GOD OF ABRAHAM

GOD OF ABRAHAM, is the short form/name of THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, and THE GOD OF JACOB. Besides, GOD OF THE ANCESTRAL is another name refers to God. However, as we move on, these three names of God would be used interchangeably.

If we open the bible, there are multiple places in the Bible where God is referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 3:15; Acts 7:32). It is the way how God introduced himself or how God was being introduce by individual people to other/different people.

1.    Gen 28: 10- 17: When the split occurred between Jacob and Esau, Jacob left Beer-Sheba and went toward Haran. Then he came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. So, he took one of the stones and put it under his head and lay down in that place. Then, as he slept calmly he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

Then the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac” and he further proceed to tell how he would give the land on which he lay.
Then immediately the subsequent reaction we found is – V 17: he (Jacob) was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

2.    Exo 3: 1-6: When Moses encounters God in the mount of Horeb.
So, there the angel of the LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush, so God called to him out of the bush, "Moses, Moses!" And he said, "Here I am."  Then the Lord said, "Come no closer! Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground." And He said further, "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."
Then again, immediate reaction we could see is – V 6b: Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

3.    The third incident happened during the time when Prophet Elijah and the prophets of Baal offered a burn offering in the mount of Carmel.
At the time of the offering of the oblation, the prophet Elijah came near and said, "O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that you are God in Israel, that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your bidding. Answer me, O LORD; answer me, so that this people may know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back." Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust, and even licked up the water that was in the trench.
When all the people presented there saw it, they fell on their faces and said, "The LORD indeed is God; the LORD indeed is God."

Therefore, in all these accounts, though the receivers who encounter with God and who have received a direct message from God have experienced a miraculous encounter or unusual phenomenon, the way how they gave immediate reactions have a significant importance in today’s Christian life.
However, before we come to the point of interest, one important area I would like to mention in relation to the name of God as God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is;
This name of God emphasizes two different things;

i)    The covenant that God made with Israel and

ii)    The Israelite’ special place as God’s Chosen People.

As found the records in the bible, God has repeated the Abrahamic Covenant to three different generations:
i)    Abraham,
ii)   Isaac, and
iii)  Jacob

Therefore, they were all given the promise of land, many descendants, and blessing.
As we know, the Lord first calls Abram out of Ur (of the Chaldees) to the land of Canaan, establishing a covenant with him (Genesis 12:1–3). Then God reaffirms the same covenant with Abraham’s son, Isaac (Genesis 21:12; 26:3–4), and later with Isaac’s son, Jacob (Genesis 28:14–15). Therefore, the Lord who established and ratified this covenant is rightly called the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Therefore, when God reveals or refers himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the name carries a couple of important implications.

-    First: when He identifies Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He clearly distinguishes Himself from the gods of Egypt in whose land the Israelite's dwelt.

-    Second: By revealing himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, individual people who encounter with God would realize the faithfulness, trustworthiness, the glory and fearfulness of God.

As we have already mention in the beginning, when the LORD appeared to Jacob and said, "I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac”
Then immediate reaction given by Jacob was – in V 17: Jacob was afraid. It does not mean here that - Jacob has something doubt in his mind, but Jacob definitely had no doubt. It is indicates that by receiving or seeing the revelation of God Jacob could realized his father's God 'who really is'. This further indicates that his father had maintain a healthy uprightness to teach his children that God is by nature a fearful God, who is to receive with fear, with honor and respect...

In the same way, when Moses encounters with God in the mount of Horeb as he went besides the burning bush; Then again, immediate reaction we could see, after the revelation of God is – V 6b: Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God.

The message behind of the reactions according to my understanding and what I would like to bring out as my point of interest is;
Though there is a belief, according to ‘J’ tradition that ‘those who saw “God or the angel of the Lord” face to face would die,’ this concept or belief is to be kept aside…But, whenever God introduce him-self as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; individual person who received God’s introductory remark have come to acknowledge that – God who reveals himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the real God who is worthy to be praised and worshiped, to be feared and to be received with reverential treatment.

This further indicates that – The three forefathers; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob have presented well their God to their offspring as the God who is worthy to be praised and worshiped, to be feared and to be received with reverential treatment. Therefore, whenever the new offspring of the forefather encounter with the same God who introduces himself as the God of their ancestors, without any doubt or without any reservation in their minds they could have accepted and submitted themselves to God. They could have done so because their forefathers have set an example for their offspring.

