The call of Abraham, and how he demonstrated his faith and obedience to God.
Abraham was the son of Terah. He lived in the town of Haran with his wife Sarai
and nephew Lot.
One day, God told Abraham to leave his town (Haran) and his relatives and to go

Moreover, his actual name then was Abram. He did not know where God wanted

arrived Canaan, God told him to live there. God promised Abram that the land of
Canaan would belong to him and his descendants.

God promised Abraham a son
Bible passages (Gen: 17:1-8, 15-21, Gen: 22:1-9)
What God promised Abraham.
There is a great reward for a man who trusts and obeys God. Because Abraham
obeyed God, God changed his name and called him the father of many nations.
God promised to make Abram great. His descendants would be countless as the
sand of the seashore and stars of heaven. God also promised to give him a son.
How God blessed Abraham for being obedient
It is good to obey God. We must also obey our parents, teachers, pastors or priests,
and those who are older than us. God made Abraham great because Abraham
obeyed him. Abraham did not have a child for many decades but God gave him
Isaac. He also had many descendants. He became the father of many nations. God
blessed Abraham with long life. God said he would give Canaan to Abraham and
his descendants. God kept his promise. Abraham and his descendants settled in
Canaan. God blessed Abraham with a lot of sheep, cows and goats (cattle), silver
and gold. Abraham loved God, so he erected an altar and worshipped the Lord.
When Abraham was 99 years old, while Sarai was 90, God made a promise of a
son to them. It was at this point that God decided to change their names. Abram
was changed to Abraham, meaning father of many nations. Sarai was changed to
Sarah which means princess.
Abraham was given the child Isaac when he was one hundred years old. One day,
God wanted to testament how much Abraham loved him and could obey him. He
told Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice on mount Moriah. Abraham obeyed and
took Isaac to the mountain. He was about to slaughter Isaac as a sacrifice when he
heard a voice from heaven. God’s angel told him not to touch Isaac. God gave
Abraham a ram to sacrifice instead of Isaac. God can test our faith and obedience
to him in anyway. We must always be ready.

The family of Jacob
The birth of Jacob
Isaac, Abraham’s son was 40 years old when he married Rebecca. After being
married for twenty years, Isaac and Rebecca still had no child because Rebecca
was barren. So Isaac prayed to God for her and God answered his prayer. Rebecca
became pregnant with twins. While she was still pregnant, God told her about the
future of the children she was carrying. He told her that the children would fight
each other and one of them would be stronger than the other. God also told her that
the older child would serve the younger one.
When Rebecca gave birth, the first baby to come out was very hairy. He was
named Esau. The second baby came out holding on tight to his brother Esau’s heel.
He was named Jacob. Jacob cheats his brother and deceive his father when the
boys grew up, Esau was outgoing and loved outdoors He became a hunter. Jacob
was quiet and liked indoor life. Isaac loved Esau because he was a skilful hunter
and always brought good meat home from his hunting trips, while Rebecca loved
Jacob. When Isaac became old, he decided to bless his older son Esau because he
was not sure of when he would die. He called Esau and instructed him to hunt
down some game and prepare a delicious meal with the meat for him to eat so he
could bless him. Esau immediately went out to hunt, but Rebecca called Jacob to
herself because she had overheard Isaac’s instruction to Esau. She told Jacob to go
to their farm and bring two young goats so she could use them to prepare a
delicious meal that Isaac would eat. When she had cooked the meal, she told Jacob
to wear Esau’s clothes and then she tied the hairy goat skin around Jacob’s hands
and neck so that Jacob’s skin would feel as hairy as Esau’s. Then she sent Jacob to
take the food she had prepared to Isaac and to wait for the blessing. Because Isaac
was old, his eyes had become weak so he was blind. He could not see that it was
Jacob and not Esau who brought the food, although the voice sounded like Jacob’s.
Isaac wanted to be sure, so he told Jacob to come closer so he could touch him.
Jacob went closer, stretched out his hands and his father Isaac felt the hairy
goatskin. It felt as hairy as Esau’s hands. So Isaac accepted the food and ate it all.
Then, to make sure it was Esau and nobody else, Isaac told Jacob to come over and
embrace him. When Jacob embraced him, Isaac smelt Esau’s scent from the
clothes Jacob was wearing and felt convinced that it was Esau after all. Then Isaac
blessed Jacob with the blessing that was meant for the firstborn son – Esau.
When Esau returned and found out that he had been cheated, he was very angry
with Jacob and began to hate him. He also decided to kill Jacob after their father’s
death. Rebecca heard of Esau’s plan and arranged for Jacob to travel away from
their home in Beersheba to stay with her brother in Haran until Esau was no longer
angry.
Jacob’s dream at Bethel
As Jacob travelled, he arrived at a good spot in the evening and decided to stop and
camp there for the night. While he slept, he dreamt of a ladder that reached from
earth to heaven, and he saw God’s angels climbing up and down the ladder. At the
top of the ladder, he saw God standing there and God said to him, ‘I am the Lord,
the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; I will give the land you are
lying down on to you and your descendants; your descendants will be as numerous
as the dust of the earth and they will cover the land from the east to the west, and
from the north to the south. All the families of the earth shall be blessed through
you and your descendants. I will be with you and protect you wherever you go.
And one day, I will bring you back safely to this land. I will be with you until I
give you everything I have promised you.’
When Jacob woke up, he took the stone, which he had used as a pillow, poured oil
on it and called the place Bethel, which means ‘the house of God.’
Jacob’s sons
When Jacob got to his uncle Laban in Haran, he worked for him for many years
and married his two daughters, Leah and Rachael. Jacob from the beginning,
wanted to marry Rachael; but because his uncle, Laban deceived him, he was
forced to marry Leah first. Leah was Rachael’s older sister.
Jacob had twelve sons and one daughter. The names of his twelve sons were:
1 Reuben 2 Simeon 3 Levi 4 Judah 5 Dan 6 Naphtali 7 Gad 8 Asher 9 Issachar 10
Zebulun 11 Joseph 12 Benjamin
