Content Title: Obey it
Text: Genesis 16:9
Introduction: Abraham's wife's name was Sarah, and she had a maidservant,
A man of Gub, and his name is Hagar. A slave is under the control of his master, to be obedient to him
It's a sensible lesson.
1. Why Jehovah’s Angel Appeared
Abraham's wife Sarah couldn't produce anything, so she couldn't wait for God's blessing.
Out of human impatience, she gave her maid Hagar to her husband as a concubine to her.
I persuaded my husband that he should have children, but he also agreed.
Raham slept with Hagar, and Hagar eventually conceived.
The servant Hagar, who was conceived, rather despised her mistress, and Sarah was also a human being.
With jealousy and jealousy, along with a vigilant heart, she urged her husband to
When he was harassed and mistreated Hagar, he stopped and fled, beside the springs in the wilderness, by the springs of the forest road.
While there, an angel of the Lord appeared and exhorted.
"Go back to your mistress and submit to her subordinates," he said.
2. The principle of a servant is to obey.
Obviously Sarah is the mistress. Hagar herself responds to the angel of the LORD
Among them, he said, "I am running away from my mistress Sarah."
Then the angel of the LORD also said, "Return to your mistress, and
to obey," he said.
Hagar is always a slave girl. The word female servant is used several times in this chapter alone.
(1,2,3,5,6,8) The angel of the LORD also met him for the first time and called him, "Sarah's maidservant."
Since he said Hagar, it is very clear that he is only a slave girl.
Also, the fact that she abused her mistress so much was her husband's love, saying that she was pregnant.
It is his fault for being knowledgeable and hastily despising the mistress.
Sara, the mistress, voluntarily recommended a maidservant as a concubine to her husband with good intentions.
But Hagar was ungrateful; the fault lies with Hagar, and the lion is your mistress.
He urged him to return and submit to his subordinates.
No matter how reckless Hagar was, she could not resist the commanding counsel of God's messenger.
I couldn't help but obey.
Conclusion: Hagar obeyed the angel's command and went back to her mistress to live in obedience.
it was Obedience or obedience seems humiliating, but the reality is that you take responsibility for yourself.
It is a good thing to do, and as a result, self-interest follows. we obey the word
You can enjoy true freedom in the arms of the Lord.
