TESTING TESTING ONE ...TWO....

Genesis 22
Abraham Tested
1 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"
"Here I am," he replied.
2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."


Abraham had been given the promise of a son and descendants as many as the stars in the sky. He had faithfully held on to this God given promise for a long time. Now that he had a son, God was asking him to sacrifice this son, the only son he had.
Every promise has a test. When God gives you a promise, you can rest assured that He will test you. The good thing is that when God tests you, He never asks for anything that He has not given you.
He did not ask Abraham to sacrifice two sons or a daughter. He asked for a son because He had given Abraham a son.
God will always ask you for that which He has already laid in your possession
Why do we fail tests and why are we afraid or tests?
Why do we forget that which we have been taught?
We forget because:
We get distracted
We become afraid
We become successful
We get discouraged
Lack of being tested

Atest is designed to help you remember. You will rarely be tested on that which you have not been taught
Every great man and woman of God you know of has been tested. We get our testimonies through the tests we go through

For you to move up in your personal life you have to be tested on what you have been taught. So don’t fear and don’t be distracted. A test simply helps you locate your bearing in relation to what you have been taught

Just because you fail one test does not make you a failure. You can always retake the test.
Note:
Abraham became inpatient and had Ishmael
David slept with another mans wife and had the man killed
Samson became entangled with Delilah and ended up bald and blind
Peter denied Jesus 3 times
Saul who was later Paul was a murderer killing Christians

But all these men retook the test and passed with heavenly colors.
Now if they could, so can you
Take courage and don’t fear the Lord is with you
AMEN


REMEMBER
"DONT KEEP THE FAITH, SPREAD IT AROUND"
