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…
What
is God calling you to do?
