Welcome to the living word of God in Genesis 31
Jacob now realized that he was no longer in the safe place you know why because Laban’s sons said Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s and from what was our father he has acquired all this wealth and Jacob saw the countenance of Laban and his sons and indeed it was not favorable to word him as before then the lord said to Jacob return to the land of your fathers and to your family and I will be with you o brothers and sisters sometimes in life when you have worked faithfully and God have blessed you sometimes it can turn around and the world can hate you the world will be jealous of you and out of their jealousy not realizing the blessings they have received because of you they will turn against you
Laban requested knowing that Jacob was in favor with God and he was receiving blessings because of Jacob but when Jacob too was blessed Laban and his sons were against him I tell you brothers and sisters you may be working in a foreign land in somebody else’s place far away from your native place and because of your faithfulness you are blessed and others are going to be jealous of you they are not going to be kind to you and some of you might have experienced that I tell you in times such as that turn to God be faithful to God do not be afraid God is with you and just as Jacob was told by God time for you to go home God will call you home someday God will tell you it is time to go home my son
and God told Jacob return to the land of your fathers and to your family and I will be with you God was with Jacob God is with Jacob and God promised him I will be with you and that’s the promise to you today be faithful God had been with you God is with you and God said I will be with you may that be our blessing that God be with you always. Amen