In 2 Cor. 3:2 Paul has written, “You are our epistle, written in our hearts, known and read of all men.”
Peter too, has mentioned in 2 Pet. 2:12, “Having your conversation honest among the gentile; that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers; they may by your good work, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.”

The way how we present our living God to other people around us through our action and deeds; can have a very profound impact on them. This is what I called it as my point of interest from this short sharing, something we need to take very seriously.

One of the sad stories we left behind to those people around us, as Mahatma Gandhi said is, he said, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” He admired the Sermon on the Mount (which shaped his whole philosophy of life) and hoped to see Christians live up to its standards. While living with Christians in England, South Africa and India, he expected to experience the qualities like unconditional love, forgiveness, willingness to sacrifice, meekness, etc. which are considered as the true qualities of Christ. But to his utmost dismay, Christians in his era never lived up to the standards preached by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount and on the Cross.

Therefore, a very strong statement what I would like to make, as a responsible minister is - Our contemporary world is in need of true witnesses and not just noisemakers or orators, a self-promoter or a self-righteous preacher whose theories and words of mouth do not reflect their actions.
We rather need a person whose words and actions are in line with the standard that please God and who fears God.

Bruce Rzengota, a pastor of cmaChurch of Morgantown once had done a survey on things that America needs. Many have replied with their answers; America needs Fatima, revival, fewer taxes, more job, universal health care, a clean environment, better school, leader not politicians, etc. and many more.

In addition to these suggestions, he wrote, ‘for some I have no doubt that it will be an encouragement, a reminder that how they have chosen to live their lives matters and is making a difference.’ And at the end, he gave his own answer by leaving the statement which says - WHAT AMERICA (AND BY EXTENSION THE WORLD) NEEDS MOST IS FOR THE CHURCH TO TRULY BE THE CHURCH.

In line with this statement, reinterpretation of the same statement we may draw out which is also very relevant to our present context is – what the present world needs most is a true Christian. A spirit filled and guided dynamic Christian, who fears God, and who would set an exemplary life for others.
A Christian should be a living sermon, a walking message. The authentic Christian life is a sermon in action. If we live this kind of life, even without saying a single word, people around us will hear our story loud and clear!

Then they will give respect to our living God and may further embrace our living God.
Let the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob be made known to others, to our roommates, to our colleagues, to our children, and to our fellow human being as the fearful God of us, the loving and merciful God of us who is full of glory in his holiness.

Let other people around us acknowledge our God through our actions and deeds and say, ‘your God is the living God, magnificent, powerful, full of grace and mercy, approachable,  fearful, forgiver, faithful, and so on.

Let us also remember that we are epistle/ a letter written to be read by others through which others could learn ‘who our God is’, so that people may come to the feet of God with fearful hearts and may further embrace God to know more about him and to let Him rule over them.

JISHUR PREME, BENGALI, ENGLISH & MIZO LYRIC - WILLIAM CAREY

As a mark of our sweet remembrance of him and to pay homage to our dear and great missionary, WILLIAM CAREY, founder of Serampore College, who is also known as father of modern missions; on his 258th birth anniversary, here, i therefore posted Bengali + English + Mizo version of the song 'JESUS' LOVE' composed by him (William Carey) in 1796 based on Eph 5:2.

As you wish, you may kindly go through and try Bangali, English and Mizo song.

I give credit to Rev Dr Dipankar Haldar, Professor of N.T, Serampore College for sharing me a portal link from where i could find all his precious works including his English translation of this song.

JESUS' LOVE (IN BENGALI)
Composed by William Carey

Jishur preme, Jishur preme, shukh o shanti paai;
Pashe thaken, drishti rakhen, jani shorbodaai.

Ch: ‘Bhalobashen, Jishu naath amaay,’
Mone mone, protikkhhone, gaaile praan juraay.

Jishur bawle, Jishur bawle, hridoy rokkhha paay;
Taare jawkhon daaki, tawkhon dukkhho dure jaay.

Jishur dawya, Jishur dawya, taar to shima naai;
Pore gele, dhoren tule, paaper khoma paai.

Jishur ichchha, Jishur ichchha, palon korte chai;
Priyo traata, jestho bhrata, bhalobashi taai.

Jishur sheba, Jishur sheba, bhalo laage bhai;
Shujog peye, shukhi hoye, karje kaal kaatai.

Jishur hridoy, Jishur hridoy, dharon korte chaai;
Prarthonate, shastropathe, rawto thaki tai.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
by Rev Dr. Dipankar Haldar

We get happiness and peace in Jesus’ love;
For, He abides by us and looks after us always.

