—-⭐️📖“And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord” (Genesis 12:7- 😎.

⚫️Bethel is a special place.

⚫️There was where Abram pitched his tent and built an altar unto the Lord.

⚫️Chapter thirteen of the same book, from verse one, reads thus:

—-⭐️📖“And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning (we read that in Genesis 12:8), between Bethel and Hai; Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.” (Genesis 13:1-4).

⚫️This lets us know Bethel is the place of the altar.

⚫️It’s the place of commitment; the place of the vow.

⚫️Bethel is that place where you get to and say, “Lord, all I have is yours.”

⚫️It’s the place where you erect an altar before the Lord.

⚫️That altar in itself signifies surrender.

⚫️So Bethel is also the place of surrender.

⚫️Have you come to Bethel in your Christian walk?

✅Hallelujah!!!!
