Bride of Christ - Part1 ( Rebekah )

Genesis 24: 1- 5

Verse 5
The servant asked him, “What if the woman is unwilling to come back with me to this land? Shall I then take your son back to the country you came from?

Verse 8
If the woman is unwilling to come back with you, then you will be released from this oath of mine. Only do not take my son back there.”


Don't take back my son - come towards Christ.
Leave everything of world to come to Christ. Don't turn back.
Why do we go back again and gain to sinful things is many times we go under law

Always bring people to Christ - Have that fellowship.

Not Giving up meeting together
Hebrews 10:25

The danger of not meeting is we fall into sin. my own story when i was alone, all temptations will come up. But when I meet and see the encouragement, i get build up.


Verse 12
12 Then he prayed, “Lord, God of my master Abraham, make me successful today, and show kindness to my master Abraham. 13 See, I am standing beside this spring, and the daughters of the townspeople are coming out to draw water. 14 May it be that when I say to a young woman, ‘Please let down your jar that I may have a drink,’ and she says, ‘Drink, and I’ll water your camels too’—let her be the one you have chosen for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master.”

19 After she had given him a drink, she said, “I’ll draw water for your camels too, until they have had enough to drink.” 20 So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, ran back to the well to draw more water, and drew enough for all his camels. 21 Without saying a word, the man watched her closely to learn whether or not the Lord had made his journey successful.

When servant prayed how did he pray. Why

Sarah mother of house 318 people. Genesis 14:14

Such is the servant heart of rebekah.


Rebekah - servant attitude of Christ.
No complaints, no murmurs
Not just doing duty, but constantly looking for how to help fellow believers.

If a great person comes to our house we would do every thing but in church how we do.


Rebekah might have said to herself , they are better than me

Phillipians 2:3
Consider one another better than others.
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

How is our attitude to our fellow church brethren.

Matthew 25:
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

Not having Servanthood is the lawlessness..

John 21:17 - Loving God more than all these things is Feed the lamb.

How do we know we love God more than all things of the world.

Do you love more than all things of the world - how do we know because of feeding the Sheep.


V58: Go by Faith
Listen to the Word of God.
Go by faith
Not by what mom and dad say, friends say, world's say-
No idea who the man is, the place, but by faith.


Hearing the Word.
Many times , we hear people saying Lord please reveal the same thing to my family also .
But God spoke to you.


Genesis 25: 21-23

 22 The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 The Lord said to her,
“Two nations are in your womb,
    and two peoples from within you will be separated;
one people will be stronger than the other,
    and the older will serve the younger.

Genesis 27:5,6

Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back, Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau.

It is Rebekah who heard the Word of God.
The Church which takes out the detestable thing and bless the promised one.
