Until that step is taken
Good morning, Gods people across the globe, Praise the Lord. We are going to read the scriptures. Today, we are reading Genesis chapter 12.
God Himself said that whenever people agree as to what they want to do, that nothing can hinder them. But when it is contrary to the will of God, God can go against him. And if God goes against a man, that person will not be able to achieve anything. That person will become a failure.
From the scripture we read and observed, there is a promise God gave to Abraham. And that promise was a great one. To bless him above all nations. To make him an eternal blessing to all the people. And Abraham had it. But when he had the promises of God, he didn’t keep quiet. He took a journey in the direction that God asked him to go.
In verse 6, we see that Abraham passed through the land onto the plain of Zikar. Onto the plain of Moriah. And the Canaanites were then in the land. Abraham took a journey. He went. He departed from the swamp.
So Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken unto him. Abraham made an effort towards what God said he would do with him. In the same way, there are promises that God has made to us individually.
We all have a promise of God hanging over our destinies. It might be in our health. It might be in our finances, it might be in of protection. It might be that of making our work prosper. It might be achieving a global influence.
All those promises God has made to you as an individual. They are proposals. They are proposals that needed deliberate actions on our part to activate.
And until we take that word of God or that promise of God that he has made to us and begin to work on it in meditation, finding out how it will happen and asking deep, sincere questions like, Will this promise of God be fulfilled when I remain in the place God has left me and take no steps? But here, Abraham had the promise of God about how he wanted to make it. And he took a journey in line with what God had for us and the great things we wanted to achieve with us.
There is an initial step that needs to be taken. And until that step is taken, you remain where you are. So look within, identify that promise of God that you have not taken any steps toward, and make a move.
What is that great promise of God that has to do with your finances? That has to do with what God wants to achieve with you.
The greatness he wants to achieve with you in your community, in your town, in your field, and in your area of expertise will always remain a proposal until a step is taken in the direction of obedience.
When we read the word of God, we should ensure that we allow the word of God to rule us. Allow what God has said to command the pace, dictate our action, dictate our thoughts, and dictate the direction we take. So, this is an important aspect of achieving what God has said.
Today, we need to have good thinking, and good consideration. What promise has God given to us? The only way that promise can be realized is to take some action. Take a step in the direction God has spoken.
Any person that is a child of God, any person who wants to prosper with God, needs to look at what Jesus did. And that is one of the reasons behind this meeting. It was said of Jesus in Mark chapter 1 verse 5–5. But Jesus, rising up like a great light before the day, He went into a safe place and prayed. He went and communed with God. He listened to God. He had the voice of God speaking to his life, speaking to his situation, speaking to his circumstance. And when that voice of God speaks to him in the presence of God, he goes with that awareness.
And what follows is that as he is moving out with awareness of God’s presence, of God’s power, of God’s dictates, of God’s plans, he talk with a sound mind and also walk confidently, knowing that God is within our heart.
But if early in the morning He is there snoring, he will not be able to control his actions, commit his actions and that could lead a fruitless day for him. Let’s endeavor to emulate the ways of Christ in totality so we can be a true representation of him here on earth.
In order to keep the voice of God alive wherever we go, we must be intentional about our intimacy with God because the voice of God you have heard in the morning will be on our mind. We focus on it and that will lead us to great success and breakthroughs as we interact in our areas of endeavors.
