And he brought him outside and said, \u201cLook toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.\u201d Then he said to him, \u201cSo shall your offspring be.\u201d<\/i><\/b>
<\/i><\/b>Genesis 15:5 (ESV)<\/i><\/p>\n
The life of Abraham inspires us all. It shows us how the faith of a simple man can make a tremendous difference. When I talk to people, I often notice they need a clearer vision of what the Lord wants to do. Some think God can\u2019t use them, while others believe they will only accomplish small things no matter how hard they try.<\/p>\n
But Abraham\u2019s life inspires us, and in this blog, we\u2019ll learn a few lessons that will help us believe in what God wants to do in our lives.<\/p>\n
1. God Does Not Look at Our Past<\/b><\/p>\n
Abraham did not come from a God-fearing family or an upright culture, yet the Lord still called him. Many people think their past mistakes disqualify them from doing God\u2019s work. However, the only thing the Lord requires is a willing heart. I believe God wants to use many people. Stop looking at your past and fix your eyes on Jesus and what He can do in your life.<\/p>\n
2. Obedience Is the First Step<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cNow the Lord said to Abram, \u2018Go from your country and your kindred and your father\u2019s house to the land that I will show you.\u2019\u201d<\/b>
<\/b>Genesis 12:1 (ESV)<\/i><\/p>\n
The first step toward God\u2019s promise is obedience. The Lord desires to bless us in all things, but often, we cling to our circumstances or prefer the illusions this world offers rather than walking with Him.<\/p>\n
I know the Lord has spoken to many, just as He did with Abraham, to leave places, cut ties, and move away from old ways of living. Remember, obedience comes with a promise. If you obey, a land is already prepared for you.<\/p>\n
3. Understand That the Promise Is Also for You<\/b><\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.\u201d<\/b>
<\/b>Genesis 12:2 (ESV)<\/i><\/p>\n
A promise from God changes everything. Abraham was just a man, but the Lord called him, blessed him, and multiplied him. God raised him to be the father of faith, and his legacy blesses many even today. All of this happened because of the power of a promise.<\/p>\n
I encourage you to remember the promise God has given you and make it your own! Your life is not insignificant because God\u2019s promise is for you. Don\u2019t walk as though you have nothing because a promise is everything.<\/p>\n
Hold on, declare it daily, and align your life to move toward it.<\/p>\n
A Special Invitation<\/b><\/p>\n
We are on the brink of our International Conference, \u201cThe Legacy 2025,\u201d<\/b> and we greatly expect what the Lord will do. We believe this will be a time of awakening for new leaders who will carry the torch of the Gospel to every corner of the world.<\/p>\n
I invite you to attend this conference and prepare to embrace and follow God’s promise for your life.<\/p>\n
