And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren. Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left. And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. Genesis 13:8-11
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it. Mark 8:34,35
Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Filled With The Will Of God
..He was completely yielded and surrendered to the will of His Father to the point that He went to the cross. He knew that was the will of His Father, to fulfil scripture. The ministry of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. And it’s the same with you and I. If God is to fulfill His ministry through you and I then we decrease that He increases so that we are filled with the Spirit of God.. Filled with the will of God, we will always put the will of God in every choice – every decision. In everything that we face it will always be God’s will. ‘ Do We Have Rights And Choices ? ‘
Faith Is In God’s Choices
When we face all these decisions each day – and I know life can be complicated. The world isn’t easy but the Holy Spirit He will be there so that we make those right choices.. with job.. children.. family – whatever situation. In other words it’s walking in the Spirit and not in the flesh (Romans 8). Faith will always come first, God will make those choices for us. If you’re finding at times your cup is bitter don’t try and make it sweet. God’s got a reason. Whatever your trial you’re going through don’t run away. Let the will of God His way through that trial your going through because He’s teaching you to walk by faith.
Obedience Is God Taking Over
..The will of God is not to run away from our trials and we all want to don’t we in the flesh. Very often we come to the end of ourselves – ‘ I can’t take any more. ‘ But God is faithful He’s there and you suddenly find the power of God starts to take over when you feel you’re going completely under. We’re talking about obedience brothers and sisters because it makes us into spiritual people. That is what pleases God more than anything – to obey Him.. ..

And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Luke 9:57-62
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. Mark 8:36-38
