Motivation is Key

Written By Benjamin Dankaka

God is aware of your needs.

When God called Abraham, He said to him, “I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.” Although, Abraham had to leave his country, he was consoled by the promises that God made to him. Abraham must have been motivated with the fact that God had chosen him to be the father of many nations. Recall that this was a man who didn’t have a child of his own. All of a sudden, God showed up and said, “I will make your name great…”

As I noted yesterday, Abraham already had a lot of possessions when God called him. So wealth wasn’t really his problem. His real problem was legacy. For that reason, God assured Abraham that his walk with Him will not only lead to a fruitful land but would result to him becoming the father of many nations. So Abraham decided to follow God. By obeying God, all peoples on earth have been blessed. God is aware of your needs. If He is asking you to embark on a journey with Him, comply even if it means losing everything you currently have.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, use me to save lives. Amen.
