Text: Gen. 12:1-8 – “And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there built he an altar unto the Lord, Who appeared unto him.”
The Year 2020 is a great journey ahead of us. Many are embarking into this journey without preparation, they will likely come out fruitless. As we prepare spiritually for this great journey we shall enjoy God’s Guidance. Spiritual preparation is very crucial as we go into this coming year. We might not know the details that year, but we rest on the assurance that Our God is The Alpha and The Omega, Who knows the end from the beginning and has assured us He will go before us and make the crooked path straight. Psalm 108:13 says “Through God, we shall do valiantly: for He, it is that shall tread down our enemies.”
Our success in 2020 is going to be by The Power of God, not our strength. God is set to lead us into greatness in 2020. Isaiah 48:17 says “Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
” TEACH AND LEAD are two great words in this Scripture.
Having a good Teacher, Mentor and Coach will most likely need to Success. God has purposed to Teach and Lead us in the way to go into the year 2020. As we follow God’s Teaching and Leading, abundance is guaranteed. We need a Teachable heart as we step into the year 2020.
To “Teach” means to be imparted with Knowledge that will cause one to succeed. 2 Samuel 22:35-37 – “He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip.”
To “Lead” means to go before and direct one’s Path. A blind man needs a guide lest he falls into a ditch. 1 Corinthians 11:1 – “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” Psalm 23:1-4 – “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters…..” The Lord wants to be your Shepherd but are you willing to be led? Isaiah 45:1-2.
From our above Text (Gen. 12), Abraham, despite not having any child followed God despite the seeming mockery. As he followed God, everything he would need and ever become in life came to reality. Obedience to God is very crucial to experiencing a Great Turnaround in the year 2020. Regardless of your current state, have faith in God, follow His instructions and your success is guaranteed as we step into the year 2020.
