2015: A Year Of Marching Out (2)
There are numerous instances where the people of God accessed divine assistance, victory and success through
movement but we may just briefly pick one or two here. Let's go:
Abraham
Look at Abraham; the father of our faith. When God decided to pick, bless and use him, he was asked to march out from where he was to the place God wanted him to be. Yes, God had the power to bless him right there in his country, but decided that he moves. And it was when Abraham obeyed and began to move that everything in his life also began to fall into place.
God bless him richly, gave him children, and gave him wonderful generational promises and long life. But, what if he had refused to obey that particular instruction to move, would he had received all these things? No! Truly, it was a divine movement for divine positioning!
The instruction:
"Then the LORD told Abram, 'Leave your country, your relatives, and your father's house and go to the land that I
will show you. I will cause you to become the father of a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and I
will make you a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you.'
So Abram departed as the LORD had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran." Genesis 12:1-4.
Thank God, at that old age of seventy-five, that this man agreed with God and marched out otherwise those wonderful
words would have remained at the realm of promises forever.
Now, it was his marching out that automatically activated all those wonderful promises that God gave to him. You must march out now to activate those divine promises in you life.
Yes, now! Israelites at Passover Night
God had reaffirmed His wonderful covenant promises to Moses at the Mount Sinai encounter - to bring Israelites out of Egypt and lead them into a Promised Land flowing with milk and honey. A deal had been struck by the two. Moses had finally agreed to go on the mission and God promised to protect him and fulfill His words. Great! But what if the
children of Israel had refused to leave? What would have happened? Sure, a movement was needed to finally achieve that vision. The bible said that:
"That night the people of Israel left Rameses and started for Succoth. There were about 600,000 men, plus all the
women and children. And they were all traveling on foot...
Leaving Succoth, they camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness. The LORD guided them by a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire at night. That way they could travel whether it was day or night. And the LORD did not remove the pillar of cloud or the pillar of fire from their sight."
Exodus 12:37, 13:20-22:
Jesus Christ! Did you read that? Movements! Lots of it -
'left, started, traveling, camped, guided, travel'. They moved as God directed them. And as they began to move, the
forces of heaven began to move also. Divine align and realignment! When you move, God moves.
When you move in obedience to divine instructions, the angelic beings are released to join you day and night to see that you are protected and that the divine mission is achieved. True.
Moses and the Israelites marched out and God with His glorious presence march out with them. As you march out
after reading this message, the God of Israel will march out with you in the name of Jesus!
