A Land Prepared For You – Devotion for March 20, 2012

A Land Prepared For You

Text: Exodus 23:20 – See, I am sending my angel before you and to lead you safely to the land prepared for you (New Living Translation).

The Almighty God has prepared a place for everybody. The place is your own Eden. Every Child of God has an Eden prepare for him. It is a place of peace, progress, and success and prosperity void of evil, sickness and sorrow. When you locate your Eden, you will have peace and things will begin to work for you. When God called Abraham to go to Canaan, he stopped half way and did not receive the full benefit of his call until he entered Canaan. Have you ever asked why did God ask Abraham to leave his people? Why will God not bless him in the land of Chaldea? In 1 Kings 17:3-5, 9 God told Elijah to go to brook Cherith for He had commanded the raven and to the woman of Zerephath to feed him. God fulfilled all these. God would have as well told Elijah to stay there and He will feed him.

Are you in the place where God has prepared for you? God prepared Canaan for the Israelites, Eden for Adam. If you do not know yours, ask Him today to direct you to the place prepared for you. I joined the Church ministry after teaching for 6 years. Throughout the 6 years, I could not afford good trousers and shirts, even when I was still faithful in my tithe, until I join the Church ministry where I was receiving one quarter of my salary as a teacher. However, within 3 months I was able to buy radio and camera from my stipend which I couldn’t when I was teaching because I have now entered the place God has prepared for me. If you have been toiling in vain, come to God and He will show you your Eden. He who did it for me will do it for you.
