FAITH CAPSULE: <\/b>Deny stopover in your journey; allow God to take over.<\/p>\n
Genesis 11:31, 12:1-9<\/b><\/p>\n
The book of Genesis 11:31-32 <\/i><\/b>recorded, \u201cAnd Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram\u2019s wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there. So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.\u201d<\/i><\/b> Abraham\u2019s father Terah left for Canaan land ever before God called Abraham to go to Canaan. Terah started his journey to Canaan without plan to dwell in Haran but ended up dwelling in Haran and not get to Canaan. One would always wonder what is it that has caused Terah to start a journey and not get to the end of his journey. Could it have been that the comfort in Haran got Terah stagnated? Have you engaged any journey or uncompleted assignment? It is time to begin to pay attention to God for direction which will see you through to the center of God\u2019s divine agenda for your life.<\/p>\n
Terah lived for two hundred and fifty years. With so many years on his side he could not get through to his original destination. The reason for Terah\u2019s stagnation was not recorded. However, every new journey demands a separation from the old. To start a journey and not complete is an incomplete encounter. It was the same Haran that God called Abraham out to go.<\/p>\n
Whenever there is a move or a start of a new journey there is a clear indication that multitude is bound to cause distraction or denial from getting to the expected end. When God called Abraham to Canaan, it was with clear direction which was not in place for Terah his father. God instructed Abraham, \u201c<\/i><\/b>Now the LORD had said to Abram:\u00a0\u201cGet out of your country, From your family And from your father\u2019s house, To a land that I will show you. \u00a0I will make you a great nation; I will bless you And make your name great; And you shall be a blessing. \u00a0I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.\u201d <\/i><\/b>(Genesis 12:1-3<\/i><\/b>) Abraham engaged his journey with God\u2019s instruction. Have you engaged any journey or assignment where stagnation is beginning to manifest? Engaging God for direction is a disengagement from incomplete journey.<\/p>\n
A journey without God\u2019s direction will experience stopover like that of Terah. Deny stopover in your journey by allowing God\u2019s direction to take over. Abraham did not dwell in stopover because God took over for the start of his journey. God is a faithful God and He will see you through if you are willing to go through.<\/p>\n
Prayer for today:<\/b> Ask God to enable you in getting to your expected end in the journey that you have embarked on.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
