Daily walking in Obedience and faith to God's calling!
God said to Abram, get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and from thy father's house (traditional way of life, thinking, believes, your familiar zone) unto a land that I will show you ( a totally strange and new way of life, into the un-familiar).
Relating God's directives to Abram to our individual lives, when God calls us through the gift of salvation, He sometimes will not tell us exactly where (our respective destinies in His Kingdom business here on earth) He is taking us to from the unset.
We don't always have an incline of what works HE has purposed to do here on earth through our lives. This can be most frustrating especially when we don't know the exact destination we are headed or what the entire journey entails. On the other hand, this journey requires that we be most attentive and in tune with God so as to know when HE says "tarry here, or it's time to pack up and continue or THIS IS THE PLACE, YOUR DESTINY".
Now, taking this journey does not mean we won't encounter challenges like: supposed delays at various stages of life, hostility, afflictions, betrayals and denials from loved ones, state of disparity and fear, the demons we fight in our lives as a result of all the baggage we carried along from our father's house like Abram in Gen.: 12 vs 5, and may wonder if God is really in this with us, but it is an act of faith and obedience which also carries promises of blessings along..."And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shall be a blessing".
We have to act in faith like Abram, get up and move in the direction He leads us through the holy spirit day by day, knowing that like He promised and delivered to Abraham, the destiny He has for us can only be flowing with milk and honey. "For I know my thoughts towards you says the Lord, thoughts of good and not of evil, and to bring you to an expected end".
All we have to do is just wake up daily, hand the wheel over to HIM and He will take care of the rest. The journey itself is a process that prepares us for our destiny in Christ.
Remain Blessed.
