LEAVE IT!!!

When God gives us an instruction he expects us to follow without hesitation. Lot’s family was told to escape for their lives and not to look behind, or stop anywhere. If they did, they would be consumed and swept away. It’s not easy leaving a place where you have leaved for so long and started prospering, but when God’s word comes forth, it needs total obedience and complete trust in God for your life. We know what happened when Lot’s wife disobeyed and looked back. She became a pillar of salt!

As the children of Israel began complaining in the wilderness and desired to go back to Egypt, none of them saw the Promised Land. Because when God brought them out of their slavery in Egypt, he wanted them to trust him and not to look back! This act of murmuring and complaining made God angry with them and prolonged their stay in the wilderness for forty years. This could have been avoided if they completely believed God.

There are some things that God has told us to leave and not look back. They could be behaviors/habits that do not please him. They could be friends or even relationships that God is telling us to leave behind and follow him.

It is a simple instruction, but some of us what to still linger on those things. Please remember what happened to Lot’s wife when she decided to look behind and also the children of Israel, God’s chosen nation. Am sure none of us would like to become stagnant in one place for the rest of our lives or even not reach our promised land and fulfill our purposes?

It is for your own good. God is your creator he has good plans for you. That’s why it’s so so vital for us to just leave it! And trust God for his greater.
