FAITH CAPSULE: One who answers the calling will experience the help of God.

Genesis 12

When God sends one, He will back one up. 
To get going in the life journey, answering the calling of God demands to arise from your comfort zone and get into the avenue of commitment. Coming out of your comfort zone can be painful, but the end of it is always gainful. 
Rising and answering to the calling of God is rooted in obedience to the glory of God.
Without a warning signal as to how answering to the calling of God will become, one who answers will experience challenges.
God called Abram out of his comfort zone from among family that he knows and understands well. 
God called Abraham out of his country.
Genesis 12:1 records, “Now the LORD had said to Abram; ‘Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house to a land I will show you. I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.’” 
For Abram to access the blessings of God, he must accept the calling that moved him from his comfort zone.
Obedience, not partial to the direction of God, will get one to arrive at the promise of God.
Moses disobeyed the direction of God and could not step on the Promised Land.
For Joshua to lead the children of Israel and to step on the Promised Land, he obeyed to rise and cross the Jordan. 
Joshua 1:2, “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all these people, to the land which I am giving to them children of Israel.” 
Whatever God promised is a done deal.
Anyone who refuses to answer the calling of God is the evidence of not coming out of their comfort zone.
Anyone who refuses is not going to assess the blessing of obedience.
There was a need for Abram to get out before entering into the promise of God, the experience to assess the blessings of God. 
Similarly, there was a need for Joshua to arise and go for the manifestation of the promise of God.
What ties and grounds you from arising and getting into His calling for your life? 
God has a plan and purpose for all His creation.
When God sends one, He will back one.
Before Joshua answered the calling, God had already completed the mission on behalf of Joshua. 
Joshua 1:3, “Every place that the sole of your feet will tread upon I have given you as I said to Moses.” 
What else do you need before you can answer His call? 
If He has called you, get out, arise, and go. 
1 Thessalonians 5:24 assures all, “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.” 
One who answers the calling will experience the help of God.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to hear and answer to see and move in response to all His calling.
