If God has called you, you don’t need a lot. The account is found in the book of Genesis. God called Abraham to leave home and family for a land promised to him and his descendants. His first act of disobedience was bringing his father and nephew, Lot, with him. His father never made it and took him on a side trip. Lot made it, but was a constant source of irritation in the land.
When I teach on this account, I tell believers to remember never bring along a “Lot” when God calls you. God will supply all you need in the land. It’s a lot that drains us of spiritual life.
1 John 2:15-17
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
You didn’t bring anything when you came into the world, and you won’t carry out anything when you leave. Stay light and always be ready to move out without unnecessary baggage, including individuals.
Give it some thought.
