Genesis 13: 7 And there was a strife between the herd-men of Abram's cattle and the herd-men of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land. 8 And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herd-men and thy herd-men; for we be brethren.
The Lord teaches us that if we find ourselves in any dispute over property, and it reaches a boiling point where persons are going to fight, the Christian is to take the high road, and not bring the cause of God into disrepute, by taking fellow Christians to court, on account of any family feud. That’s because as Sovereign owner, God can tell us what to do, in such circumstances.
Genesis 13:9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. 14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward. 15 For all the land which you see, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed forever.
[4] When persons come to believe that their bodies are their own, they will generally resist any effort by The Lord, to instruct them on the issues of outward appearance, for in their minds, their bodies belong to them, and no one could dare to tell them how to dress. Hence the reason why you have sayings such as “it’s my life” it’s my body” and “I did it my way.” The vein of thought stems from a basic misunderstanding of the doctrine of ownership. On the issue of abortion, you will often hear the same line of reasoning, that “it’s my body.”
1st Corinthians 6: 19 What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? 20 For you are bought with a price: therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
