The God of Generations ANNOUNCEMENTS: 1. 25TH SERVICE AT 8AM 2. 31st service at 10:30pm 3.

10th of January 2010 we are going to 3 services, 7am, 9am and 11am Introduction What a great year we have had in 2009. Wow the year has truly flown past and it feels like only yesterday it was January and now we are 5 days away from Christmas and less than two weeks away from 2010. In the absence of Pastor Bert and Charne I would just like to thank them for this amazing year and the amazing revelation from the word. And then also for Ps Bert for the opportunity to minister to you guys this morning. We started out this year with the revelation of the cross and the seven areas where Jesus shed his blood. Were you touched, changed and transformed by this amazing revelation this year. The revelation of the blood of faithfulness. Blood of conquest, identity, healing, creativity, purpose and restoration. Then we took the blood into our homes to live in peaceful homes so that the angel of death would pass over. In the homes where there the presence is there also will be peace. And then lastly we took the blood into other homes to show them how to live in the same peace. Lets us pray for Ps Bert and Charne and the children where they are and also for all the other members who are so favoured to have been given this opportunity to go and leave so long. Pray!! Now for all the rest of we going to have a wonderful time in the word of the Lord this morning. Ps 27:4. Very literal .I will dwell in the house of the Lord Now before I start also to my beautiful wife that is waiting for me in the Kruger National Park. You guys must be very honoured that Im here. It is her birthday today. and I am missing her very much. Im leaving after the service so if I preach a little short and run.. We have a very honoured guest also with us today. Nicole Flint.. the newly appointed Miss SA 2009.

God of the Generations: From the beginning of the recorded time from Genesis to the New Testament we see that the genealogy of mankind is very accurately and precisely recorded. God does not do things just for the sake of just doing it. So we must then understand that it is serious to God. Recorded the virgin birth in Matthew to Joseph. All things in the natural have a spiritual parallel. Just take an example of sowing mielies into the ground. Why sowing and reaping? God is showing us a spiritual principle. What about another one. The human body has many parts but one head In Deuteronomy curses are passed from generation to generations but also blessings Moses and burning bush God called himself the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Moreover He said, "I [am] the God of your father--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

Exd 3:6

All promises always came through descendants

Promise to Abraham Gen 13:14 And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are--northward, southward, eastward, and westward; for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants [fn] forever. And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could number the dust of the earth, [then] your descendants also could be numbered. To Isaac God said stay in your inheritance

Gen 13:15 Gen 13:16

Promise to Isaac Gen Then the LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt;

26:2 Gen 26:3

live in the land of which I shall tell you. Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws."

Gen 26:4

Gen 26:5

Moses calling from God to Israel Exd 6:6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: 'I [am] the LORD; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I [am] the LORD your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you [as] a heritage: I [am] the LORD.' "

Exd 6:7

Exd 6:8

Why is God always working through generations? What is heritage? (Not spiritual)
1. (a.) That which passes from heir to heir; inheritance; birthright. 2. (n.) A possession; the Israelites, as God's chosen people; also, a flock under pastoral charge. Something that you received that you have not worked for.

How do you receive heritage? Being the son or daughter in a family name Not by what you have done. My dad..example.heritage..

Why is God always working through generations?

Without a generation there is not heritage What is grace other than to have an inheritance Walking in the heritage of Jesus who did it all on the cross. We are more than conquerors through Christ that strengthened me..Boxer

We have that heritage but do we always walk in that heritage? First of all Christ but also inheritance of spiritual mothers and fathers We sometimes miss it and it is right in front of us. Smacking us in the face. Ps Bert and myself4sample

221God is good and is building inheritance through you For the glory of the inheritance to be greater, the overcoming and fighting have to be greater We ask God to take us out of certain circumstances and pray why I cant just be normal. God counts us worthy to go through certain trails and test because he is building greatness
