Genesis 26:13-16
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
Matthew 5:6 6 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Apostle Lewis Fisher, Jr spoke from the message “I Know Him Part lV.  The life of Abraham and the life of Isaac are very similar.  There was famine in the land and they both went to foreign countries.  Isaac wanted to go to Egypt because Abraham lived there but God denied him permission to do so.  Isaac revived the same wells of his father Abraham, and they were called by the same names.  Digging the wells means claiming the ownership of the land.  He had to face many problems,  Yet, he was victorious because God was with him. Even through the famine, Isaac kept prospering because of the blessings of God.  God blessed Isaac when he sowed the seeds.  He grew richer as well as became  great.  He had flocks, herds, many men and maidservants.  His wealth and greatness were a result of his honesty and the promise of the blessings.

He also became the object of hostility and faced the wrath of the local leader.  The Philistines destroyed the wells which Isaac inherited from his father Abraham. He was robbed, threatened and sent out by Abimelech, king of the Philistines, because he became a stronger man, and they envied him.  Isaac understood and experienced God as protector and provider.  He put all his trust in God.  If God says you are blessed, you are blessed.  No matter what trials and tribulations are coming your way, he still blesses you through it all.  God will connect to you and prosper you as he promised Abraham.  God is doing a work in those whose heart is perfect towards him and he will draw close to you.  Let your light  shine so that men will see your good works and glorify God.

Apostle Fisher emphasized, that according to Galatians 3:9,29, the blessing God is speaking about is not something to be earned, it is rather inherited.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
We were reminded that the blessing is active, and has been from the moment we accepted Jesus Christ, but it will not manifest until we act on that proclamation by God’s word. Let us act on the word today.

Remember, change does not happen when you finish, it happens when you start.

In Christ,
LF

Apostle Lewis Fisher Jr is asking you the congregation two questions, “Is there anything to hard for God, and Does God know you today?”  So many people know of God, but do not know him.

Scriptures: Genesis 18: 16-19
16 And the men rose up from thence and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.
17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.
 
Apostle Lewis Fisher Jr used the title “I know Him”.  He asked the congregation two questions, “Is there anything to hard for God, and Does God know you today?”  So many people know of God, but do not know him.
  Knowing God requires us to draw close to him, and be committed to live our life to please him. Why is this so important? Through this commitment the Lord deals with us as friends.

Abraham was known as the friend of God.  In Psalms 25:14, states, “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him, and He will shew them his covenant.
  We see this principal in our everyday life.  We share the most intimate pieces of our life only with people we call our friends. Why? These are the ones that have earned our trust. In the same way, God reveals his secrets, those things He is doing and going to do to those who have earned His trust.
If you want to know God’s purpose, live obediently, in the fear of God, so that you’re worthy of his trust.

Apostle Lewis Fisher, Jr. shared with the congregation "Freely You Received, Freely Give".

Dr. Fisher shared a message emphasizing the mandate that is upon all believers:" Freely You Have RECEIVED, Freely GIVE"
In Matthew 10, Jesus sent his disciples to preach the gospel.  He gave them authority to drive out demons and heal every disease and sickness.  He said, "As you go, preach this message: "The kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead and drive out demons.  "Freely you have received, freely give"

 
Whatever God has given us will be used for his glory when we freely give it back to him for other's benefit. God is perfect peace, love, joy, kindness and patience these things are ours as we yield to him.  God gives us these blessings freely and we must freely give them away.

In Christ, Lewis Fisher, Jr
