Abram grew up in a family of idol worshippers and was under a curse such that over the age of 40 God had to speak to him to get out of his father’s house and walk with God in order to get the blessing.
Genesis 12:
[1]NOW [in Haran] the Lord said to Abram, Go for yourself [for your own advantage] away from your country, from your relatives and your father’s house, to the land that I will show you. [Heb. 11:8-10.]
[2]And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others].
[3]And I will bless those who bless you [who confer prosperity or happiness upon you] and curse him who curses or uses insolent language toward you; in you will all the families and kindred of the earth be blessed [and by you they will bless themselves]. [Gal. 3:8.]
[4]So Abram departed, as the Lord had directed him; and Lot [his nephew] went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran.
My friend when God.is getting ready to set you up for elevation and a blessing He requires separation – you have to be separated in order to be elevated.
Watch this now, Genesis 32:
[24]And Jacob was left alone, and a Man wrestled with him until daybreak.
For Jacob to be blessed and transformed from being a trickster to one that is triumphant with God,he had to be separated for the blessing to come.
My friend; yes you will loose friends, people close to you, relatives and you will be separated from your father’s house but this is so such that God can minister to you at an individual state without distractions and setbacksso that He can propel you to a higher dimension in Christ Jesus. God works with individuals not crowds, because crowds have different opinions, crowds make noise. On saving Israel He used one man-Moses, not crowds; and again Moses went through a period of separation- yet the crowds where known for murmuring and complaining. On saving you and me He used one man Christ Jesus who also went through separation of 40days and 40nights. Separation simply means alone with God for a longer period of time- uninterrupted and unhindered intimate-time with the Father.
So if you seeking the next level the next dimension get ready for separation!
