FAITH CAPSULE: Separation to God is the avenue which leads to assessing and possessing all that God has in place.

Genesis 32

Worshiping God is separation unto God and it is an evidence of believing God. To be separated unto God is to find Him. Seeing God is impossible where one is surrounded by the filth of this wicked world. Seeking (worshiping) God demands all of our being and those that are able to seek Him diligently shall be rewarded because He is a re warder of those who seek Him diligently. (Hebrews 11:6) Separation unto His command is always a high order of worship whenever man obediently becomes separated. Abraham separated as commanded by God when he answered to God’s calling to depart his country, his family and his father’s house to a land unknown to him. (Genesis 12:1-2) Every separation to God counts before God and commits God to count on one for uncommon or special assignment. Abraham’s separation to the word of God was accounted to him for righteousness because it was evidence that he believed God. (Romans 4:3)
Separation to God is the avenue which leads to assessing and possessing all that God has in place for any that is able to obediently separate to Him. Like Abraham, for Jacob to encounter and enter into his divine assignment there was a need for separation from all which he possessed. It is written, “And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.  He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.” Genesis 32:22-24) Until Jacob was completely separated from all, God could not engage him on his ground for name changing which channeled him to the center of God’s divine assignment for his life. Elisha needed to be separated from all and follow Elijah fully before he could be impacted with the spirit that flowed in Elijah. After Elisha’s encounter with the mantle of Elijah, he left all but wanted to hold on to his father and mother when he was sent back by Elijah. (1 Kings 19:19-20) Elijah realized the need for complete separation in the life of Elisha when he sent him back. As a result, “Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant. (1 Kings 19:21) Elisha engaged worship when he became separated from all and set himself for his divine assignment, following Elijah fully.
