Genesis Ch 9 vs 7 to vs 29

Pastor Bob Thibodeau emphasizes the importance of giving love offerings to God from a place of gratitude, as seen through the example of Noah's sacrifices. This act of generosity is not mandated but comes from the heart, leading to blessings that allow individuals to be fruitful and multiply in all areas of life.

The discussion transitions into a reading of Genesis chapter nine, focusing on God's covenant with Noah and the significance of the rainbow as a sign of this everlasting promise. The episode also delves into the aftermath of Noah’s actions following the flood, particularly the consequences faced by his sons, especially Ham and his lineage.

Pastor Bob encourages listeners to reflect on the deeper meanings behind these biblical narratives and their relevance in today's context.

Hello, everyone, everywhere.

Pastor Bob Thibodeau here.

Welcome to the 15 Minute Bible Walk for today.

We're so blessed you're joining us.

Last time we left off talking about Noah being blessed by God for the love offering he gave of sacrifice from the clean animals.

No, it's not the unclean, just the clean.

And how he gave that love offering out of his heart.

He was not commanded to do it.

He did it out of his heart.

And I talked last time about when you give a love offering and you give it to God when it's not even required, you just want to be a blessing.

God blesses you.

And we talked about that.

And then the blessing came down and we started reading about that in verse chapter nine and we got all the way down to verse six.

We talked about capital punishment.

So you missed all that.

Go back to the prior episode and catch up.

Today we're going to start in Genesis, chapter nine, verse seven.

And you, who's he talking about here?

You.

This is talking about you.

He's talking to Noah.

But through Noah, he's talking to you.

All right.

You be fruitful and multiply.

Bring forth abundantly in the earth and multiply therein.

Folks, we just got done talking about the love offering.

When you give God a love offering out of the goodness of your heart because you want to show God how much you appreciate him, God blesses you.

And part of that blessing is for you to be fruitful, to multiply, to bring forth abundantly.

Praise God.

What's your business doing this year?

How is, you know, here we are kicking off the new year right now.

That's why I'm saying the new year is here.

And do you want to multiply?

Do you want to be blessed abundantly?

Think about giving an offering to start the year with, folks.

Praise God.

Start this off right.

You know, our ministry, we need finances to do what we do.

We were, we are on counting this podcast.

We got this podcast.

We got four podcasts running.

We're on a radio, we are doing speaking.

You know, we're publishing materials.

Folks, we appreciate your love offerings.

We really do.

And none of it goes to salaries.

We do not pay salaries out of our offerings that we receive.

It goes strictly to operations.

Amen.

So drop down the show notes, send us a love arm and go to, you know, you can go to any one of our websites, Freedom Through Faith Ministries, FTFM.org KCR podcast.

You know, just go, I Guess the best one to be.

FTFM.org that's our main website, FTFM.org freedom through faith ministries.org send us a love offering.

Praise God.

We pray over it.

We.

We send you your receipts at the end of the year.

We are a tax deductible, you know, IRS 501C3 approved organization.

All right, let me just leave it there.

The point I'm trying me, that just came out of me.

But the point I'm trying to be is the blessing is upon you when you give a love offering that God did not tell you to give.

All right, you're giving it out of the love of your heart for what he's already done for you.

He said, be fruitful.

Multiply.

Bring forth abundantly.

You need a blessing in your business.

Bring forth abundantly.

Praise God.

Multiply therein in your business.

Praise God.

All right, Moving on.

Verse 8.

And God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him saying, and I behold, I establish my covenant with you and with your seed, with your descendants after you and every living creature that is with you, the fowl, the cattle, every beast of the earth with you from all that go out of the ark to every beast of the earth.

I will establish my covenant with you out of all of this.

I'm making my deal with you, boy.

Neither shall all flesh be cut off anymore by the waters of a flood.

Neither shall there be any more be a flood to destroy the whole earth.

Now, that doesn't say there's never going to be a flood.

We know that's not right.

It does not say he's not going to destroy, you know, cities and towns and villages.

You know that's not right.

It says all of it.

He's not going to wipe everybody out anymore.

God said in verse 12, this is the token of the covenant.

This is the sign of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations.

Praise God.

Not many generations.

Perpetual generation means it never stops.

Praise God.

I set my bow in the cloud.

It should be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

Me, God and the earth.

What did we just read over here in chapter 8, verse 20?

While the earth remains.

Amen.

Praise God.

Shout Amen.

Somebody somewhere, because that's us.

We're here right now.

So we're still under this covenant.

It should come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth that the bow shall be seen in the cloud.

And I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and Every living creature of all flesh.

The waters shall no more become a flood that destroy all flesh.

