Bible Verses:
Genesis 12:1-2
The Lord had said to Abram, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you.
“I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.
My Notes:
This week’s service discussed the journey and the destination of following God.
That’s exactly what I wondered.
In Exacting Discipleship , God lead us out of our shield/house to start a journey. But then, for what?
In Genesis 12:1, God asked Abram to leave his country. Abram left his country at 75 years old and without a son.
After thousand years, Abram’s grand grand grand son, Jesus redeemed us all.
To conclude, Abram started from barrenness and cropped with Jesus.
Hence, it suggested that everyone started from barrenness?
My shield/house is built with years with extra cares. It equipped everything that I intended.
But barrenness?!
At least a garden ma………….
After studying Exacting Discipleship, I think I can keep my house with me. I can hide in my shield if anything goes wrong throughout the journey with God.
But now…….my house is barrenness? That’s meant that the journey with God is one way ticket?
Let me introduce the house in Exacting Discipleship. It was a gift of being the highest score in class in the first examination that I attended in my life.
The door of the house was broken for a long time. And when I seek help to fix the door, I was taught not to fix it because of reminding not to lock myself in the house.
In below photo, I smashed the house to symbolise my determination to start this one way journey to God.
