LOOK UNTO YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER

A Deep Exposition of Covenant Lineage, Spiritual Formation, and Destiny Fulfilment

Text:

“Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.” — Isaiah 51:2 (KJV)

1. THE PROPHETIC WEIGHT OF THIS INSTRUCTION

When Isaiah delivered this word, Israel was in a season of desolation, confusion, and identity loss.

God did not give them:

A new prophecy

A new miracle

A new system

Instead, He gave them a direction of focus:

“LOOK.”

From a Hebrew concordance standpoint:

Look (נָבַט – nabat)

➤ To gaze with sustained attention until revelation is formed

➤ To consider with intent to imitate

This means:

God was not asking them to admire Abraham—He was asking them to study a pattern for replication.

2. ABRAHAM: THE PROTOTYPE OF COVENANT DESTINY

From a Bible dictionary perspective, Abraham is:

“The father of the faithful; the original recipient of covenant promise through whom God established a generational pattern.”

The Divine Sequence in the Text:

(1) “I CALLED HIM” — QARA

To summon into divine purpose To separate from the ordinary

📖 Genesis 12:1

“Get thee out… unto a land that I will shew thee.”

➡️ Calling always precedes clarity.

(2) “I BLESSED HIM” — BARAK

To empower for fruitfulness To release divine enablement

📖 Genesis 12:2

“I will bless thee… and thou shalt be a blessing.”

➡️ Blessing is not money—it is divine capacity working through a man.

(3) “I INCREASED HIM” — RABAH

To multiply beyond limitation To expand influence, seed, and impact

📖 Genesis 22:17

“In blessing I will bless thee… in multiplying I will multiply thy seed…”

➡️ Increase is the visible outcome of an invisible covenant.

3. WHY GOD INCLUDED SARAH: THE MYSTERY OF SPIRITUAL FORMATION

“…and unto Sarah that bare you…”

This is doctrinally critical.

From biblical theology:

Abraham = Covenant Carrier

Sarah = Covenant Incubator

Sarah represents:

The environment that nurtures destiny The system that forms what God has called

📖 Hebrews 11:11

“Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed…”

➡️ What Abraham carried, Sarah processed and produced.

God’s instruction reveals a law:

Destiny is not self-generated—it is transmitted through alignment.

This is why Scripture says:

📖 Hebrews 13:7

“Remember them which have the rule over you… whose faith follow…”

📖 1 Corinthians 4:15

“For though ye have ten thousand instructors… yet have ye not many fathers…”

5. THE TRAGEDY OF THIS GENERATION

Many believers today:

Want Abraham’s blessing But reject Abraham’s structure

They want:

Increase without covering

Results without discipleship

Destiny without fathering

But God’s system has never changed:

No father → No formation → No full manifestation

6. THE PRESENT-DAY EXPRESSION OF THIS SCRIPTURE

God still raises Abrahams and Sarahs in every generation.

Reverend Olusola Areogun (Daddy)

A man called into divine assignment A carrier of accurate doctrine and revelation A father raising men into spiritual maturity and destiny clarity

Reverend Oyenike Areogun (Mummy)

A vessel of grace, stability, and nurturing strength A spiritual mother helping believers grow, stabilize, and become

➡️ Together, they represent:

A living covenant system where destinies are not just discovered—but formed, trained, and released.

7. WHAT IT MEANS TO “LOOK” IN PRACTICAL TERMS

To “look” is not passive. It involves:

1. Observation

Study their walk, not just their words

2. Submission

Position yourself under divine order

3. Imitation

Adopt their faith patterns

4. Consistency

Stay long enough for formation to occur

8. WHY MANY DESTINIES FAIL

Not because God did not call them…

But because they refused to be formed.

They:

Jump from place to place

Resist correction

Avoid structure

And so:

Gifts remain raw

Calling remains unclear

Destiny remains aborted

9. CHURCH: GOD’S SYSTEM FOR RAISING DESTINY

Church is not:

A weekly gathering A social space

It is:

God’s ordained system for fathering, mothering, and forming destinies

It is where:

Doctrine shapes you

Correction refines you

Relationships strengthen you

Grace flows into you

10. THE CALL TO ACTION: YOU MUST BE PLANTED

“They that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish…” — Psalm 92:13

You cannot “look” from a distance.

You must be planted within the system.

11. FINAL PROPHETIC CHARGE

Stop trying to build your life alone.

Stop wandering without structure.

Look unto your father.

Look unto your mother.

And as you align:

The calling will become clear

The blessing will become evident

The increase will become undeniable

CLOSING DECLARATION

You will not miss your lineage.

You will not miss your covering.

You will not miss your destiny.

In the name of Jesus.

The Message Bearer (SmilingPreacher), Cornelius Bella
