About this Episode

" 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐕𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲" is the topic that will be discussed today on RIOT Podcast, a Christian Discipleship Podcast


In the School of Faith, Abraham's journey unfolds with unpredictable challenges, showcasing his roles as a warrior and worshiper. Faced with boundary disputes and unexpected battles, Abraham's faith leads him to make righteous decisions in seemingly hopeless situations. His attitude, depicted in Genesis 14:13-16, reveals a balance of separation and alliance with locals, emphasizing the importance of helping others in times of trouble.

Abraham's army, born in his house, mirrors the spiritual truth of overcoming the world through faith. Armed, prepared, and trained, they chase the enemy, illustrating the need for effective spiritual equipment and knowledge of God's word. The victory stems from dependence on the Spirit and prayer, highlighting the significance of these weapons in overcoming overwhelming circumstances.

Returning from battle, Abraham faces a new challenge, symbolized by two kings—Bera of Sodom and Melchizedek of Salem. Choosing between worldly temptation and the King of Righteousness, Abraham's decision to reject Bera and accept Melchizedek reflects a statement of faith: "Take the world, but give me Jesus." Melchizedek blesses Abraham, emphasizing the importance of relying on the Most High God, the possessor of heaven and earth, for true prosperity.

Genesis 14:20 introduces tithing, showcasing Abraham's acknowledgment that all belongs to God. This practice, predating the Mosaic law, serves as a model for Christians today. Abraham's giving, motivated by love and gratitude, contrasts with the worship of heathen idols. In a world where everything is either God's or self-serving idols, Abraham's example inspires genuine, worshipful giving.

In summary, Abraham's journey unfolds as a testament to faith, resilience, and worship. His experiences, from resolving disputes to engaging in battles and choosing between worldly offers and divine blessings, provide valuable lessons for believers today. The narrative underscores the importance of balanced attitudes, spiritual preparedness, and sincere giving in navigating life's unpredictable challenges on the path of faith.
