Abraham father of many Nation's

Remember this Song?

🎶🎶 " Father Abraham had many sons, Many sons had father Abraham. I am one of them and so you are. So lets all praised the Lord". 🎶🎶

According to tradition Abraham was born and named Abram in the city of UR in Mesopotamia ( modern day Iraq) near the banks of the River Eupharates around 1800 BC.

His father, Teach, was a.maker and merchant of idols of pagan gods.

During his childhood, Abram questioned the people's worship of idols as he searched for the truth about the living God. He began to believe that the world was created by an Almighty Creator.

It was said that one day, he took a hammer and smashed all the idols his father was selling except the largest one. In a brave display of wit, he placed the hammer in its hand and told his father that the remaining idol had smashed the rest.

His father told him that the idols had no life and couldn't do anything..

Abram replied. " Then why do you worship them?"

Question that his father did not answer and wondered why

In the middle part of his life, the one true Creator that Abram had worshipped called him, and made him an offer. The offer is he will left his home and family and went to a place where God directs him. He would be bless him and make him the father of nation.

Abram accepted the offered covenant between the Almighty God and the Jewish people was established as recorded in Genesis chapter 12 in the Bible. 📖😇

Abram took Sarai his wife, his nephew lot, and all their possessions that they had gathered and went to the city of Haran. Stayed there for several years.

• When he was 75 years old, they left Haran, and travelled to the town of Shechem in Canaan, the land promised to them by God.

As a man of compassion, he pleaded before God to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah from destruction if there were at least 10 righteous men found in them. To this appeal, God acceded but had to eventually destroy these cities when no one righteous men were found.

At the aged of 99, God declared his new name to be "ABRAHAM" which meant "Father of Many Nations".

This devine agreement is referred to as the" Abrahamic Covenant " which simply states that God will be the God of his nation, and his nation will be God's chosen people.

He and his wife were later given a son named Isaac despite their advance age, a sign that the Almighty God has fulfilled His promise.

Abraham's biggest test of faith when he was ordered by God to kill Isaac and offer him as a burnt offering. Despite waiting all his life to have a son, he obeyed the instruction and brought Isaac to a mountain to be sacrificed.

• As he was about to slaughter his son, an angel of God prevented him from carrying out the act, saying that his obedience was just being put to the test.. ABRAHAM has passed the ultimate challenge of faith..

• Because of his unwavering faith in the Almighty God, Abraham played a very important role not only for the Jews, but also for Christians and Muslim as well.

I share ABRAHAM story today because what is happening in the world now is so stressful, scary, discouraging.

I just want to let everyone know that we have God who is willing to help and listen to our prayers. All We need to do is believe him and Have faith.

Thanks for reading ❤️😘💞😍

God bless us All!
