Greatness with God 1

Hello Everyone,

Over the years I have learned one thing, most people want to be great, but very few will pay the price for greatness.

The same is true in our spiritual walk, most of us would love spiritual greatness, a DEEP walk with God, but very few are willing to pay the price that greatness demands.

Greatness with God

 Abraham became great with God, but there were four important steps in Abraham’s life before spiritual greatness took place. I want to look at these steps this week.

Genesis 12:1-3  Stepping out with God

1 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you.

 2 "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.
 3 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you."

When Abram, who became Abraham, met God, God made his first step a hard one.

God told Abram that he would have to step out with Him, leave his family behind, so that God could bless his life.

· Greatness with God many times demands a stepping out or a moving on. I have known so many MISSIONAARIES that their CALL brought with it the demand to move away from family, to fulfill their Divine Destiny.

It isn’t that you forsake or desert your family; it means there is a moving on so that God can make you dependent on Him and not them.

· This first step is leaving that which is familiar to head into the unknown.

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen.”  Hebrews 11:1

God doesn’t tell us the end, He doesn’t show us everything in our destiny, He just asks us to walk and live by faith.

Greater Things Are Still To Come!
