Hebrews 11:8-10: It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. 9 And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise. 10 Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God
Pictured is the LIGHT of the LORD breaking through the African Skies as we completed walking into, dwelling amongst, and praising GOD with the people of the Tsilitza Village. I have marked the road we traveled by calling it the "Hard Walk" because the terrain was unforgiving and the sights seemed to rip the roots of consumerism (the desire to get, gather, and gain MORE) from my soulish fabric. No matter what planning you can do, going to a place like Africa....you will always be blown far away by the sights, smells, and experience of the LOVE of GOD in such a place. Abraham didn't know what it would be like to go, where GOD had commanded him to. As a matter of fact he didn't even know WHERE that was. And honestly based on the 10 verse I don't think it mattered because he knew 1) GOD SAID IT, 2) GOD wouldn't leave him, 3) and no matter what his final destination he was sure of....the CITY WITH ETERNAL FOUNDATIONS built 100% by GOD. Can you say the same regarding GOD's movements in your life? I never dated my wife. We met in December, I proposed after our February and begun planning a wedding that occured in May, BY FAITH! I was ministering at The Temple Non-Denominational Church over 10years, GOD told us our work was done....and directed us to Calvary (more than 15miles from my home) and We have been ever since...and have a beautiful family that HE provided...BY FAITH.
WHAT WILL BE SAID about your life.......will your biggest decisions be marked BY FAITH, or because you called all the shots? MAKE A DECISION to LIVE LIFE AT WORK, AT HOME, and IN COMMUNITY BY FAITH!
