Genesis 12:1-3
The Obedience of Abram
12:1 Now the Lord said to Abram,
“Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household
to the land that I will show you.
12:2 Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you,
and I will make your name great,
so that you will exemplify divine blessing.
12:3 I will bless those who bless you,
but the one who treats you lightly I must curse,
and all the families of the earth will bless one another by your name.”
Genesis 45:20
45:20 Don’t worry
about your belongings, for the best of all the land of Egypt will be yours.’”
Deuteronomy 33:9-11
33:9 He said to his father and mother, “I have not seen him,”
and he did not acknowledge his own brothers
or know his own children,
for they kept your word,
and guarded your covenant.
33:10 They will teach Jacob your ordinances
and Israel your law;
they will offer incense as a pleasant odor,
and a whole offering on your altar.
33:11 Bless, O Lord, his goods,
and be pleased with his efforts;
undercut the legs of any who attack him,
and of those who hate him, so that they cannot stand.
Luke 22:28-30
22:28 “You are the ones who have remained with me in my trials.
22:29 Thus I grant to you a kingdom, just as my Father granted to me,
22:30 that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Hebrews 11:24-26
11:24 By faith, when he grew up, Moses refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,
11:25 choosing rather to be ill-treated with the people of God than to enjoy sin’s fleeting pleasure.
11:26 He regarded abuse suffered for Christ
to be greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for his eyes were fixed on
the reward.
