Today’s study is a very critical one. It reveals to us two individuals who had similar experiences but different outcomes. The determining factor in the outcome of each person was in the MOVE that was made. There are four MAJOR MOVES ON THE EARTH that you must be conscious of, namely:
(1) The move of men.
(2) The move of hell (Satan and his kingdom)
(3) The move of God, and
(4) Your own move. These four moves are on the earth and going on now. There are men responding to God’s move or Satan’s move currently. What is moving you? In that decision that you are taking now, who is moving you? There are men that Satan moves regularly. Ask yourself today, “Who is moving me?”
Out of these four moves, the most critical of all is YOUR OWN MOVE! You must pray for yourself that you don’t move under the move of Satan. The move of Isaac was a divine move, while that of Elimelech was a move of hell. Both of them experienced famine, but instead of Elimelech seeking the face of God and receiving direction for location, he took to his heels, and ran away to Moab; he went into death and destruction. The devil wiped him and his seed out. You will not be wiped out in Jesus name! Amen!
Elimelech ended up in a strange land. May you not move from your divine location! May you not move from where the Lord has ordained to increase and multiply you in the name of Jesus! May you be sensitive to know where you must be, where you must stay, where God has sent resources, so that everything will meet you there in the name of Jesus!
PRAYER: I will not be involved in a wrong move in Jesus’ name. Amen!
