Noah

Do you know the story of Noah? God spoke to Noah and said “the earth is filled with a violent people and I will destroy it… but I have seen that you are righteous before me”. So God made a covenant with Noah and instructed Noah to build an ark and place his wife, sons, son’s wife’s and of every creature (male and female to keep the species alive) into the ark. The great flood came and the waters lifted above the earth and covered the mountains. All things on the earth died. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark remained alive. (Key: those who were with Noah were saved = who you connect with IS important). When the earth had dried God spoke to Noah, saying, “Go out of the ark.” Noah did an amazing thing here, he built an altar to the Lord. An altar of thanksgiving. The bible says “And the LORD smelled the burnt offering, it was a soothing aroma to Him. Then the LORD said in His heart, “I will never again curse the ground for man’s sake, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again destroy every living thing as I have done.” So ONE MAN (Noah) behaving righteous and building an alter to God that brought a pleasing aroma to God, caused God to make an oath, a promise to all future generations (that’s you, me, your children, their children etc.). And this is the promise… “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.” The key here is seedtime and harvest. God promises if you sow you shall reap. What are you sowing into the work of God? What ever you sow, you WILL reap and you know that when you sow, you don't just reap what you've sowed your reap MORE! Also, another key is ONE MAN being obedient caused a blessing for all generations. You, as one man, can cause God to bless your household by your obedience and righteous living. Do not be fooled thinking its okay to live below what you should. Do not be lulled saying everyone else lives this way. You know in your righteous heart what is the right way to live. God is watching and the bible says He searches for someone to bless. Be blessed.
