MOVING ON

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 show thee.  Genesis 12:1

There are some heights and places in life you may never reach until you go out. There are altitudes you may never reach until you leave your comfort zone. Without proper care, your comfort zone may become your contentment zone, and your contentment zone may ultimately become your compression zone. That’s why Amos 6:1 says, “Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!”
Whenever God wants to move individual or a group of people forward, He remembers such, and, then sends His word to such. You’ll see across the pages of the scriptures, “then the word of the Lord came unto…”. When God remembered Hannah, He sent His word through Prophet Eli;  when He remembered Sarah, He came to deliver the word Himself in the similitude of an angel; When He remembered the Isrealites in captivity, He sent His word to Moses at the back side of the desert.  When God remembers an individual, He sends His word. You’ve been remembered by God, hence, He sent this word you are reading to you now.  
Abram had to come out of his own country, that he may enter into the promised land. “If you don’t come out, you cannot come in”.  You cannot be doing the same thing overtime and expect to get the same result; someone said that’s the definition of insanity. Like begat like.
As the Lord remembers an individual, He begins to work on that person, so that he/she can reason in God’s perspective. God begins working on the senses of the individual. He works on the senses of sight, hear, smell, skin, and taste respectively. It was as a result of God working on Abram’s ear, that he heard, “get thee out of thy country…”.
Abram set on a journey to “the land I will show you”. How could he have recognized where he was going – nowhere? Because his eyes had been worked on.  God had to change Abram’s perception, so that he’ll know that His(God’s) plan for him transcend what human eyes can see. No wonder after the eventful separation from Lot, God said to him, Look from where you are, I’ll give it to you. On another occasion, God asked him to look at the sky and count the stars. He promised to make his descendants as countless as the stars and immeasurable as sands by the seashore.          
The Lord is ever ready to move you forward. Be sure that He's word will reach you and be ready to have him work on you thoroughly; it's all for your good.

JOURNEY TO GREATER HEIGHTS

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth. Deut. 28:1 There is an height beyond where you are now. No matter how high you have gone, there is still a greater height. Therefore, let your slogan be, “higher everyday”. This is why Jesus keeps calling men upward. He calls from sin to salvation, from salvation to consecration, consecration to Holy Ghost baptism, from HolyGhost baptism to manifesting to manifesting the fruits of the Spirit, and so on, and so forth. Jesus said in John 12:32, “If I be lifted from above the earth, I will draw all men unto myself”. According to the bible text, the individual willing to embark on the journey to greater height must, hearken diligently, and observe to do all instructions rolled out to him or her. Prayers is one of the conditions which anyone prep...

DIVINE PROJECT

Being confident of this, that He who has begun a good work in you, is able to perfect them till the day of the Lord Jesus. (paraphrased) Phil 1:6 Life does not give you what you desire, but what you demand for. This is why most times, it's not the first time that you apply for a visa,job that you were given; it's not the first time that you wrote that exam that you passed. Life answers to the persistent. If you're persistent in your asking, particularly from the right source, you'll be consistent in receiving. Make this declaration boldly, "I AM A DIVINE PROJECT, I WILL NOT BE ABANDONED. In life, nothing starts as a completed task. Project means  to make something new or improve something. It means to make manifest something. However, not all projects eventually becomes what it was intended to be. A divine project is a life or destiny that God wants to use to make a statement to the world. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God...
