MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
WE SINCERELY NEED ROOM - Large Place Series 011
Read Genesis 13:1-7
Genesis 13:7,KJV
"And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land."
That God blessed Abraham and Lot isn't enough. That their blessing is now proving to be blessing indeed is the major. Some have blessings but they yet don't experience they're blessed themselves. Their blessings have not yet begin to manifest consequences that must be immediately attended to. Any who's using just one room and calls himself superfluously blessed isn't. By the time you have a warehouse that can't take your goods again and complaints are coming that the new order has no where to be laid is when you're beginning to have this level of Abraham's blessing. Did you not read about the apostles? God added to them daily and their number increased until through oversight some of the brethren widows are neglected. You see, that's a problem emanating from being blessed and that leads to their saying, "look among you for seven men of good repute...", the rest was history (Acts 6:1-4).
When the blessings of Abram and Lot towers, their herdsmen or managers begin to clash with themselves. Scarcity of resources is beginning to happen and competition and survival of the fittest in the land is becoming a thing to practise. So, inescapably, their stewards fight because each needs to be catered for. Who will watch his source of wealth: cattle, herds die of want of food or scarcity of water. That's why each side is fighting the other and saying indirectly, "you, relocate. Give us a breathing space because this space and resources aren't enough nor supportive of two persons again." Brethren, this is a sign of being blessed. When blessing is almost becoming a curse, you need another blessing to keep your original blessing to remain blessings. Or else, if blessings goes unsubdued and capacitated, it may bring ruins. Has there being a fight between you and your spouse over the space in the wardrobe, the parking lot etc? Or between you and your sibling or friend with whom you share space or room? God can take both of you to your space. Obviously, if you're a couple, divorce isn't the option. You only need to ask for an enlargement of coast. If a wardrobe isn't longer containing, having two settles it?
Today, I see God doing for you both. If the God who blessed Abram also blessed Lot, will it be hard for that same Lord giving them ground, support and resources on which to raise and increase their blessings. Indeed, that's what eventually happens. Why get choked together when there's enough room for growth and expansion? I see you breathing fresh air as you're delivered out of narrowness, smallness that's making you watch your weight, growth and increment of your possession over the simple fear of having no store houses enough to harbour and contain them.
PRAYER: Lord, take me to my wide place. A place that could accommodate my blessings.
