TOPIC: SWIFT OBEDIENCE – A GUARANTEE OF SPEEDY LIFTING
SCRIPTURE: So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Genesis 12:4
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The challenge of our generation is laxity of action; the challenge of our generation is lackadaisical attitude.
A major character of the eagle is swift motion. This guarantees its high flight and existence at the top. The eagle is at the top ahead of other birds.
Similarly, in Scriptures, men and women who were high flyers were given to urgency of action. When duty called, they moved and acted urgently.
Now, one example of such persons was Abraham.
When God called him in Genesis Chapter 12, to leave his country, his kindred and father’s house, to a land unknown to him, he moved swiftly.
Genesis 12:4 says,
So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; …
God spoke to him in verse 3, and in verse 4, he obeyed God.
Also, in Genesis 22, there is no other verse between the verse of the instruction he received and the verse of his obedience. Abraham departed as the Lord had spoken to him.
God called Abraham again to take his son and sacrifice him on a mountain he would show him. And early the next morning, Abraham obeyed.
We did not see if there was a discussion between Abraham and Sarah his wife on this matter.
It was not possible for Abraham to tell Sarah, “The child you waited for all your life and got at the age of 90, God said I should kill him,” and she would not react.
Sarah could have reacted and said something, “I will kill you first before you kill the child. We will kill each other first.”
But Abraham departed to sacrifice the child without any record of his negotiation of God’s instruction with Sarah his wife. Rather, he moved speedily.
Thus Abraham enjoyed speedy lifting to the top by the instrumentality of his swift obedience of divine instruction.
The challenge of our generation is laxity of action; the challenge of our generation is lackadaisical attitude. This attitude has prevented many people from becoming useful vessels in the Hands of God. But that will not be your portion, in Jesus’ Name.
Beloved, be determined never to let the attitude of laxity be part of your lifestyle. Make up your mind to obey God swiftly so you can enjoy His lifting Power that will take you to the top places of life.
Remember this: The challenge of our generation is laxity of action; the challenge of our generation is lackadaisical attitude.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Refuse to embrace lackadaisical attitude.
2. Like Abraham, deploy swift action and urgency in fulfilling God’s purpose.
PRAYER: Thank you Lord for your Word to me today. I ask that you deliver me from every spell of lackadaisical attitude. I receive the grace for swift and instant obedience to your instruction, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
FOR FUTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: EXISTENCE AT THE TOP - THE POWER OF SWIFT ACTION AND MOTION.
QUOTE: The depth of your character also determines the height of your destiny.

DAILY READING: Ezekiel 34-36
AMAZING FACT: An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION):
The spell of inaction be broken off your life in Jesus’ Name.
