CAN YOU NOW RESOLVE? NOW Series 007
Acts 16:10, NIV
"After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, CONCLUDING that God had called us to preach the gospel to them."
Having a vision is not enough. Seeing what to do or where to go: the opportunity to leverage on is at all not all answers. By experience, I even know that's not where you'll have the greatest battle of being obedient or stepping out. It is in RESOLVING: settling for yourself from the first premise of who speaks and what He says while then taking action by that. Resolving is hard. Do you know why? We don't want to kill Isaac which we have known in hope of what probably may or may not come. They'll say, "a bird at hand is better than two in the bush." But if you can resolve.... If you can like a man who has lost his sense: pack your bags, go take that flight even without knowing whither you're going or anyone there, you have waved to see the divine and God's supernatural hands. You must first resolve. You must say, "it's settled and that your life is not yours." You must not love your life unto death. If you're this steadfast, scaring you or boring doubt in you will be difficult. Paul resolved. What follows?
Acts 16:10-11, KJV
"10... assuredly gathering (concluding) that the Lord had called us for to preach the gospel unto them. 11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to..."
The Bible says, "assuredly gathering." That's resolving. That's deciding. That's drawing the final line which you can't reverse. After that, what happens? The Bible recorded again, "loosing from Troas..." That is, they let go of Troas to go into the future of better things God had for them. The day they loosed from Troas, they murder their past with hope for the future ahead. They set their minds and their commitment to the new place. You may be experiencing doubt. God might have spoken to you and you may still remain where you should have loosed from. God spoke to Abraham yet he was still in his father's house.
Genesis 12:1, KJV
"Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country... unto a land that I will shew thee:"
You might have been spoken to and might have revealed your loosing from Troas to the authority over you but without his go ahead. You may need to stay and ask God to convince him. He that spoke to Cornelius also convinced Peter. It doesn't mean you did not receive correctly or you should let go of God's witness to you which has great reward. Don't force your way. Let God bring all men to the agreement of what he has told you. For those who haven't resolved however, may you assuredly gather that you should carry that step. May you have prove in your fist. Resolution is key! Bless you today, tomorrow and the next.
PRAYER: While at any cross road, teach me to resolve. I receive correct interpretation of God's communication to me.
