BIBLE TEXT: Genesis 24: 1-20 (KJV)

1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:

3 And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.

5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?

6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.

7 The Lord God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.

9 And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and sware to him concerning that matter.

10 And the servant took ten camels of the camels of his master, and departed; for all the goods of his master were in his hand: and he arose, and went to Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

11 And he made his camels to kneel down without the city by a well of water at the time of the evening, even the time that women go out to draw water.

12 And he said O Lord God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.

13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:

14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.

15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

17 And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee, drink a little water of thy pitcher.

18 And she said, Drink, my lord: and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and gave him drink.

19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

20 And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

LESSON INTRODUCTION: Created in the image of God, humans are spirit beings. We have a body with which to relate with the terrestrial world, but our lives are controlled by constant interplay between the spiritual and the physical. John 4:24 says God is Spirit, hence His relations with us would be with our spirits. Oftentimes, we miss important information because our spirit is out of tune or we are simply insensitive to the prompting of the Spirit that comes to us as spiritual signals. May God open our understanding and spiritual senses in Jesus name.

TEXT REVIEW: Genesis 24: 1-20.
I. God works through signals.
II. We should be sensitive to spirit of God’s signal

LESSON OUTLINE

EXAMPLES OF THOSE WHO DECODED SPIRITUAL SIGNALS

On the way to Italy, as recorded in Acts 21, Apostle Paul picked a signal from the heavenlies of the hazardous trip they were about to embark on. He warned the people but they did not listen. Acts 27:10-11

I. The Wise Men from the East (Mt 2:2,9-10) saw a special Star, decoded the signal and they were able to read God’s mind concerning the birthplace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
II. Abraham’s oldest servant and Rebecca in Gen 24:12-22. The servant coded spiritually and Rebecca, through the leading of the Spirit of God, decoded perfectly and at the end the servant was able to discern Rebecca as the divine wife for Isaac.
III. Jacob, on the way to Haran, saw a revelation in Bethel and was able to decode that. “……Surely The Lord, is in this place…” Gen 28:16
IV. Elizabeth in Luke 1:40-45, experienced a leap for joy of her baby at the salutation of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
V. In Job 4:12-15, the sage perceived the presence of a spirit being
VI. It was the perception of the Shunnamite woman of Elisha as a holy man of God that guaranteed her safety from famine and saved her from barrenness. 2Kgs 4: 8-10.

OUR CHALLENGE?

There is an electronic device known as “Digital Satellite Receiver” It means there must be a tool to decode satellite signal. Even if your house shares boundary with a broadcasting station, without such decoder/receiver, you cannot benefit from their broadcast. This equally applies to radio signals, if your radio set is faulty, you will not be able to listen to radio broadcast. Has sin made you lose contact with the heavenly signals? What type of spiritual decoder are you? Analogue or Digital receiver. Can you code as Abraham’s servant into the spiritual and God will back you up?

The Digital satellite Receiver is much higher and sharper in performance than the analogue. We need to sharpen our discernment and strive to be better receivers and decoders of spiritual signals.

ACTIVITY:
Mention any other example of those who decoded spiritual signals

SUMMARY:
God’s ways are through signs and wonders

CONCLUSION:
There are many signals in the atmosphere, spiritual and non-spiritual. We must wait on the Lord in Holiness, Purity, Prayer and Fasting to be able to decode His signals which abound in the spiritual realm. May God guide us in Jesus’ name
