Possess the land which God has given you

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

God has given to each of us an assignment to fulfill HIS purpose while we live on this earth.

 

In the Old Testament, God gave portions of lands to HIS people but they had to go up and possess that land though God had given it to them.

 

Deuteronomy 1

 

21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.

If you are married you have that land to which you tend day and night for the remainder of your life on this earth.

 

Each of us need God's wisdom to care for our assignment.

 

And God has promised to us:

 

James 1:5  If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

 

Hebrews 13:5  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

God has given us all that we need to do that to which HE has assigned us.  There is no lack.  There is no want.  

 

We are well able, through God, who has given us HIS Holy Spirit to live in us and to teach us and to guide us.

I Corinthians 12

27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

28 And God hath set some in the church (to care for the church), first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

 

We are well equipped by God to do all that God assigns for us to do.

Psalm 23

 

1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 HE maketh me to lie down in green pastures: HE leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 HE restoreth my soul: HE leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for HIS name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for THOU art with me; THY rod and THY staff they comfort me.

5 THOU preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: THOU anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
