Get out of your comfort zone...!

Genesis 12:1-4 NKJV

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.” So Abram departed as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

† Shalom †......! Day #205. Do you know that unless you get out of your comfort zone, you will not see the blessings and promises of God? Let us pray. Father, we come before You today. Take us out of our comfort zone so that we would fulfill the calling in our lives. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Friends, God made choice of Abram, and singled him out from among his fellow-idolaters, that he might reserve a people for himself, among whom his true worship might be maintained till the coming of Christ. From henceforward Abram and his seed are almost the only subject of the history in the Bible. Abram was tried whether he loved God better than all, and whether he could willingly leave all to go with God. His kindred and his father's house were a constant temptation to him, he could not continue among them without danger of being infected by them. Those who leave their sins, and turn to God, will be unspeakable gainers by the change. The command God gave to Abram, is much the same with the gospel call, for natural affection must give way to Divine grace. Sin, and all the occasions of it, must be forsaken; particularly bad company. Here are many great and precious promises. All God's precepts are attended with promises to the obedient.

1. I will make of you a great nation.
When God took Abram from his own people, he promised to make him the head of another people.

2. I will bless you.
Obedient believers shall be sure to inherit the blessing.

3. I will make your name great.
The name of obedient believers shall certainly be made great.

4. You shall be a blessing.
Good men are the blessings of their country.

5. I will bless them that bless you, and curse him that cursed you.
God will take care that none are losers, by any service done for his people.

6. In you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Jesus Christ is the great blessing of the world, the greatest that ever the world possessed. All the true blessedness the world is now, or ever shall be possessed of, is owing to Abram and his posterity. Through them we have a Bible, a Saviour, and a gospel. They are the stock on which the Christian church is grafted.

Abram received this blessings because he made the choice to get out of his comfort zone and do the things he did not thought of. Another thig is that he was obedient when God told him to leave his family and go to a foreign land. He obeyed.  What about us today? Is God asking us to get out and get rid of our comfort zone? Are we being obedient to the call? Let us take some time to ponder upon this. God bless you.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
