GOD WHO DELIVERED LOT AND HIS FAMILY

Post date: Feb 25, 2015 4:56:19 AM

Many are currently in situations they cannot give adequate explain on how and why they got into it; till this very day and time they are still there and have been there long enough to deserve a change but unfortunately, the expected change is not forthcoming as they have anticipated in their thoughts and imaginations. Most cannot precisely explain why they got there in the first instance and why they are still there after many years pf being saved and believing God for the miraculous; they do not understand why after many years of fervent and consistent prayers and fasting; after many years of trusting God with all their hearts and strength; after many years of following all of His instructions; after many years of walking in Him and with Him faithfully in all things; after many years of paying tithes and giving great offerings; after many years of being faithful to divine instructions and revelations; after many years of giving to support His work; and after many years of being godly in their daily activities, yet the change they expected still seem very far off. The good news is that God is still with you and will show Himself.

Many known, called and identified by these situations that had refused to go away and they are wondering what to do next. The good news is that God never leaves His own irrespective of their situations and the views of men. God has not forgotten you thought it may seem you have been forgotten; He will not forget you though you may feel that way and people may be telling you so to your face; He will never leave behind when the time for your deliverance comes though it may seem too far off now: He will not stop to bless you when He comes to bless His children even when no one else is there to receive the blessing, you will be there; He will not fail to use you for His glory even when the demons from the pit of hell are waiting outside your doors for you to make a move as they did with Lot and his family; and He will not fail to promote you when the time comes for your promotion even when your promotion is past overdue.

It was by choice that Lot separated himself, all his family, all his servants and all his business from following Abraham who was then on a divine mission to fulfill the plans of God and to begin a new generation of people whom He later called Israel. After the separation, Lot suddenly realized that he was stuck in his mistake and choice; He found himself and his family in a city called Sodom and Gomorrah, there he had a house to dwell in, there he raised his children, there he gave some out in marriage, and there he continued in his business. But far beyond the best of his understanding, his initial vision, thoughts, and calculations, the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were not the right place he wanted to be. It was not the place he could avoid sin, but a place he will continuously be angry with what he saw and with what was going on in the entire society. He realized that the people were not the kind of people he wanted to be around with, though the cosmopolitan nature of the place was acceptable to his business; their daily practice was a continuous anger to his spirit and to his morals. But there was nothing he could do to leave the place and God did not send any message to him on that, but one thing was certain, he never gave himself to do what they were doing, his mind and thoughts were with God always; above all, Abraham was lifting him up before God always, and on that faithful day, God sent two of His angels to get him out. That same God is sending His angels to get you out also.

We have all made mistakes, we have all found ourselves in situations and locations we never expected to stay longer and in places we never knew what was going on there; Though we are stuck, the God who delivered Lot and his family from the affliction and anger Sodom and Gomorrah is still living and active and will deliver you and your children from the plague of the society. “And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, the Lord being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.” Genesis 19:16.
