 Struggling?
Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
If you want to see God's promise fulfilled in your life this year, do not rush things - or you might give birth to an Ishmael! Ishmael was born because Sarah tried to orchestrate events and bail God out. And the world has been living with the consequences ever since. Be sure that your plans are born of God's Spirit. Do not try to salvage anything that is flesh-based. God said, '...my covenant will I establish with Isaac...' (Genesis 17:21), because Isaac was the result of God's will, done God's way, in God's time. Jesus said, 'Flesh gives birth to flesh, but...Spirit gives birth to spirit.' Everything that is conceived in you comes from one of two sources; the flesh or the Spirit. People will try to involve you in all kinds of schemes to rescue and promote yourself. But God does not need help to bless you; He can do it all by Himself. That is why, whenever Satan attacks, you need to be able to point him to your spiritual birthplace and remind him that you did not begin this project, therefore you do not have to finish it. What God ordains, He sustains! So today, if God is dealing with carnality, pride or any other obstacle in your path, do not get in His way. Like rescuing a drowning man who is frantically trying to save himself, until you stop flailing around God cannot do anything for you. Give it up! Try less and trust more! The Bible says, '...he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion... (Philippians 1:6). So relax and stop struggling!
