FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> He is with you if you will behold Him to see you through.<\/p>\n

Genesis 28<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Jacob\u2019s escape from his brother (Esau) from Beersheba toward Haran brought him to a certain place to sleep. In his sleep, he had a dream, \u201cAnd behold, the Lord stood above it and said: \u201cI am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. \u00a0<\/sup>Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.\u201d (Genesis 28:13-14)<\/em><\/strong> In the dream was the promise of God for Jacob that called for his attention. Behold means to observe; to look at. God was calling Jacob\u2019s attention to observe; to look at; to see the dream. Are you sincerely beholding Him?
\nTruly, the dream was loaded with great promise for Jacob as he encountered his journey of life. Just as dream sounds promising so the word that sounds in our ears are promising. However, the challenge of man with dream or word of God is: Are we observing; looking or seeing in the dream or word of God that sounds in our direction? God purposely called Jacob\u2019s attention before delivering His promise to Jacob stating, \u201cBehold\u201d.
\nWith the promising dream for Jacob, God also assured Jacob with promise of manifestation of the dream by calling is attention as stated, \u201cBehold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you.\u201d (Genesis 28:15) <\/em><\/strong>God used the word \u201cBehold\u201d to call Jacob\u2019s attention for the promise; He also used the word \u201cBehold\u201d for His assurance to the manifestation of the promise for Jacob.
\nIn the word or dream of God, He has promised you and assured you through the pages of the bible but you are not beholding Him. Are you looking or seeing in what He has spoken? A failure to behold (look or see) in the word of God is self-denial from possessing God\u2019s assured promise. Pay attention to His promise; He shall see you through for manifestation. God\u2019s promises always go through process before manifestation. In all process challenge is not exempted. However, beholding God for His promise is looking up to God which is the evidence of faith in God. In all the word or dream of God for your life, have faith; meditate His promise for manifestation. Jacob repeatedly engaged discouraging forces against God\u2019s promise for his life but he beheld God through his journey. Do not become self-denial of God\u2019s promise for your life. Deny discouragement in your life but be steadfast beholding God.<\/p>\n
