Hebrews 11:8-19
[8] By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 
[9] By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise; 
[10] for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose builder and maker is God. 
[11] By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. 
[12] Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born as many as the stars of the sky in multitude—innumerable as the sand which is by the seashore. 
[13] These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 
[14] For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. 
[15] And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 
[16] But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them. 
[17] By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 
[18] of whom it was said, “In Isaac your seed shall be called,” 
[19] concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Thursday, 13th August, 2026.

Today, we discuss Abraham, the father of faith. This patriarch is described as the friend of God, the one who believed God even when it didn't make human sense.

First, God instructed Abraham to leave his father's house to a place He would show him, Abraham obeyed and left. Not only did he leave, he looked forward to the city God had promised without looking back. He looked for a city whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:10). Like Abraham, God also calls us today to leave our worldly treasures and follow Him to the heavenly city. Philippians 3:20 tells us that our citizenship is in heaven. It's a choice to follow God in faith like Abraham did, or hold on to what seems certain but will eventually be destroyed.

God promised Abraham a son; He assured him that he would be the father of many nations. According to Romans 4:18-21, Abraham did not stagger at the promise of God through unbelief; he believed God despite the obvious biological disadvantages. Beloved, this is a great lesson for us, to trust God despite medical or physical evidence to the contrary. You might have received damaging medical reports or terrible news but faith tells you to believe the report of the Lord which supersedes every other report.

Abraham received Isaac by faith but God asked him to sacrifice Isaac. He obeyed again. Abraham's obedience through faith was counted to him for righteousness (Romans 4:22). If we also believe wholly in Christ Jesus, we will be partakers of His righteousness.

As believers in Jesus Christ, our faith in God will also make demands of us today. There are times that we would be required to give up precious things to test the level of our trust in God. How we respond determines whether or not we get the rewards of righteousness.

Beloved, the truth is that God will not make demands to harm His children. Every instruction God gives is to help His children come to a place of total submission to Him. May your faith not fail where it matters most, in Jesus' name.
