Abram’s family moves to Canaan

1 The Lord said to Abram, “Leave your land, your family, and your father’s household for the land that I will show you. 2 I will make of you a great nation and will bless you. I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, those who curse you I will curse; all the families of the earth will be blessed because of you.”

4 Abram left just as the Lord told him, and Lot went with him. Now Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. 5 Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all of their possessions, and those who became members of their household in Haran; and they set out for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, 6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the sacred place at Shechem, at the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites lived in the land at that time. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I give this land to your descendants,” so Abram built an altar there to the Lord who appeared to him. 8 From there he traveled toward the mountains east of Bethel, and pitched his tent with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and worshipped in the Lord’s name. 9 Then Abram set out toward the arid southern plain, making and breaking camp as he went.

Abram and Sarai visit Egypt

10 When a famine struck the land, Abram went down toward Egypt to live as an immigrant since the famine was so severe in the land. 11 Just before he arrived in Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “I know you are a good-looking woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you, they will say, ‘This is his wife,’ and they will kill me but let you live. 13 So tell them you are my sister so that they will treat me well for your sake, and I will survive because of you.”

14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw how beautiful his wife was. 15 When Pharaoh’s princes saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s household. 16 Things went well for Abram because of her: he acquired flocks, cattle, male donkeys, men servants, women servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 Then the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe plagues because of Abram’s wife Sarai. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, “What’s this you’ve done to me? Why didn’t you tell me she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, ‘She’s my sister,’ so that I made her my wife? Now, here’s your wife. Take her and go!” 20 Pharaoh gave his men orders concerning Abram, and they expelled him with his wife and everything he had. — Genesis 12 | Common English Bible (CEB) Common English Bible Copyright © 2011 by Common English Bible.

Abrão e Sarai foram ao Egito por conta de uma fome terrível que atingiu a terra de Canaã, que era onde eles estavam

Aproximando-se da fronteira do Egito, Abrão disse a Sarai, sua mulher: “Você é muito bonita. Quando os egípcios a virem, dirão: ‘É mulher dele. Vamos matá-lo para ficarmos com ela’. Diga, portanto, que é minha irmã. Eles pouparão minha vida e, por sua causa, me tratarão bem”. - Gênesis 12:11‭-‬13 NVT

Então faraó, a tomou como esposa, e Abrão recebeu muitos presentes. Até então tudo estava "indo bem"

Mas, por causa de Sarai, mulher de Abrão, o Senhor enviou pragas terríveis sobre o faraó e sobre os membros de sua casa. - Gênesis 12:17 NVT

Abrão não disse a verdade, e outras pessoas foram prejudicadas, faraó, que não sabia a verdade, não sabia que estava com uma mulher que já tinha um marido, os membros no palácio de faraó, e provavelmente Sarai, por ter passado por essa situação e ter sido exposta de tal forma.

Por conta de uma mentira, olha o que pode acontecer

Parecia simples chegar e contar essa mentirinha, para "ajudar" Abrão que estava com medo de ser morto, mas se ele apenas tivesse contado a verdade nada disso teria acontecido, e talvez ele fosse morto, mas ele seria morto com honra, e honrando ao Deus da verdade, que pode livrar ele das mãos de qualquer um. Abrão, infelizmente teve mais medo do que fé.

Não podemos ter essa atitude, devemos dizer a verdade mesmo com medo, porque o Deus dos deuses e Senhor dos senhores é o nosso Pai, e nos livra de todo mal

The Calling of Abram

1 Forsooth the Lord said to Abram, Go thou out of thy land, and (out) of thy kindred, and (out) of the house of thy father, and come thou into the land which I shall show to thee;

2 and I shall make thee into a great folk (and I shall make thee into a great nation), and I shall bless thee, and I shall magnify thy name, and thou shalt be blessed;

3 I shall bless them that bless thee, and I shall curse them that curse thee; and all kindreds of [the] earth shall be blessed in thee (and all the families on the earth shall pray to be blessed as thou art blessed/and through thee I shall bless all the nations of the earth).

