“Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for I called him alone, and blessed him and increased him.” (Isaiah 51:2)

Why does God ask us to look to Abraham? What does He want to show us? If there was nothing important to be seen, why should we look to him?

What God wants to show us is where Abraham’s obedience took him: He gave something to God that no one would ever give because of its value and importance. Something that was irreplaceable.

God is showing us a man at the limit of his faith, and God pushed to the point of swearing an oath, offering Himself as a guarantee (Genesis 22:16).

In other words, if I look at what he did and do the same, God will do to me what he did in the life of Abraham. The greatness of Abraham’s faith is his obedience.

There are people who believe and people who don’t believe. To whom do you look? Those who believe look to Abraham!

Do you believe that God can change the terrible situation you are facing in your family, love life, health or finances? So take your Isaac – whatever that may be – and place it before God. And on the altar, you can say, “God, You now owe me because I have also reached the limit of my faith!” And, because God cannot be indebted to anyone… WE WILL SET THE WORLD ON FIRE!

God bless you abundantly!
