The God Who Connects

 Genesis 24:1-62

The story from our text passage is a wonderful story of how God brought about a marital union through God's divine orchestration.

This story is evidence that God is truly a God who rules in the affairs of men.

Daniel 4:7

While our text passage is about a miracle marriage coming to life, it shows deeper things about God's ability and how God works.

We see that God connects, God orchestrates, and God directs.

Psalm 37:23

The God who connected Isaac and Rebecca despite being in distant geographical locations, strangers to one another, with no previous intention of meeting and getting married is the same God who can connect people together for business, ministry, academics, and career purposes.

For the sake of God's kingdom purposes and assignments God connects people together.

God knows those you should do life with, God knows those who matter to your life and destiny, God knows those you should influence, those who should mentor you, and He knows how to connect you to them and them to you.

It was God's arrangement that Daniel, Shedrach, Meshach, and Abednego would be friends and influence one another positively.

Daniel 2:17-23

It was God's connection that brought Jesus and His twelve disciples together for kingdom purposes.

Luke 6:12,13

If you need a spouse you need  God's divine connection.

If your business needs customers you need God's divine connection.

If your church needs members and partners for your pastoral assignment you need God's divine connection.

If you need a business partner to start that business with you need God's divine connection.

If you need a benefactor or patron you need God's divine connection.

God is the One who connects.

Ezekiel 37:7

God is the One who brings people and things together for a purpose.

When God's leading, guidance, and direction are at work they produce divine orchestrations.

Prayer is a key part of making divine connections happen.

Abraham prayed that an angel would go ahead of Eliezer his senior servant before Eliezer embarked on the difficult journey of finding his master's family and picking a wife from there for Isaac.

Eliezer also prayed when he got to the land his master Abraham came from that God will bless his assignment and mission.

God was faithful to do so.

Genesis 24:12-15

Prayer made the assignment easier and possible.

Prayer puts angels to work behind the scene for divine connections to happen.

Genesis 24:7

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
