THE CALLING OF GOD

FAITH CAPSULE: Is your move in response to the calling of God? 

Genesis 31

Whenever God calls one for His assignment, no curse can deny one. When God moves the called one, no man can remove such. 
When God delivers, no man can deny you. 
Regardless of any situation, when God says go, no challenge under heaven can stop the called one.
After Jacob cheated Esau with his blessing, Isaac sent him away because of the threat of Esau. “So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.” (Genesis 28:5) 
At Laban, Jacob married two of the daughter of Laban. 
Despite having two daughters (Rachel and Leah) as his wives and having made all his wealth from working for Laban, Jacob did not inform nor bid farewell to Laban the Syrian at the time of his move. 
The excuse of Jacob for such a move was the truth that he heard from God that he should return to the land of his family. 
Genesis 31:3 records, “Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you.” 
God called for the return of Jacob then the relationship between Jacob and Laban was no longer favorable. 
After Jacob had left, Laban went after him with bad intentions because Rachel stole the household idol. 
With the intentions of Laban, God appeared to him in a dream and cautioned him to be careful in his dealing with Jacob. 
As a result, when he caught up with Jacob, he stated, “It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.’”(Genesis 31:29) 
Whenever God commands your going or your return, there will be no power under heaven to deny answering the calling of God.
Also, there will be no power capable of hurting one in the journey the Lord has placed in the life of such. It was God that called Jacob to return, and Laban is not in a position to operate against the command of God. 
One not in the position, such will be powerless in operation.
Concerning Jacob, Laban was powerless. 
Did God call you out?
Is your move in response to the calling of God? 
Do not move on to your understanding. 
However, pay attention to the words of God.
Proverbs 3:4-6 encourages, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.” 
God is not a man that He should falter in His word. 
What God says He will do is a done deal. 

Prayer for today: Ask God in your going and coming that no agent of the wicked shall prevail against you.
