Descendants Of Cain57

[Gen 4:16-26]

/ Anne's Faith Column 

 

 

/ By Priscilla

 

 

Even though Cain sinned,

God poured out his love on him

and blessed his descendants

to prosper.

 

 

However,

among his descendants,

there were also people like

Lamech, who had forgotten

God and had been corrupted.

 

 

 

Cain, who sinned,

lived a life of wandering,

but God, who loves all people,

showed love to him as well.

 

 

 

God not only protected Cain

from harm by putting a mark

on Cain's forehead,

 

 

 

but also blessed

his descendants

 

 

 

and gave each of them

a special talent so that they 

could use it in their lives.

 

 

 

Righteous God! 

God rich in love and grace!

 

 

 

Even today, the love

of our Heavenly Fathe

r equally comes upon

all those who are related

with me by blood.

 

 

 

For my dear Abba Father,

what should I do first?

 

 

 

I must become a child of God

and a soldier of God who

is always ready like 

Gideon’s warrior

and runs swiftly

 

 

 

when the signal from

Him comes to me.

 

 

 

I must not act like 'Lamech',

who spurned God's grace

and was corrupted

 ethically and morally.

 

 

 

Now, God’s will for allowing

‘Seth’ and the emergence

of descendants who worship

God from Adam’s genealogy

 

 

 

are the determination,

providence, and love of the

 Father toward mankind.

 

 

 

God vividly burned the

flame of hope that 'Seth'

who feared Him would

become 'the ancestors

of Jesus Christ'.

 

 

 

God enlightens humans

about God's providence,

 

 

 

'A bruised reed he will

not break, and a smoldering

wick he will not snuff out, till 

he leads justice to victory.'

(Matt 12:20)

 

 

 

Even me the weakest of us. 

 

 

 

From now on,

like the prodigal son

who returned to the Lord

with a more humble heart,

 

 

 

I must become a faithful child

who serves God with utmost

sincerity and joy.

 

 

 

I have to live with the joy,

living hope, and overwhelming

emotions that spring up

with vitality every day.

 

 

 

And above all else, we 

need to remind ourselves

of the impression of

our first love with the

Lord each day.

 

 

 

My faith will gradually

be matured, and I will not

lose heart until I reach 

 the stage of sanctification

in a glorious way,

 

 

 

putting on the clothes

of the righteousness

that the Lord has given me

 in the great grace of God.

 

 

 

Therefore,

we must accept the suffering

we face as a gain and never

hesitate to share in the

sufferings of Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

I want to

become a true child

who learns patience

in any environment,

 

 

 

and on the day the Lord

calls me, I earnestly hope

 to be a person who

 shouts 'Marananta!'

-(Come, O Lord!)

 

 

 

I have no doubts, believing 

that I, who is always weak

before the Lord, will be

 born again every day with

 the power of the Lord

 

 

 

and will become

an instrument of the Lord

used at every moment.

 

 

 

What should I do for that?

 

 

 

1) As a descendant of

 Abraham, the father of faith,

I must be honest and humble 

with the Lord as I am 

 

 

 

and become a person 

who always learns

 from Jesus and put it

into practice.

 

 

 

2) I will use the talents

the Lord has given me to

the fullest and use them

generously for the

kingdom of God.

 

 

 

3) My beliefs should be

built from the strengths

and weaknesses of their lives

through their ancestors.

 

 

 

Prayer

 

 

Lord!

 

 

I am impressed that

you see me generously

with the eyes of faith

and love me.

 

Amen