Chorus: ‘He loves me, yes Jesus loves me’
To sing always in our hearts makes our souls content.

Our hearts are protected with the strength of Jesus;
When we call Him, our sorrows go away.

There is no limit in the kindness of Jesus;
When we fall, He lifts us up and forgives our sins.

We want to foster the will of Jesus;
We love Him, our dear Saviour and elder brother.

We love the Service of Jesus;
We want to utilize the opportunity in doing works for Him happily.

We want to embrace the heart of Jesus;
So we spend time in prayer and scripture reading.

Notes:
1. On the way of our procession (usual practice on his birth anniversary) towards Carey cemetery, Dr Haldar walk beside me, then i asked whether an English translation of this song is available. Dr Haldar was kind enough to provide me a portal link from where i could go though and find all of his precious works including this song translated by him (Dr Haldar). Thanks to my colleague Dr Haldar.

When the procession and the next programme held in Cemetery was over, i took my laptop and have started the work of translation. Then, within a short span of time (i.e. within 30 minutes), by God's grace, i could have done it.

2. Another songs translated by me are
- What kind of love is this
- It is well with my soul (Posted here in my blog. under the heading of A PAWI LO, A PAWI LO)

RELATIONSHIP

(Counting the Cost of Relationship & the price we have to pay for relationship)
Rom 4:13; Rom 5:11; Phil 2:5ff.

Four months back, i.e., April, 2019; my brother in-law got married. We were expected to witness this special occasion for it was going to be a momentous occasion for the entire family. But the problem that we did not want to share with others from our side was ‘we did not have sufficient money to manage ourselves’. Managing family trip is too expensive, especially for people who came from the southern part of Mizoram. Because we need to spend more money after reaching Aizawl, more than the amount we have already spent for flight ticket only to reach Aizawl, capital city of Mizoram.

But by having known all our problems, our relatives from different part of Mizoram, have sent financial help to us; then in short; all together, the total amount of financial help spent by our relatives, during our stay, became more than a lakh of rupees.

Our presence was highly felt needed by the bridegroom. But the expense only for our family, before and after marriage was so high; because, after the marriage was over, we moved from village to town, town to village from time to time to visit our relatives. So they have to provide every possible way in order that, we also could manage ourselves.

During this time, one question that has come to my mind was – what was the reason, why they did so? What was the motivating factor, to let them do all these things? The answer is – only because of a relationship that tied us together, which has been established between us.

This illustration is being shared with you only to help you recollect your own experiences that you have come across which are more noticeable and perhaps would become grater experiences then us.

According to Financeonline.com, the top 3 most expensive weddings in history are;
1.    Prince Charles & Dina -  $110 million
2.    Vanisha Mittal & Amit Bhatia – $66 million
3.    Prince William & Kate Middleton – $34 million
I have recollected these three stories only to remind us how much money is being spent to make a relationship bond between individual people.

In addition, besides what have been mentioned; we also can recollect Taj Mahal, one of the greatest and magnificent piece of architecture constructed by Sah Jehan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal, Taylor’s Diamond, given by her husband Richard Burton for her 40th birthday which is estimated to have cost around $1,050,000; The $85 million worth Yacht, given by Anil Ambani to his beloved wife Tina; the Gift of the 19th floor of Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, given by Rajkundra to his wife Shilpa Shetty, and The Statue of Liberty, 305 foot-tall, designed by F.A Bartholdi which is regarded as a universal symbol of freedom and democracy, it was a gift of friendship given to the US in 1884 from France.

You also might have known the dog name Hachiko and his master Japanese professor. At the end of every working day, Hachiko would greet his master at Shibuya station and the pair would walk home together. One day in 1925, the man suffered a brain haemorrhage and died. Hachiko (dog) didn't understand what had happened and waited for his master to return. For nine years, every day, without fail, the dog waited his master at that train station.

Lastly, Jack, who is only 23 years old suffered a heart-attack due to a viral infection and was told by doctors that a heart transplant was the only way possible to save his life. In the meantime, Bill’s daughter ‘Abbey’ died of traumatic brain injury at the age of 20. She was a registered donor from the age of 17. Following her death, Bill, her father cycled more than 1,400 miles to spread the awareness of organ donation. It was during one of his rides that he met 23-year-old Jack, the man who received an Abbey’s heart. So, as he hears the heartbeat of her daughter, Bill emotionally has set tears before people who were there around him.

