GETTING RID OF WHAT CANNOT FOLLOW YOUR FUTURE

Title: GETTING RID OF WHAT CANNOT FOLLOW YOUR FUTURE

Psalm 18:29, Genesis 41:1

For by thee I have run through a troop, and by my God have I leaped over a wall. Your future has walls, not just doors. Many people get very close to the season they have been praying for and then discover they are not ready to scale the wall that stands at the edge of their next level. The problem is not that God did not plan a great future, it is that they refused the preparations and disciplines that would have given them the right starting point and momentum. David did not meet Goliath by chance. He had already faced a lion and a bear in the secret place. Those earlier challenges were the programmes of his future. The same Goliath that dethroned Saul was the one that announced David. What you are running away from now may be what God intends to use to train you for the future you are asking for.Your flesh hates the journey into the future. It prefers comfort, shortcuts and imitation. I want to challenge you to become uncomfortable with the things that are keeping you small and begin to press into the full manifestation of your divine purpose. Without a clear programme for your future you will carry things from your present that will sabotage you later. Men say someone fell from grace to grass, but what usually happens is that the grass of wrong habits and secret sins followed them up the ladder and pulled them down at a critical moment. Esau traded his birthright in a moment of hunger because he could not delay gratification. He thought only of his stomach and despised his future. Joseph, when Pharaoh sent for him, shaved himself and changed his clothes before he appeared in the palace. He understood that certain appearances and behaviours belonged to the prison, not to the throne. You must identify the behaviours in your life now that do not belong in your future.God loves you too much to leave you unprepared. He will send men from your future to you, people who understand the rules and philosophies of where you are going. They will talk to you about punctuality, purity, diligence, excellence and sacrifice. Their words may sting your flesh, but they are saving your destiny. You may meet them as pastors, teachers, bosses, books or messages that will not leave your spirit alone. Do not despise them or look for softer voices that will pamper your laziness. At the same time you must commit to go fully through the programmes of your future. You cannot attend a one month Bible school and expect to pastor men for destiny. You cannot pray casually and expect to stand before Goliaths. Personal commitment is required to bear much fruit. God wants you spiritually strong and also sound in character, finances and responsibility. Let this year be the year you allow God to shave off what does not belong to your palace and embrace every training that will make you ready for your own day of manifestation.THOUGHT TO PONDER: What habits, attitudes or relationships in your present season clearly do not belong in the future God has shown you? Which trainings, corrections and disciplines have you been resisting that you now need to embrace so that you can arrive at your future ready and not disqualified?

Prayer: Lord, open my eyes to what cannot follow me into my future and give me grace to drop it and submit to every training that prepares me for full manifestation. Amen.
