God Desire Our Greatness.




Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

- Genesis 12:1

When God asked Abram(before his name became Abraham) to depart from his father's house, don’t think it was a easy decision, because it's not. Here we see a seventy-five years old man; take a decision to leave everything, including inheritance and relatives behind to no-certain destination; except, that God told him, He would show him as he go. Prior to this, there is no example that he can make reference to that have done same. If you don't think he was mocked, think again. But, in chapter thirteen verse two the scripture said, "And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold."
God may not speak to you to depart as recorded in Genesis 12:1. Yet, He's speaks through the Bible, Pastor's and through other medium to make Jesus the Lord of your life. If you are open to the study; that's what, God told Abram; give me you life and let me do something with it.

Everyone that makes this choice, get mocked at one point or another. But, it's a choice you have to consciously make. Jesus speaking in Mark 8:38 said,
"Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

God is saying to you today, get thee out of your sinful ways, quit your sinful habits(these are what Abrams', father's house and kindred represents) and come to me, let me beautify, honour and make your name great, Genesis 12:2.

God is saying, you may not know how it's going to turn-out. But, trust in me to lead you, trust in my love for you, 1 John 4:16.
And in Luke 12:32 He said,
"Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
The land God has promised us, is in Christ, no man can access it without His Son, Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:17-18
"[17]Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
[18]And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ,... "

Know Him today, be at rest, be at peace and enjoy the blessed life.

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...
