Personal Growth of the Minister
"Personal & Practical"

Hagar, A Battered Victim

Have you ever felt misused, abused, and confused in your church situation? Unresponsive leadership . . . unconcerned membership . . . "dying on the vine!" The trials of Hagar in Genesis 16 and 21 could hold a message of encouragement and hope for us all . . . because I, too, have felt that way more than once.

I. Lessons in Genesis 16:1-16
The circumstances weren't Hagar's fault! She was born an Egyptian, became a slave of Sarah, was given to Abraham, became pregnant, was despised by Sarah, caused family turmoil, and was punished (probably beaten) by Sarah. All these events were beyond her control.

Her solution was to run away. Often, this is our first reaction to problems which come into our lives. Most of the time, however, running doesn't solve the problems.

God sought and found her. The Angel asked two questions, gave two orders, and issued one promise:
"Where have you come from?" . . .
"Where are you going?" . . .
"Return." . . .
"Submit." . . .
"I will multiply your children."

The result of Hagar's personal encounter with God were threefold. First, revelation: "You are the God who sees me," v. 13. Second, response: Hagar obeyed God's orders. Third, results: God fulfilled His promise and Ishmael ("God hears") is born. Note the progression - God sees Hagar; then Hagar sees God.

II. Lessons in Genesis 21:12-20

Here again Hagar is a victim . . . with very little or no choice in the matter. Her teenage son scoffs at Sarah's toddler, and Sarah's hatred again surfaces. The family is upset due to the husband's divided loyalities. Abraham, at Sarah's insistence, sends Hagar and her son, Ishmael, away into the desert where, without water, they face certain death.

Note Hagar's reaction. She did the best she could for her son . . . (shaded him). Brokenhearted, she withdrew a distance because she couldn't bear to watch him suffer and die of thirst. Both she and the boy cried out in despair.

God responded to their cries. He heard (as Ishmael's name suggests), and He sent an angel. The angel asks what is the problem, comforts ("fear not") and assures her that God has heard, instructs her to lift and hold her son, promises a future for her offspring, and provides for their need (water for thirst).

As we know from subsequent history, God fulfilled His promise to Hagar. Ishmael grew into adulthood, becoming the father of the present-day Arabs.

Personal Application

I. You, Too, May Be A Victim Of Circumstances.
You may have no (or very little) control over your heritage, economics, social status, even the health of your body. You may have been forced into an unhealthy relationship, an unwanted pregnancy, an abusive situation. You may have been caught in the midst of domestic turmoil not of your own doing, hated by members of your household, and mentally, emotionally, or physically abused. Or, maybe you've become embroiled in a church squabble. In fact, you may have chosen the drastic step of running away from a seemingly unbearable situation.

2. If So, Hear These Words.
God sees you and your problems. He knows all about you, and He cares. He wants you to consider these questions: "Where have your come from?" and "Where are your going?" He wants you to wait for His proper time to take action. Meanwhile, He instructs you to return and submit. For this obedience, He promises a bright future.

3. Sometimes God's Purpose Is Best Carried Out By Staying Awhile In A Tough Situation.
In His good time, your situation will develop . . . sometimes into blessings; sometimes into cursing. At the proper moment, He may release you from the obligation of being victimized . . . giving you the freedom to leave that situation or to avoid those harmful circumstances. Moving away, however, is no guarantee of a life free from problems or difficulties.

4. It May Be That Going Out On Your Own Results In A Temporary Shortage Of The
Basic Necessities Of Life.
It may be that such a move results in poverty, despair, and a passive resolve to wait for death to overtake you. If so, you must know these things as absolute truth:
1. God sees and hears,
2. God sends help because He is merciful and loving,
3. God gives a message of cheer, comfort, and encouragement,
4. God honors parents concerned about their children's welfare,
5. God fulfills His promises to meet needs and to give a future, and
6. God opens the eyes of hurting persons, allowing them to see His purpose and provision.

Can any good come out of victimization such as Hagar suffered? (Or that you may be suffering now?) Please note that it was Hagar not Sarah, who personally encountered God. It was Hagar who heard God speak to her. It was Hagar who received God's word of blessing. It was Hagar who enjoyed God's provision for her needs and the needs of her family.

As God worked in Hagar's life, He can and does work in ours as well. "We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose," Romans 8:28 (NKJV).

Take Heed To Your Ministry
(Colossians 4:1-6, 17)

I. Concentration: on "taking heed" . . . paying attention
"Take heed to the ministry which you have received in the Lord, that you may fulfill it," Colossians 4:17.
1. Treat others justly and fairly, v. 1.
2. Continue in earnest prayer, with vigilance and thanksgiving, v. 2:
(1) For us to have an open door for witnessing, v. 3.
(2) For us to be able to reveal clearly the message of Christ, vv. 3-4.
3. Walk in wisdom in the sight of those who are lost . . . making the best
possible use of your time, v. 5.
4. Answer spiritual questions with grace (God's gifting) and with the preserving
properties of salt in a decaying society, v. 6.

