IT IS TIME TO MOVE



“The Lord our God spoke to us in Horeb saying, You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. Turn and take your journey and go to the mountains of the Amorites to all the neighbouring places in the plain in the mountain and in the low land, in the south and in the seacoast to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon as far as the great river Euphrates. See I have set the land before you, go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to your fathers- to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob- to give to them and their descendants after them” (Deut. 1:6-8).
Your moment to move forward is come. God is not bound by time but live in timeless history. It works a timetable for man.
To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven. God spoke to the children of Israel, you are behind time, you ought to have moved from here to the next level. There is a time that stagnation, routine and failure become unacceptable. God promised them possession of the land not just gazing or sight seeing, not to be at the border but to enter and take full possession. There is a vision of God waiting for actualization, the very best you need to get into and take hold of. By all parameters, you are not yet at your best.
What can stop a man to move?
a) Complacency--- It is time to move, to shine, to manifest. God has equipped you with all that it will take you to overthrow, destroy the heathen, obstacles or mountains and they do not move until you take a move. Miracles happen only when you take a step of faith (action). Which mountain have you been occupying these past 2 or 5 or 10 years? No more room for laziness or idleness, break camp from mediocrity, wishful thinking, stagnation. Do your work with all your might and with a great sense of devotion.
b) Not willing to suffer the pain of discipline. Be willing and ready to suffer the pain of discipline. Life is stagnant until you take action. Fight your giant to get your honey, challenge all your challenges.
Where you are too small, you can expand and enlarge (II Kings 6:1-7). In the real sense, there is no stagnancy in life it is either you are progressing or regressing, so go through the necessary discipline to make progress.
c) Demonic chains or fetters--- There are invisible forces of darkness that can keep a man from making progress I life. Arise, shake off every chain and fetters tied round your destiny, call upon the God that answers by fire to release His Holy Spirit, anointing and fire upon you to consume every satanic yoke and bondage.
You must desire to move in this season because already heaven is on the move on your behalf; get on the cloud of glory that is already on the move. God is no longer giving peanuts, launch out to the deep. Discover what heaven has in stock for you and aggressively pursue it.
What to do to Move
Movement is a matter of choice, Joshua 24:15; Deut. 11:26-29. God has set before you life and death, good and evil. You can choose but He advises that you choose life so that you can live.
1) Hard work is necessary for forward movement (Prov. 22:25).
Giving connects you to the covenants but hard work connects you to the blessing. God will bless the work of your hand. In all labour there is profit, but idle chatters lead only to poverty. All hard work brings profit. God is on the move to bless your work or ministry.
2) God’s presence- No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you (Josh. 1:5). God is not a task master. He is an able support and helper. He has promised that this year all those that are committed and devoted to Him in holiness and service, the wind of His Holy Spirit will be behind them to move them forward. I believe you are one of those that will ride on the wing of the Holy Spirit this year.
It is time to move but you must move with His presence. Look for God not for the crowd in 2008 and he will take you to that place of rich fulfillment, His desired haven for you.
As you read, do introduce this blogspot to at least 7 people and the Lord will give you super abundant blessings.
Shalom,
