Vision For Expansion

Vision For Expansion

By Apostle Felix

14  And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:
15  For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 

Genesis 13: 14, 15

Abraham was a nomad, a man who moved from place to place without a permanent abode. Born and raised in Ur of the Chaldees, his journey began when his father, Terah, relocated the family out of Ur with the intention of entering the land of Canaan. However, it was from their intermediate stopping point that the Lord explicitly spoke to Abraham, commanding him to leave his kindred, his homeland, and everything familiar behind to journey toward an unknown land that God would eventually reveal to him. Heeding this divine instruction required immense courage and boldness, as it meant abandoning the safety, comfort, and security of his father’s house. Yet, Abraham understood a profound truth: as long as he remained confined to the safety of his father’s tents, he would never experience the supernatural expansion the Lord had destined for him.

1  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 

Genesis 12: 1, 2
