Watch Out!

For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy
name's sake lead me, and guide me. (Psalm 31:3)

My friend, did you know that places matter? God made places before He made people. Therefore, where you are is almost as important as what you are. Where you are determines what grows within you. Your weaknesses or your strengths require a climate to grow. God spoke to Moses saying, "You have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward" (Deuteronomy 2:3).

Jesus knew that wherever he was going mattered. "And he must needs go through Samaria" (John 4:4). He could have added, "Because there is a woman there who needs Me, who will reach the entire city!" Read John 4:1-42 carefully. Jesus knew that one person was in need of Him that very day.

What environment are you benefiting from?

My friend, Jonah was instructed to go to Nineveh. He rebelled. The whole world has since read his story of ending up in the belly of a giant fish. Five hundred were instructed by Jesus to go to the Upper Room. Only 120 obeyed. Only 120 got the promised blessing. You cannot work on the wrong job, for the wrong boss, doing the wrong things for 40 hours a week and wonder why two hours per week in church does not change your life! Geography plays a major part in every success story.

Who’s advice are you taking heed of?

Yes, it’s true. God will not bless you just anywhere you go. God will bless you, however, if you are willing to go anywhere in order to obey and please Him! Yes, it is true: where you are determines what grows within you - weeds or flowers, strengths or weaknesses. Here’s a sacred secret of life that you must discover: The only way to make a Prophet sent from the Lord trustworthy, is to trust him. This is your season to trust the path that God is creating for your life. This is your season to say, “I Believe the Prophet”, because the spirit of distrust is simply the tyranny’s disease in this season.

When you know where God wants you,
you can be certain that you are meeting your destiny!
