TEXT: Genesis 12: 1-3.
When the Lord called Abraham, it was clear from the
beginning what is required of him and the blessings that will follow. Too many
are doing what they do not have divine understanding about and that’s why they
are confused, frustrated and unfulfilled. A careful examination of the
scripture for today will reveal to you certain things that are very important
in understanding and fulfilling the call of God for your life. The first thing
God told him to do was to leave his kindred and his father’s house. If you will
be able to do the will of God then you must walk away from every sentimental
attachment to your family. When you are among your kindred you can become
distracted by the various demands and activities. Sometimes, over familiarity
will make some make a mockery of what you are saying or doing. They will tell
you your life history and the reason why you should not aspire beyond your
family achievements. When you are surrounded by your kindred, you may become
passive about your pursuit because you know if things become hard you can run
to one of them close by. But if you know that it may not be possible to get
anyone to sympathize with you, you will be forced to sit up. When God told him to move, he also told him
that he should look out for what he will show him. God may not require you to
relocate from one town to another but he expects you to relocate in the way you
think. If you limit yourself to the norm you will slow down or hinder the
supernatural upgrade of your life. If you keep your eyes on Him you will be
amazed how far He will take you. Walk by faith and follow wherever and however
He leads you and you will not lack the glory. There is more in store for you
this year than your physical eyes can see, go after God and your part will be
filled with glory.