4 And so Abram went out, as the Lord commanded him, and Lot went with him. Abram was five and seventy years (old) when he went out of Haran. 5 And he took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had in possession, and the men which they had begotten in Haran (and all the men, or all the slaves, which they had gotten, or had acquired, in Haran); and they went out (so) that they should go into the land of Canaan. And when they came into it, 6 Abram passed through the land till to the place of Sichem, and till to the noble valley. Forsooth Canaanite was then in the land. (And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, and to the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land.) 7 Soothly the Lord appeared to Abram, and said to him, I shall give this land to thy seed. And Abram built there an altar to the Lord, that appeared to him (And Abram build an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him). 8 And from thence he passed forth to the hill [of] Bethel, that was against the east, and setted there his tabernacle, having Bethel from the west, and Hai from the east. And he builded also there an altar to the Lord, and inwardly called his name. (And from there he went on to the hill country that was east of Bethel, and pitched his tent there, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east. And there he also built an altar to the Lord, and inwardly called on his name.) 9 And Abram went going, and going forth over to the south. (And Abram continued on, and went down to the south.)

10 Soothly hunger was made in the land; and Abram went down into Egypt, to be a pilgrim there (to live there for a while), for hunger had the mastery in the land. 11 And when he was nigh to enter into Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, I know that thou art a fair woman, 12 and that when (the) Egyptians shall see thee, they shall say, It is his wife, and they shall slay me, and keep thee (and then they shall kill me, but keep thee alive). 13 Therefore, I beseech thee, say that thou art my sister, that it be well to me for thee, and that my life live for the love of thee. (And so I beseech thee, say that thou art my sister, and then all shall be well with me, because of thee, and I shall remain alive, because thou hast shown thy love for me.) 14 And so when Abram had entered into Egypt, (the) Egyptians saw the woman, (and) that she was full fair; 15 and the princes told (about her) to Pharaoh, and praised her with him; and (so) the woman was taken up into the house of Pharaoh. 16 Forsooth they used well Abram for her; and sheep, and oxen, and asses, and servants, and servantesses, and she-asses, and camels were (given) to him. (And Pharaoh treated Abram well because of her; and sheep, and oxen, and donkeys, and male and female slaves, and female donkeys, and camels were given to him.)

17 Forsooth the Lord beat Pharaoh and his house with most vengeances for Sarai, the wife of Abram. (But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with great plagues, because of Sarai, the wife of Abram.) 18 And Pharaoh called (for) Abram, and said to him, What is it that thou hast done to me? why showedest thou not to me that she was thy wife? 19 for what cause saidest thou, that she was thy sister, (so) that I should take her into wife to me? Now therefore lo! thy wife; take thou her, and (go)!. 20 And Pharaoh commanded to men on Abram, and they led forth him, and his wife, and all things that he had. (And Pharaoh commanded to his men about Abram, and they sent him away with his wife, and all the things that he had been given.) — Genesis 12 | Wycliffe’s Bible (WYC) The Wycliffe Bible is in the public domain.

Estamos em 2021, e é cada vez mais comum vermos pequenos negócios se destacando no mercado, Youtubers, influenciadores, pessoas que saíram do anonimato conquistando seu lugar na área de trabalho dos sonhos, o que tem motivado muitos a seguirem esses passos para também realizarem seus sonhos

Mas será que eu posso almejar isso?

Deus é bom e pode realizar nossos sonhos; tudo o que Ele projeta em nossos corações é de Sua vontade que se realize, portanto, ore a Deus pedindo confirmação do que você sonha, peça a Deus um espírito sensível para entender os desejos dEle, porque o coração é enganoso, mas o nosso Deus, não.

Deus sempre nos abençoa para que nós também possamos abençoar, tudo é sempre por Ele, para Ele, e dEle, então, sim, você pode almejar ter a vida que sonha, não é errado querer viver algo bom, mas eu preciso te perguntar: você ainda vai buscar a Deus? Você pensa em abençoar e ajudar as pessoas com o que vai conseguir? Seu ministério ainda será levado a sério? Você terá sabedoria para louvar a Deus pelo que Ele fez em sua vida, ou vai bater no peito e dizer que só chegou lá por sua causa? Deus ainda será o primeiro em sua vida?

Deus abençoou muitos dos seus filhos na bíblia e os tornou famosos com propósito

Salomão, que pediu a Deus sabedoria e então recebeu além, riquezas e fama, escreveu provérbios que nos abençoam e abençoarão até o fim da vida, porém não teve um fim bom por suas escolhas.

José, que depois de tanto sofrer foi posto em destaque no Egito e abençoou milhares de vidas por sua sabedoria e posição como governador, tirando, assim muitas famílias da fome

O Senhor Deus diz a Abrão claramente:

Farei de você uma grande nação, o abençoarei e o tornarei famoso, e você será uma benção para outros. - Gênesis 12:2

The Call of Abram

1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.

6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.

7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him.

8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.

9 And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.

10 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.

11 And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.

14 And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.

17 And the Lord plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram's wife.

18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
