“Now in Haran the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself, for your own advantage away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you with abundant increase of favors and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing dispensing good to others. And I will bless those who bless you, who confer prosperity or happiness upon you and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed and by you they will bless themselves. So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot his nephew went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the persons, servants that they had acquired in Haran, and they went forth to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, Abram passed through the land to the locality of Shechem, to the oak or terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, I will give this land to your posterity, so Abram built an altar there to the Lord, Who had appeared to him.” Genesis 12:1-5

Have you tried to obey God in the things He had said to you openly or in private? Have you ever decided to follow His words rather than your feelings and understanding? Have you ever tried to walk in obedience even when it is out of your ways, thoughts and desires in life? Every art of obedience to the Lord despite the pains you may think it will cause to you will definitely be rewarded handsomely with time. God will not put any demand on you, your spirit, and in your heart without a direct and sincere determination to bless you thereafter and He will never ask you that which He will never enable you to do no matter how difficult or hard that thing may be. Abram walking in obedience without knowing the way but God went with him and his life became a testimony till this very day. God asked Abram to do what He was capable of deciding on, capable of doing and will definitely do.

God will never put you in danger with His words, dreams and visions; He will never hand you over to any of your enemies or to people who seek to kill or destroy your life; He will never allow the righteous to go aimless and be engaged in things that will not nourish and refresh their souls in Him on earth; He will never allow them to stray into or remain in darkness, in shame, idleness, in loneliness, and any form of satanic controlled or manipulated situation indefinitely. Our God will never ask you to do what will lead to your being declare a dismal failure or what will lead to your being laughed at by men later in life. Before He called you, He knew you will answer the call; before He sends you in any assignment, He knew you will be well able to do, can do it, can handle everything that will come with it, and you will succeed in doing them despite all the delays, the oppositions, the frustrations and the disappointments that you will encounter. God will not send you on an errand without arming you with thing you will need to succeed and without sending His angels to go with you. 

He did not save you because you can or will be able to save yourself; but He saved you because He knew you cannot and will never be able to save yourself despite your strength, knowledge, profession, and the level of your wealth. Because God knew your weaknesses and your strength, He also knew what you can do now and what you will be able to do later on in life; because He knows you, He will do for you what you have not been able to do and will never be able to do in this life despite your great strength, your good knowledge and high profession. Because He knows you, He also knows your situations and will address them; He knows the things that hinders and frustrates you and will give you the victory over them. Like Abraham you father, you have been called to succeed and you can and will succeed in Jesus Name. For prayers, Click here