There’s nothing new for us, because all these stories recollected are the well-known incidents happened to these people. However, all the stories mentioned, as I belief, will reflect how much cost is the relationship in one way or the other. And it will also help us recollect the greatest gift of God through Jesus Christ for the renewal and to heal our broken relationship between God and human.

In Rom 5:12, Paul says, “Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death came through sin, and so death spread to all, because all have sinned.”
Because of sin committed by one man, human conditions before God have often been portrayed in various ways;
-    He drove out the man from the garden of Eden (Gen 3:24)
-    They have become hostile to God
-    They have become unrighteous and worthless (Rom 3:10&12)
-    They have become fall short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23)
-    They have become enemies of God (Rom 5:10)
-    Death exercise dominion over all men (Rom 5:17) they are spiritually death, as a result, they no longer can do anything with the living God and are being cut off from the living God.

This is what we called it, in one phrase ‘a broken relationship', which has anything to do with God, which is becoming powerless, incapable, helpless, weak, ineffective, and feeble in his/her own nature. This is, indeed, our previous condition before God.

But God, who is rich in mercy, and out of his great love, has taken up all responsibilities, and then initiated the greatest gift to a sinner in order that this broken relationship could be healed.
So, he gave his very own son, as a sacrificial offering to forgive our sin and to wipe away all our transgressions.
How much is the cost?  How much cost did, God has given to heal our broken relationship?
(According to Phi 2:5-8):
-    Though he is the son of God, He emptied himself
-    He took the form of a slave
-    He transforms himself in human likeness
-    And became obedient to the point of death

We may take it as ‘granted, simple and worthless', but behind the cost, there are immeasurable hidden efforts given by God to heal our relationship which  is so painful, so deep, so affluent, etc. No one can imagine, it is beyond human imagination, beyond human comprehension.

Because of the price given by God, we became healed, we are accepted, we are no longer enemies of God, we have life, and we are given the citizens of the kingdom of God. In spite of all our weaknesses and all our limitations, God, who is above all, could accepted us by healing our broken relationship in order that a worthless would be counted as worthiness, a hostile would also embrace God without blemish.

This relation is the striking point that enables a person to serve God. We might have highly educational qualifications, we also may acquire countless of knowledge and wisdom, but depending on the relationship we built with God, we will be judged by others. People will make their own judgement on us base on the relationship we have with God.

Being a human, and as we come across so many circumstances in or daily lives, we sometimes faced difficult situations, complain, failure, discontent, backlash, backsliding, and many more. Therefore, one of the best ways out possible from these kinds of problems is to recheck our relationship between God and us.

This is also to be considered as the best warehouse that signal our network through which we may get immediate relief, help and every supply for our lives, let us take heed of it. If our relationship with God becomes strong and healthy; our God who is full of grace, who cares, and who always keeps his eyes towards his people will always be ready to provide all our needs.

Therefore, to suggest the best ways for re-examination for our relationship with God; of course, one can suggest a number of good points, but these are believed to be more significant than another for our spiritual well-being;
-    Check your loyalty to God.
-    Consecrate/dedicate yourself only for God
-    Always put God at the center.

A relationship that is built between husband and wife is one of the best illustrations from where we can get appropriate reflections.

Some of us may suggest ‘Sex between man and woman', as one of the best significant factors that build a strong relationship between husband and wife, between man and woman. But, it is not. Of course, sex has an enormous contribution to building up the relationship between individuals. But after old age, sex has nothing to do with a husband and wife.

Then, what makes the husband and wife to have a strong bound/relationship till they both die? And in a contrary direction; we also can ask this question, what makes the husband and wife separate from one another? Immediately, our minds may strike with these few answers; Extra marital relationship, Sex outside marriage, unhealthy affairs with others, etc. And above all, other components behind these three answers are – unfaithfulness, carelessness, betrayal, disloyalty.

These are the same factors that often break the relationship, and that create unhealthy relationship between God and human.

Therefore, friends; let us recheck our loyalty to God, let us dedicate ourselves only to God and his causes, and always put God at the central. These are the price to give that we all can do.
Our relationship with God is in fact, like a mechanism through which we can get strength, help, and all our supplies for our spiritual life.

Lastly, let us be reminded with these few sentences…
Relationship; Heals, waits, gives the right answer, achieves great things, sets tears for happiness, breaks all kinds of barriers, enables or motivates people to do something…

If we expect something good from God, let us recheck/re-examine our relationship with God.
