The Promise land was God’s, and He was giving it to His People. So I (God) have come down to rescue them from the hand of the
Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the
home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.- Exodus 3:8 They had God’s word on it, and now they had
to go and claim ownership over it. The same is true in our lives. It’s not in
the obtaining of God’s promises; it’s the occupying. The Lord’s Word is
absolute. I love this visual: Jesus said,
“It is finished”, and He sat down. Why? Because He had done His part – now
it was up to us.
Remember Jesus said the
harvest was plentiful, but the workers were few. Harvest is the result of
something you do. God gives us people to share the Gospel with. It is part of
your inheritance from your Father. That part has nothing to do with your action
but with your identity. Do not become confused. The Lord has given us all we
need. What have we done with it?
Before God’s people went into
the Promise Land they were all blessed and given a task. We cannot enter into
the land until all of us are doing our jobs. It’s that “body of Christ” thing –
all working together… Amen?
