And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Israel shall be your name.” 1 Kings 18:31

Every stone represented a son of Jacob, a foundation in the faith in God. The symbolism was true, because without the promises that were passed to Jacob’s sons, we would not have the faith we have today. Everyone who is saved is also a foundation for others to put their faith in the Most High. Jesus said that those who are born again, whose sins have been forgiven, and who received the Holy Spirit would be His witnesses in the world (Acts 1:8).

In order to rebuild the altar of the Lord, Elijah took 12 stones that represented the 12 tribes of Israel. When Joshua crossed the river Jordan in dry land, he ordered a man from each tribe to take a stone from there so that future generations would know that they crossed by foot while the river’s banks were overflowing. God wanted His people to trust in what happened to Jacob, who was later called Israel.

The 12 tribes have great meaning and did not happen by chance. Jacob had ten sons with Leah and her concubine. However, with Rachel, who was barren and made him work for 14 years to marry her, he had to struggle a lot before God so that he had the right number of sons. Rachel paid with her own life to see her last son get born. However, no sacrifice will be in vain, but will have its reward. Halleluiah!

Everything must happen according to what is written, for everything that is mentioned in the Bible has a purpose. Jesus told us to examine the Scriptures, because eternal life is in them, and they testify about Him (John 5:39). Whoever does not study the Word does not learn about the Savior or about themselves. Those who are dedicated in seeking the Lord’s revelation become victorious.

Situations in your life will happen according to the Scriptures and to what you believe. The divine guidance is that miracles will happen according to our faith. That was how the Master healed the two blind men that followed Him on the way and who asked Him to have mercy. Follow the Lord, cry out for His compassion, and know that your faith is important for the work to be properly executed. It is worthless to ask if you are not interested in being completely healed.

The Lord gave a word to Jacob, and He will give it to you as well. The message is the same, but it may contain other details. You are important in God’s plan. Now, this doesn’t mean that you will become rich in material goods and praised by many people. It means that you will do the Most High’s work, and therefore, for all eternity, you will enjoy the blessings for having fulfilled His will.

Do not waste the opportunity of deciding about your eternal life. Those who are led by the flesh and the things of this world will never be successful in their actions. Now is the right time for you to prepare to live in the days to come in a wonderful and blessed way. Do not exchange a beautiful future for an immeasurable suffering in Hell.

In Christ, with love,

God of Israel! Jacob was wise in hearing You. When he did so, he was capable of serving and loving You. We want to fulfill Your will while we are in this world. Do not let us embark in the way of prostitution and so many other sins.

Our will in life is to please You, preparing for our future. In eternity, Your Word, which we love, will be our reward. For all centuries, we will be together with You, fulfilling Your purpose, which began to be revealed in this life. 

May Your blessed hand reach us, and Your Spirit guide us! Thus, we will walk from glory to glory, from faith to faith, and in Your love. With Your help, we will build a name that will be useful for us forever. Thank You for always allowing us to serve and love You!
