Abram did not have much and in fact, lived with his daddy.
One day, God appeared to Abram and told him to leave his daddy’s home to a place HE
will show him later. God also promised to give him lots of good things so much that he will
have to share with everybody on the earth! Abram believed God, left his daddy’s home, and
guess what? God kept His promise!
Suddenly, Abram had so many goats, cows, sheep and lots of money! Can you imagine what
next? His nephew Lot who moved into the new home with him also became very rich having