The bow shall be in the cloud.

And I will look upon it that I remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that's upon the earth.

And God said to Noah, this is the token of the covenant which I've established between me and all flesh upon the earth.

Now let me, other than the animals, who's all the flesh?

Noah and his family at this point in time.

Okay, just saying.

Verse 18.

And the sons of Noah that went forth from the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth and Ham as the father of Canaan.

All right.

These are the three sons of Noah.

And of them was the whole earth overspread.

And Noah began to be a husbandman and he planted a vineyard and he drank of the wine and was drunk and he was uncovered within his tent.

Now does that mean Noah was an alcoholic?

No, it means he was planting vineyards.

He, you know, not just vineyards, he was planting crops too.

Right.

But the vineyards gave them the grape juice.

We'll just call it grape juice.

It could be.

We don't know what it is, but we, we, we'll just say that's what it.

If you're waiting for the next harvest to come in, if you're preparing for the next year, right.

You keep it in store.

You're saving up, you're not going to, you know, drink it all.

And then in three months time, and then you got to wait a whole year for the next, you're going to keep it in store.

And in the process of doing that, it was becoming fermented.

And obviously Noah developed a taste for the fermented wine.

All right, that's sort of laugh, but that's, you know, I'm just trying to be straight up front with you here.

All right.

And in doing that, he became drunk.

And one day when he was drunk, he was uncovered within his tent.

He was naked and in his tent.

And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the naked of his father and went out and bragged about it and told his two brothers.

He was mocking him.

I've got a study that goes into a little bit more detail than we have time for here because it's like a three part series on a Sunday morning.

So it's like three hours long.

And there are, there's a couple of different theories on what this meant.

He either saw him naked and was making fun of him.

Number two, he went in and had a relationship with his father.

We'll just leave it at that.

Number three, the one I kind of tend towards is he must have had an incestuous relationship with his mother.

And you'll see why as we get down into this.

But I'm not going to go any more detail in that than that because the Bible's not clear.

It just says that he went out and bragged about it to his brothers.

All right.

And verse 23.

Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it upon their shoulders, walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father.

And their faces were backwards, so they did not look upon their father's nakedness.

Verse 24.

Noah woke from his wine, knew what his younger son had done to him.

Now there's a big gap between all this that I don't have time to go into.

So we're just going to keep reading what the scripture says.

Verse 25.

And he said, cursed be Canaan, A servant of servants he shall be to his brethren.

And he said, blessed be the Lord God, Yahweh, Elohim of Shem.

And Canaan shall be his Shem's servant.

Canaan shall be Shem's servant.

God shall enlarge Japheth.

He shall dwell in the tents of Shem.

In other words, he'll be Shem's in charge.

But Japheth is part of the blessing here as well.

And Canaan shall be his servant.

And Noah lived after the flood 350 years.

And all the days of Noah were 950 years.

So who is the one who's blessed?

Shem.

Right.

Who were the sons?

Shem, Ham and Japheth.

Jpeth is going to dwell with with Shem.

Canaan is the one who's cursed.

Now think about this.

Here we read Canaan.

Cursed is Canaan a servant of servants.

He'll be to his brother in verse 26.

Bless is the Lord God of Shem.

Canaan shall be his servant.

Servant to them, to Shem, to Japheth.

God shall enlarge Japheth.

And he'll dwell in the tents of Shem.

And Canaan shall be his servant.

And Noah lived after the flood 350 years.

All the days of Noah were 950 years.

All right, we're going to stop there for today.

So we'll pick it up next time in chapter 10, verse one.

But I just want you to pray about what it was that Canaan had done.

I should say Ham.

Ham.

Japheth.

Ham's the father of Canaan.

So you got Shem.

Japheth and Ham is the father of Canaan.

What would cause Noah to curse his grandson?

I want you to think about that.

Why would I know my grandbabies?

They are precious in my eyes.

They can do no wrong in Papa's eyes.

I'll put it like that.

I don't care what they do.

They have papa's babies at 27 years old now.

They're still my babies at the time of this recording.

They're 27 years old.

27.

25.

19.

Right.

Multiple of them.

We got seven of them.

Put it like that.

But the point I want to make is why would.

What would happen to cause Noah to curse his grandson who wasn't even born at the time?

Right.

Why?

And that's where I go off on some of the trainings that sermons and teachings that I've talked about on this subject.

I'm not going to do it here.

Got to go over to Freedom Through Faith Ministries and catch that broadcast and see all the videos and all that stuff over there on that.

That's all we're going to do for today.

Till next time as Pastor Bob, reminding you that you need to be blessed in all that you do.
