if the caves
back then had light, and I don't know if it's
any cave that has light, but we know, like when
you think of a cave, it's a place that is
really dark.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
You literally have access to nothing. From a place where
he had everything to a place where he had nothing.
This is something that usually happens to many of us,
myself inclusive, when you end up making decisions where you
don't actually get to factor in what the future consequences
may be. Another thing that happened is that he lost
his possessions. But we get to understand from the same
(24:03):
Jonesys chapter nineteen, is that the Bible says God rained
down burning sulfurs, so everything burnt down literally, so everything
that he got, the kettle that he got, the herd, mean,
everything that he owned.
Speaker 5 (24:17):
Got burnt down.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
So he had literally nothing to work with, nothing to
you know, start with. Everything just went just because of
what he saw and him making the decision based on
what he saw. Another thing that resulted in his decision
was sin manifestation in his family. So from Jesseys chapter thirty,
I'm going to read thirty one to thirty six, and
(24:40):
the Bible reads one day the other daughter said to
the younger, our father is old and there is no
man around here to give us children, as the custom
all over the earth. Let's get our further drunk with wine,
asleep with him to preserve our family mine through our father.
I won't take time to read everything, but maybe we
can just read. So it all happened that the the
older daughter slept with the father became pregnant. The last
(25:04):
one also did the same thing and became pregnant, and
that was that. And how they did it was they
got him drunk. They got him so drunk that he
didn't know what was happening. And that's how they slept
with their father. And we get to see that some
of these things we might never know the implications we
might think was even then they saw what was happening
and they're like, oh well these are not looking up.
(25:26):
Let's do something now because we don't know what the
future holds, which I believe is a little bit of
a trait that we see in Lot himself making a
decision based on what he's seen in the moment, and
so the daughters also make a decision based on what
they were seeing in the moment, because I mean, Abraham
was still there with the herdsmen and whatnot. Is there
a possibility now this is just me thinking. This is
(25:47):
just me thinking, is there a possibility that if they
had waited, they could have maybe gotten married to people
from Abraham's side, they didn't have to sleep with their father.
But we get to see that these are some of
the things the consequences that we face when we make decisions,
you know, just to gratify our now, to get immediate results,
immediate pleasure, you know, the thing that to just make
(26:11):
sure we get quick wings, first gains, and so move on.
Among the many other things that I've talked about, I
got to learn from this story is that like no
matter what you do where you find yourself, do not
compromise on your values, Do not compromise on who you are,
your convictions, do not compromise on your identity in Christ.
And no matter how things can look around you, at
(26:32):
the end of the day, guess who holds the world
in the palm of his hands is God. Even the
kings and the rulers of this earth, they were made
by God and God still owns them. So there is
nothing on this earth that should ever make you think
or feel like you have to do something. In the
moment you know you have to do something, now you
cannot delay, you cannot wait. You have to get the
instant answer, the instant gratification, because you're afraid that you
(26:55):
don't know what tomorrow, what the future holds tomorrow, and
the future belongs to God. So if you can trust
God enough that he holds your future and you tomorrow
in his hands, be a shure that you're covered. So
instant gratification is really dangerous, and I think one thing
that we have learned is that it can be very misleading,
like we have seen in the case of Lot. You
think you're doing the right thing, but at the end
(27:16):
of it is just distraction that's line ahead of you
when you make decisions just based on in instant gratification,
it contributes to lack of patience, which patience is the
fruit of the spirit. Imagine like you're lacking You're saying
you have a spirit in you, but there's actually nothing
because you're trying to do everything right there and then
to get some quick wins, you know, some first gains.
I just hope and pray that at the end of
(27:37):
the day, by God's grace, He's going to help us
to know how to do better, to know how to
do things better and My prayer for us is that
go to open our eyes to see the air as well.
We've been shortsighted, and that we may see Jesus for
who he really is. When he says it's a provider,
He's not a provider to these particular people, this particular family,
(28:00):
this particular continent. No, when it says a provider is
a provider for anybody and everybody. So be raised assured
that He's got you. And most importantly, I pray that
God is going to help us to expel the spirit
of fear from us. The Bible says, not giving us
a spirit of fear, but of love and of power
and of a sound mind.
Speaker 5 (28:18):
That will not be a.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
People that are making decisions based on fear. Rather, we're
going to be consistent, if I should say, we're going
to be consistent in using his word as a standard
for our leaving. So thank you so much. I hope
you've been blessed. I'm going to close the second Korean
except of four, verse seventeen, taking it from the message
translation the Bible is, these hard times are small potatoes
(28:40):
compared to the comming good times. The love is celebration
prepared for us. So I hope you've been blessed by
today's discussion. Thank you again for listening. I'm going to
be signing out with a song by Anatoia and it's
stay with me. Be blessed as you listen and until
next time. This was Nesca on the African Blas podcast.
