THE POWER OF SEPARATION

-

Genesis 1:6-7

Then God said, “Let there be a space between the waters, to separate the waters of the heavens from the waters of the earth.”

And that is what happened. God made this space to separate the waters of the earth from the waters of the heavens.


One reason why people don't forge ahead or are slow in progressing to accomplish their aim is not knowing how and when to separate. It affects all areas of life, be they secular or spiritual.


Genesis 1:9-10

Then God said, “Let the waters beneath the sky flow together into one place, so dry ground may appear.” And that is what happened.

God called the dry ground “land” and the waters “seas.” And God saw that it was good.


Many businesses have collapsed because their owners or managers have mixed up principal/capital with interests/profits, business with pleasure, stakeholders with busybodies/time-wasters. Some have invested in the wrong things or places. (Know your land and know you water! Selah)


Some have really gotten themselves tied up to the neck, because they do not know who their customers/clients are in relation to those who are merely passing by or mere intruders.


Abraham knew when to separate himself from Lot and his troublesome servants, scriptures even said he heard from God after that:


Genesis 13:9

The whole countryside is open to you. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.”


Then after this:


Genesis 13:14-16

After Lot had gone, the lord said to Abram, “Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west.

I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants as a permanent possession.

And I will give you so many descendants that, like the dust of the earth, they cannot be counted!


If all ministers understands who they are sent to, that they may concentrate major efforts there, they would not exhaust needed/limited energy chasing territories they have not been assigned to.


God displayed the power of separation. He knew where man was to be placed. He separated night from day, water above and those below and furthermore water below from dry land.


Christ Jesus ministered to the Jews, yes many gentiles enjoyed His ministry yet He didn't lose focus.


When He physically left He gave His disciples instructions to carry on the message to the gentiles, He specifically picked people like Paul to join the team.


What are you muddling up. Learn the power of separation from the creator Himself.


Show us clearly Dear Father.


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
