“Deliver thyself, O Zion, ye that dwellest with the
daughter of Babylon. For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After
the glory hath He sent me unto the nations which despoiled you, for he that
toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye.” – Zechariah 2:7-8
Abraham was
staying with his family people and one day the Lord said to him to leave his
country, his family and his father’s house to the land which God has planned
for him. Then God said to him that He will bless him and make his name great. Genesis 12:4 beautifully says, “So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken
to him...”
Abraham obeyed to
God’s word in faith and he left his relatives and went to the place where God
asked him to go. As God promised Abraham, He made him great. If we read the
further chapters of Bible, at certain moments we can see that the Lord
addressed himself as Lord of Abraham. The Lord was pleased with Abraham because
he obeyed God.
There were times
in our life when we fail to receive any blessings at all, we get depressed. We
blame God at times and say He is not hearing our prayers and tears. But we fail
to analyze whether we are in the right place where God wants us to be. We might
be living in a place from where God wants us to move and we might be living in
sin which God hates.
Today God wants
us to do a self check in His presence. We have to understand and know for sure
whether we are exactly in the place where God wants us to be. If you have to
receive God’s blessing you have to be in God’s will.
I came across a
person who once worked in a MNC company. He was a well experienced person and
He always wanted to do God’s will in his life. One fine day he got a call from
his friend asking him to join as a CEO of another MNC company and at the same
time he got an offer to join as a chief engineer in another organisation. He
knew that being a CEO of an MNC company will make his life settled and he can
earn more than the other offer he got. So he decided to join as CEO. But the
day before his joining date, God interfered and ask him to leave that offer.
He obeyed and
joined as chief engineer with a less salary compared to what he might have got
being a CEO. But yet today he was blessed in his professional life and also he
is doing God’s ministry as he could able to find free time in this job. He
obeyed God and so God blessed him and He is blessing other people through him.
My dear young
friends, come out of the place which God asks you to come out. Leave the sins
which God asks you to leave. Obey God in everything. Deliver yourself from all
things that God dislikes. He will make your name great and you will be blessed
by God in a glorious way.
