Hello everyone we\u2019re on Day 12 talking about Jacob\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

We are well aware that we need to sacrifice, but we must also pay attention to our behavior:
\n
\nWhen we use our faith to really sacrifice to God we don\u2019t show distress, but, rather, strength and definition.<\/p>\n

If when we sacrifice to God we complain, show fatigue, and that we\u2019re facing difficulties, then it\u2019s a sign of weakness. In reality, we show that we are using an emotional faith. Faith without emotion is rational and defined, it doesn\u2019t get desperate with small problems, and it won\u2019t overcome us!<\/p>\n

\u201cMay God Almighty bless you,\u2028And make you fruitful and multiply you,\u2028That you may be an assembly of peoples; And give you the blessing of Abraham,\u2028To you and your descendants with you,\u2028That you may inherit the land\u2028In which you are a stranger,\u2028Which God gave to Abraham.\u201d (Gn.28: 3.4)<\/p>\n

Day 12 – The blessing of “Abraham”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaac spoke with definition as to what God would do in Jacob\u2019s life, and it\u2019s the same way in our life!<\/p>\n

God doesn\u2019t want to give us something insignificant. He doesn\u2019t just want us to be an example to our family, but He wants us to revolutionize this world through our lives. So that through our testimony a lot of people can be “touched” and obtain a transformation in their lives, because the blessing of Abraham exists in us.<\/p>\n

And our descendants too, those who live with us or are taught by us, can also possess this blessing!<\/p>\n

“… That you may inherit the land\u2028In which you are a stranger,\u2028Which God gave to Abraham.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This blessing will let us have dominion over the “land” which are the difficulties and adversities that we face. Let\u2019s take hold of this blessing and prevail over any and all feelings of frustration.<\/p>\n

You might say: “It\u2019s easy to say, but how about when we face difficult situations, we do something that doesn\u2019t work out and we get frustrated?”
\nAnd I say: If I am sacrificing then I don\u2019t get frustrated, I don\u2019t complain, but instead I act with perseverance. Even if I make a mistake I go on and learn from it! This is the type of defined faith that makes the difference.<\/p>\n

Wherever I go, I have to take hold of this blessing!
\n“Oh, so if I’m faced with a challenge, I have to overcome it? If I\u2019m in a church I have to stand out? I have to stand out in the middle of family and friends who don\u2019t profess the same faith I have? “Yes! You must dominate any feelings of confliction and convey credibility through your behavior in your day-to-day life.<\/p>\n

I must do my part and to receive the blessing of “Abraham.” We don\u2019t need others to grow, because this blessing comes from within and with this blessing we are able to multiply our “descendants”.<\/p>\n

If we take hold of this blessing we will transmit it to others naturally.<\/p>\n

Until tomorrow continuing with Jacob\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
