THAT’S WHY ALL YOUR REBUKING AND BINDING THE DEVIL HASN’T WORK || BISHOP T.D JAKES
——–
Both Abraham and Isaac have this in common, they are sojourners. They are people who are on a journey. They had years to go by before they stabilised in one place. I say that to point to you that working into the blessings and purposes of God, is a journey not instantaneous thing, it doesn’t happen automatically.

When God says to Abraham, get out of thy country and from thy kindred, and go to a land I will show you, it doesn’t put you there instantly. We live in this automated age, where we want it fast, not understanding how essential the journey is.

Anytime you look at God, he’s on the move….

So Abraham went on a journey with Sarah and Isaac a grown man who was also on a journey. And often what cause the journey is the famine.

We always pray against the famine and the famine is a catalyst that God uses to move you from place to place.
Not just balance for food, it can be famine for peace, famine for life, famine for opportunity. But often when God doesn’t move in the place you want Him to move, He will allow you to experience famines to force you to pack your things and move to the next dimension. That’s why all your rebuking and binding the devil, hasnt work because God can allow the famine to move you into the next dimension of what He’s going to do in your life.

The other things I want you to notice is that God move generationally while most of us think situationally.
You might not like this part, we are always praying to God about situations when God has a plan that is generational.

Sometimes, God doesn’t move you for you, He move you for your descendants. He move you to position you out of place that in your life time, you don’t fully understand why exactly you did what you did but out of the movement, God is thinking generationally and while you where thinking situationally. Am going to tell you why this is important. I would rather have you disappointed because God hasnt fix your situation but God is concerned about your generation, and sometimes God will use your situation to move your generation into the place He wants you to go.

We all want to see our children blessed, no doubt about that.. but we are so focused on our dream, and our comfort.
That is to say we don’t accept inconvenience to accomplish divine purpose. Purpose will always require inconvenience. God told Abraham that his children will sojourn in Egypt for 400years and afterwards, they will come out with great substance. Before Abraham dies, God speaks to him and says your children will sojourn in Egypt for 400years and afterwards they will come out with great substance.. you can see how far ahead God is thinking(a list of 400years plan).

You are planning about next week and God is telling Abraham, go ahead and rest and don’t worry about anything , I got a 400years strategy and the Bible says in Ephesians; He worketh all things after the counsel of His own will. That mean, God is working things, not after the counsel of your own will but after the counsel of His own will.
