2. 31st service at 10:30pm

3. 10th of January 2010 we are going to 3 services, 7am, 9am and

Introduction

• What a great year we have had in 2009. Wow the year has truly flown

past and it feels like only yesterday it was January and now we are 5 days

away from Christmas and less than two weeks away from 2010.

• In the absence of Pastor Bert and Charne I would just like to thank themfor this amazing year and the amazing revelation from the word. And then

also for Ps Bert for the opportunity to minister to you guys this morning.

• We started out this year with the revelation of the cross and the seven

areas where Jesus shed his blood. Were you touched, changed and

transformed by this amazing revelation this year. The revelation of the

blood of faithfulness. Blood of conquest, identity, healing, creativity,

purpose and restoration.

•  Then we took the blood into our homes to live in peaceful homes so that

the angel of death would pass over. In the homes where there the

presence is there also will be peace.

• And then lastly we took the blood into other homes to show them how to

live in the same peace.

• Lets us pray for Ps Bert and Charne and the children where they are and

also for all the other members who are so favoured to have been given

this opportunity to go and leave so long.

•

Pray!!

• Now for all the rest of we going to have a wonderful time in the word of 

the Lord this morning. Ps 27:4. Very literal ….”I will dwell in the house of 

the Lord”

• Now before I start also to my beautiful wife that is waiting for me in the

Kruger National Park. You guys must be very honoured that I’m here. It is

her birthday today…. and I am missing her very much. I’m leaving after

the service so if I preach a little short and run…..

•

We have a very honoured guest also with us today…. Nicole Flint.. thenewly appointed Miss SA 2009.

God of the Generations:

• From the beginning of the recorded time from Genesis to the New

 Testament we see that the genealogy of mankind is very accurately and

precisely recorded. God does not do things just for the sake of just doing

it. So we must then understand that it is serious to God.

• Recorded the virgin birth in Matthew to Joseph.

• All things in the natural have a spiritual parallel. Just take an example of 

sowing mielies into the ground. Why sowing and reaping? God is showing

us a spiritual principle. What about another one. The human body has

many parts but one head

• In Deuteronomy curses are passed from generation to generations but

also blessings

• Moses and burning bush – God called himself the God of Abraham, Isaac

and Jacob

Exd 3:6 Moreover He said, "I [am] the God of your father--the God of 

Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." And Moseshid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

• All promises always came through descendants

Promise to Abraham

Gen13:14

And the LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him: "Liftyour eyes now and look from the place where you are--northward,southward, eastward, and westward;

Gen13:15

for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants [fn] forever.

Gen13:16

And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if aman could number the dust of the earth, [then] your descendantsalso could be numbered.

•  To Isaac God said stay in your inheritance

Promise to Isaac

Gen  Then the LORD appeared to him and said: "Do not go down to Egypt;

26:2 live in the land of which I shall tell you.

Gen26:3

Dwell in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you andyour descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oathwhich I swore to Abraham your father.

Gen26:4

And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I willgive to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all thenations of the earth shall be blessed;

Gen26:5

because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, Mycommandments, My statutes, and My laws."

Moses calling from God to Israel

Exd6:6

 Therefore say to the children of Israel: 'I [am] the LORD; I will bring youout from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you fromtheir bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and withgreat judgments.

Exd6:7

I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall knowthat I [am] the LORD your God who brings you out from under theburdens of the Egyptians.

Exd6:8 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham,Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you [as] a heritage: I [am] theLORD.' "

Why is God always working through generations?

What is heritage? (Not spiritual)

1. (a.) That which passes from heir to heir; inheritance; birthright.

2. (n.) A possession; the Israelites, as God's chosen people; also, a flock underpastoral charge.

• Something that you received that you have not worked for.

How do you receive heritage?

• Being the son or daughter in a family name

• Not by what you have done.

• My dad…..example….heritage…..

• Without a generation there is not heritage

• What is grace other than to have an inheritance

• Walking in the heritage of Jesus who did it all on the cross.

• We are more than conquerors through Christ that strengthened me…..Boxer 

We have that heritage but do we always walk in that heritage?

• First of all Christ but also inheritance of spiritual mothers and fathers

• We sometimes miss it and it is right in front of us…. Smacking us in the face.

• Ps Bert and myself…4sample

221God is good and is building inheritance through you -

• For the glory of the inheritance to be greater, the overcoming and fighting have to

be greater 

• We ask God to take us out of certain circumstances and pray why I can’t just be

normal.

• God counts us worthy to go through certain trails and test because he is building

greatness

• Effectively : effective, with effect; powerfully; completely; thoroughly, successful.

• Accurately: accurate, precise, exact to truth, or to some standard of requirement,

the result of care or pains; free from failure, error, or defect; exact

• Efficient: efficient, resourceful, proficient, capable, skilful,

Trust God…Isaiah 54….after Isaiah 53

Conclusion and prayer….

 You can lose your heritage?

•  Adam and Eve

• Jacob and Esau

• Israel

• Prodigal son (loose and find it again)
