Acts 7:3 “…Get out of your country and from your relatives, and come to a land that I will show you.” [NKJV]
Did you know that this verse was a conversation that happened between God and Abraham? Abraham was instructed by God, to WALK BY FAITH, leave behind everything that was familiar and comfortable to him as well as everything he understood at that time.
God told Abraham he needed to get out of his country and away from his current associations! Every weight that could possibly hold Abraham back – needed to be gone. God told Abraham to leave only two things but until he did this he could not move forward into his promise. As Abraham OBEYED he became free to receive what God had for him in his future.
The truth is that it is exactly the same in our faith walk today. Often everything we rely on, everything we find familiar and comfortable, must be surrendered before we can ENTER the personal promise of God for our lives.
This is where faith fits in… we must rely wholly on Him and not on our familiar and comfortable habits, people and places. Whatever we have to leave will ultimately become insignificant in comparison to what God supplies to us in our future.
IT’S TIME TO MAKE A CHOICE! Simply ask God right now to show you if there are things He wants you to surrender so you can enter into His promise… its worth it!
