The called

Hi friends,

It is another day today as we move closer home and we cannot but remind ourselves of the key issue in this great call with which the Lord of this journey has called us.

He has not called us to shame, ridicule, hardship or failure even though there could times of momentary wilderness experiences as he deems fit!

Little wonder the Bible tells us He will not allow His holy one to see corruption.

But He places a demand on us which is mandatory of every Heaven minded Christian which until it is obeyed to the latter the pilgrim stands the risk of not actualizing God’s absolute blessings and benefits in this pilgrimage.

The demand heaven placed on the believer is that of leaving the world and its value to cleave onto Him and Him alone. Before Abraham could really be called the blessed of the Lord, He had to leave the gods of the Chaldean's, his country and father’s house to cleave to the God of Israel.

In Genesis 12:1-3 NKJV I quote

        Now the Lord had said to Abram:

                 Get out of your country,

                 From your family

                 And from your father's house,

     To a land that I will show you.

                 I will make you a great nation;

                 I will bless you

                 And make your name great;

                 And you shall be a blessing.

                 I 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.

Little wonder in instituting marriage, God said therefore shall a man leave his father and mother to cleave to his wife. Where there is no leaving there cannot be cleaving. That explains why the Christian race his likened to a marriage relationship!

When a man does not leave his country, his family and his father’s house, he his emotionally attached, spiritually attached even though he might not be physically or attached.

Too many times spiritually the values, traditions and even the gods to which the family is attached might not allow the Christian fulfill his purpose or have an enduring Christian walk with God where the individual does not come out.

Fellow Christians and pilgrim, it is high time we come out so we can have a fulfilling and enduring walk with Christ to enable us could have a safe landing on the  shores of our eternal abode.

Pray and ask God for this grace to be separated for the Lord indeed so He can put His seal of son ship on you for a life of fulfillment here and in the hereafter.

God bless you beloved friends and yoke bearers.

Your friend and fellow Pilgrim in the Kingdom Race,
