Saints who let God promote them to accomplish a divine purpose must choose His path
and His way -Genesis 12:2, Isaiah 14:19, Numbers 13
The ‘I will’ that began the rebellion, the giant Arba or selfish ambition. The second ‘I will’
was the giant Anak or self-will. This family of giants ruled the Promised Land. This family of
giants costs the Israelites forty years of desert wandering keeping practically all of that
generation out of their inheritance. When the spies were sent out by Moses to spy out the
Promised Land, the first obstacle or stumbling block that stopped them in their tracks, were
the giants. We can’t allow the giants who are all stubbornly self-centered to stop the
development of God’s fullness. We must wage and win the war over ourselves that keeps us from
the fullness of our relationship with God and His glory. God says to Abraham ‘I will make you a
great nation. I choose to order your destiny and I choose the magnitude of your success.’ In
contrast, the devil proclaimed the magnitude of his own success saying “I will exalt my throne
above the stars of God.” God wanted His man Abraham to surrender his personal will and for
him to know that his station in life would be God-arranged. Saints who let God promote them
to accomplish a divine purpose must choose His path and His way which always involves
putting a giant or two under our feet!
