Given a Witness!
Genesis 31:43-55

A covenant promise becomes binding, when there are witnesses (Gen 31:52) that can hear and see that the parties have vow and given an oath to what they have committed to each other (Gen 31:54). Laban and Jacob have entered into a “witness of giving” to each other, a covenant that was witnessed by each other, by their family, by their workers and by the LORD. (Gen 31:44-54). They set up stones that would give witness (Gen 31:45-46) and they also ask God to watch over them all as a Witness (Gen 31:49). They name the place Galeed which means “Heap of Witnesses (Gen 31:48). Disciple Principle: God takes us all on a journey and gives us places or crossroad encounters, that cause us to come to Him as our Mediator (Rock) and to break bread with Him as a witness to our faith and commitment (communion), which we have given to each other.
