UNDERSTANDING THE WORD (PART 3)

NOVEMBER 28TH


TEXT: Genesis 13:9-18 King James Version (KJV)

9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.

11 Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

14 And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:

15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

16 And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.

18 Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the Lord.


When Lot followed his selfish desires, it was as though he had gone ahead of Abraham in life, but he did not know that he had settled for a cursed place. There are many who have left their place of service for that which is devoid of the presence and favor of God, but they think life is good, how unfortunate!

For those who are patient enough to wait on the Lord like Abraham, pay day is coming. There are going to be strange and awesome miracles, God is set to bless us beyond our imagination and calculation. Just the way the Lord spoke to Abraham after Lot left, God is ready to call forth the blessings of the man that is faithful to follow heaven's agenda.

If you have not seen any sign of it yet, just be patient, there is glory ahead.


Does it seem like others who followed their wisdom and canal reasoning have gone ahead of you? Don't worry, God has not forgotten, He will come through for you. Relax, God is always in control.