II. Meditation: on these major things that we should "heed"
1. Inter-personal relationships - Live by the "Golden Rule," Matthew 7:12.
2. Prayer life - "Pray without ceasing," I Thessalonians 5:17.
3. Daily walk and influence - Produce the "fruit of the spirit," Galatians 5:22-23.
4. Spoken testimony and witness - "Be witnesses to Me," Acts 1:8.

III. Revelation: on the spiritual perspectives of these "heeded" things
1. Living the Chrisian life is not "pie in the sky by-and-by"; rather, it involves
down-to-earth, practical day-by-day living in the "now."
2. Prayer for effective ministry is two-fold:
(1) For an open door of opportunity for service.
(2) For power and guidance to reveal Christ's message clearly when
we go through that open door.
3. Spiritual matters should be given the major portion of our "free" time.
(The apostles gave themselves "continually to prayer and to the ministry
of the word," Acts 6:4. So should we! How much valuable time do we
Christians waste watching television or surfing the internet!)
4. A believer cannot adequately answer spiritual inquiries unless he:
(1) Treats others with love,
(2) fellowships with God in prayer, and
(3) uses his time wisely . . . with the proper priorities and with spiritual discipline.

IV. Applications: as a Christian, I need to . . .
1. Be friendly and courteous to all persons, exhibiting the sweet spirit of Christ in all I do and say.
2. Pray for my church and other worthy Christian ministries . . . that God will prosper and use
them mightily to accomplish His purposes.
3. Discipline myself to give clear priority of time to spiritual things, such as Bible study, meditation,
and prayer.
4. Be open to God's revelation about His truths and purposes . . . so that I may share this God-given
wisdom and knowledge with those who want to know Him better.

Personal Growth of the Minister

Dear JD (Jesus Disciple),
Speaking of covenants . . . We were speaking of covenants, weren't we? OK, speaking of covenants, despite my Christian upbringing and extensive religious training, I had been in the ministry for nearly ten years before I received any serious teaching on the concept of covenants. My wife says I am like that sometimes: missing the obvious. Well, JD, I don't know if it had been obvious, but I had missed it. When I did discover covenant, I was amazed at how very central it is to all we believe and practice. It is foundational.

The number of times the word, covenant, is used in the Bible (297 in the NIV) indicates its importance, In fact, God's whole written revelation to man is divided into the Old and New Covenants (Testaments). On what basis do we think an infinite Creator would bother with a finite creation? On what basis are we able to petition the Omnipotent Ruler of the universe concerning our petty needs and desires? Why is He bound to hear and to answer? Why did Jesus hang between heaven and earth and have His life's blood poured out? Why did He drink of the cup and eat of the bread? The covenants God has made with mankind are the basis for all of our interaction with Him.

The concept of covenant was well known in Biblical days, but almost lost today, It is the blending of two lives into an eternal bond that creates an entirely new entity. Covenant making rituals are very stylized. There is sharing of the blessing and the curses. There is an exchange of vows or promises accompained by an exchange of articles of clothing, indicating all possessions and responsibilities are combined or at least available. There is the exchange or changing of names, forever identifing the two as being in covenant. All of what God did in formally establishing covenants would have been understood by those in covenant-making cultures. For example, the book of Deuteronomy was written from beginning to end as a covenant document in the style of Hittite treaties of the day.

The most graphic element in the covenant ritual is the use of blood. The Hebrew word, berith, means "to cut a blood covenant." In forming a covenant, two bloodlines become one. Covenants, unlike contracts, are everlasting, enduring to all generations and are inviable. The intentional wounding and mingling of blood indicates that two are becoming one blood. The wound is treated so it will scar which gives an ongoing picture of covenant. The use of blood through the slaying of animals symbolizes that death will come to those who try to escape from their covenant responsibilities. Even the celebration elements, the wine and the bread, symbolize the joining together of blood and lives.

God is a covenant-making God. From various Scriptures we discover He has cut covenants with Adam, Noah, Abraham, the Children of Israel, and David. All of these foreshadow the better covenant He cut by the death of Jesus. As a representative of man and of God, Jesus hung between heaven and earth and shed His blood to cut a new covenant. To do so He had to bear in His body the curses (Galatians 3:13-14) for all of the previous broken covenants. In doing so He made it possible for us, who enter into His covenant to receive all of the blessings of those covenants. (II Corinthians 1:20)

JD, many great promises will be overlooked or misunderstood, if not seen in the light of covenant. Take a minute and look at Isaiah 53:4-5; II Corinthians 5:21; II Corinthians 8:9; and II Peter 1:3-4. We certainly don't deserve any of this, but all is out of His great love. PTL!
