MOVE TO BE REMOVED
Genesis 12:1-9

To get to your Canaan Land, your Promised Land, there can be no avoidance of not getting out of your country. Your country is your familiar ground, your place of comfort, the ground where you think all that will make the difference in your life exists. In getting out or when the getting out time is up before the Lord, the Lord himself will move you even if you choose not to move. God will ordain a situation that will send you packing and moving. Abraham, when it was time for him to engage the journey of faith, “The LORD said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you.” (Genesis 12:1) There was no choice or suggestion for Abraham but there was a calling to move and put all behind him. Abraham received God’s command and he responded. To move Moses out of the palace, the greatest place to live in the land, there was no call that would have been meaningful to him but the condition he found himself moved him. Moses, in his attempt to fight for his Hebrew brother, ended up killing an Egyptian. Moses, an adopted prince, in his attempt to settle another feud between his Hebrew brothers received a response, “…Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” So Moses feared and said, ‘Surely this thing is known!’ 15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.” (Exodus 2:14-15) By virtue of uncontrollable, unforeseen circumstances are you in flight to your Promised Land but not know that you are? As a believer in the Word of God, understand and know this today, God is in every step that you take and He will correct and redirect when you refuse to move as He moves you. Most of the giants in the Bible moved and removed at a certain point in the calling of God. David, the man after God’s own heart, ordain by God to be the king, moved from plain to valley; valley to cave. David, during one of his moves, took a flight to the land of his people’s prime enemy and spent time there. “Now the time that David dwelt in the country of the Philistines was one full year and four months.” (1 Samuel 27:7) Getting out to get going can be the most challenging but there is no joy, blessing and transformation that is better than getting to where He is moving you. Be encouraged today; God is aware of every move. Until you are removed, you will not move to where He is taking you.
