IF YOU EMBRACE…

If you embrace what God called you to go thru, then He will fence you from what you need not go thru.

God desires to orchestrate your life. When He orchestrates our life, it becomes enjoyable. Jesus died on the cross so that our life will be under God’s reign and not under the power of darkness. When we surrender our life to God, He initiates a process specifically for us so that we will be restored, refined and re-defined to inherit the abundant life here on the earth. When we don’t embrace this process, then we miss the fun.

The people of Israel started from Egypt to inherit Canaan. God’s process was that they will quickly understand God’s heart, believe Him and inherit the land flowing with milk and honey. Israelites missed to get this and didn’t embrace God’s process. This ended up taking 40 years with 42 stops before reaching the destination. There were many times they disobeyed, rebelled and were stubborn. This made them go thru what they need not go thru. We do the same thing and go thru lot of things which we need not go thru because we didn’t embrace God’s process. Now how do we embrace this process.

• DESIRE – Desire is an attitude of the heart. It is born out of love. We have to love God and have a constant relationship with Him. This will birth a desire which will enable us to embrace what God called us to go thru.
• DECIDE – Decision rests in the mind of a person. Once desire is accomplished, the devil will use the your mind to kill that desire in your heart. Stop listening to all the voices of the devil and of the world. This will keep your decision firm.
• DEDICATE – Dedication is an action. Do your part. Spend time with God, read His Word, talk to Him, hear Him speak etc. Being committed to the relationship will certainly enable you to embrace the process.
• DEPEND – Dependence is the key to stay in course. When we focus more on our part we would lose our strength in sometime. Be dependent on Christ to do anything. This will keep you going at all times to embrace God’s way of life.

Apostle Paul practiced all the four attitudes which enabled him to embrace what God called him to go thru and positioned him to avoid all that he need not go thru.

Thought: God has a specific process designed for you to go thru. When you understand this and embrace it, you will be protected and your life will impact the world. 

Prayer: Father, Thank you for giving me a specific process to go thru and also protecting me. I embrace it now with my words. Enable me to embrace it with my actions. In Jesus name. Amen.
