BUT NOAH FOUND GRACE IN THE EYES OF THE LORD. BE THE NOAH IN YOUR GENERATION:

LWFM EXHORTATION FOR THE MONTH OF FULFILLMENT OF GODS PROMISES FOR THURSDAY 6/12/2014 IS: GENESIS 6:1-8. Friends, our exhortation for today is focused on “BUT NOAH FOUND GRACE IN THE EYES OF THE LORD”. I am so excited about the word today because it is clear that in the mists of wickedness, evils, and mans inhumanity to man, somebody who loves the Lord can still make a difference. Sometimes I wonder why some people take joy for evil without considering the consequences that comes with it. when I see evil grow from strength to strength and people who are supposed to do something to correct it but do nothing and watch Gods creatures to suffer pains, animosity and injustices from fellow humans, and I ask if they are created by God and have the same spirit like we do. Our study today will give you answers to those questions, and that is the reason why the promises of God is not fulfilled in the lives of some people, which leads them to murmur, complain, shift blames to others and point an accusing fingers to the innocent for their own mistakes and choices. Some of these evils are generational while some are deliberate for lack of knowledge. Fasten your seat belt and let me take you through to the root cause of such situations in Genesis Chapter six of which I will begin by naming two opposing groups: “the sons of God” and “the daughters of men.” It is no coincidence that Genesis chapter four to five also describes two groups, the descendants of Cain and Seth. In 4:1-24, we find that Cainites lacked positive spiritual attributes. They were earthly, selfish, sensual, and an authority unto themselves. Sethites, however, had qualities of consecration, devotion, communion, service, and righteousness toward God (4:25). Knowing this context, we can identify Sethites as “the sons of God.”5 They were His chosen people in the pre-flood era. The Cainites, however, had separated themselves from God. Sadly, this passage teaches that the descendants of Seth intermarried with the descendants of Cain. Through these spiritually mixed marriages, Sethites failed to remain pure and true to their mission. They jeopardized God’s plan of salvation (3:15), leaving Noah the only righteous one among them (6:9). God preserved the Messianic line by sending a great flood to save Noah and his family, and to judge unrepentant souls (1 Pet 3:20). Let me be clear: The world became so wicked that believing men began marrying unbelieving women. The Hebrew literally reads, “saw…good…took.” Their sin repeats the pattern (“saw…good…took”) of the original sin in 3:6. They are driven by lust, not spiritual discernment. The concern to marry well is an important theme that is repeated throughout Genesis. Your choice of partner has a lot to do with your fulfillment of God promises. Think about this. My prayer is that your eyes open as you read this text to make and amend where you have missed it and reconcile yourself to God. My wish is for you to find grace like Noah did to be fulfilled in the promises of God in Jesus name Amen. Read: Genesis 6:1-8 King James Version (KJV). 6 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. 8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.
