AVOID STAGNATION < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Genesis 11:31, 12:1-9

The land that God called Abraham to go was the original destination of Terah, the father of Abraham. Genesis 11:31-32, ÒAnd Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son AbramÕs wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there. 32 So the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Haran.Ó The same land of Canaan was the one that God eventually called Abraham to go. One would always wonder what is it that has caused Terah to start a journey and not get to the end of his journey. Could it have been that the comfort in Haran got Terah stagnated? Terah lived for two hundred and fifty years. With so many years on his side, he must have had enough wake-up calls to get him on track towards his original destination, but comfort (convenience) must have held him hostage in Haran. It was in the same Haran that God called Abraham to go out from to the land of Canaan. Whenever there is a move from bondage into the journey of promise or salvation, there is a clear indication that multitude or comfort (convenience) is bound to cause distraction or denial from getting to the expected end. When Abraham was called, he was not to take with himself the entire multitude that Terah took with himself. God instructed Abraham to get out of his country, family and from his fatherÕs house (Genesis 12:1). Have you entered into a journey where stagnation is beginning to show its face by way of convenience or multitude at your stop over? Do not let your stop over overtake your final destination. Ask God to enable you in getting to your expected end in the journey that you have embarked on. God is a faithful God and He will see you through if you are willing to go through.
