Then God said to him in the dream

 Genesis 20:1-18

Now Abraham moved on from there into the region of the Negev and lived between Kadesh and Shur. For a while he stayed in Gerar, and there Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” Then Abimelek king of Gerar sent for Sarah and took her.

Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me. That is why I did not let you touch her. Now return the man’s wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, you may be sure that you and all who belong to you will die.”

Then Abimelek brought sheep and cattle and male and female slaves and gave them to Abraham, and he returned Sarah his wife to him. And Abimelek said, “My land is before you; live wherever you like.”

Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelek, his wife and his female slaves so they could have children again, for the Lord had kept all the women in Abimelek’s household from conceiving because of Abraham’s wife Sarah.

Why?

Because the Lord cared about Abraham, Abraham even said that he was Sarah's brother of Sarah; it is the Lord who intervened in this event so Sarah and Abraham could be saved and received many gifts from King Abimelek.

Without the Lord's blessing, nothing could exist in our lives.

Honoring the Lord and listening to the words of the Lord are blessings in my life.

How?

I have a worship ministry tomorrow in the church, may my mouth, heart, and soul be under the leading of the Holy Spirit.
