Please before you make that journey, read this…

“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”- Genesis 12:1

“And I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing”- Genesis 12:2

“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”

After Abram heard this from God, he departed from Haran his home country with his wife Sarai and his brother’s son –Lot and they left with everything they had in Haran. (Can you see now that it is not a NEW thing for people to sell everything they have, including their houses and cars jut to travel abroad, it is not new and it is not bad, as long as it’s a direction from God, because that was what Abram did as far back as centuries ago).

On his way to the foreign country, Abram stopped at Canaan (it’s just the same way that people stop over in a transit country when traveling to some foreign countries in our present day. But they haven’t reached their destination yet, that transit country may even be the country that might your future place of permanent resident, who knows).


While Abram was going to Egypt from his home country Haran, he stopped over at Canaan and prayed to God there, Canaan didn’t have anything good thing for him at that time, because they were also going through famine, but God promised him the land there, but that wasn’t his place of destination at this time, he was still going to Egypt, where he was going to make it and become rich and wealthy!

Egypt at this time was one of the best countries to live in, they had everything, very rich. Just like some countries in the world today where many people are migrating to for survival, for better life.

But as Abram was approaching Egypt he developed cold feet and became afraid.

Why did he suddenly become afraid? Yes, this happens even to many of us in the current world, in spite of the current civilization in the world, we still become afraid when going to a foreign country. We are afraid of racism, impartial treatment by the citizens of the country, maybe because of our race, skin color or because of the way we speak, discrimination and all other reasons.
