International. Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. I wish God

would give me clear directions. I wish the God who has called me to

do it would at least tell me the details. If he would do it,

I would be able to move forward. But I wanted to understand.

God did not call you to walk by knowledge. He called you to walk

by faith. When you look at Genesis twenty two, a very familiar passage

where God is calling Abraham and God is telling Abraham to go and sacrifice his

son Isaac. God is asking him to do a very big task, an

assignment which involves his emotions, an assignment which involves his mental ability as an

assignment which will have a toll on his physical aspect, It will have a

toll on his mental aspect, a toll on his emotional aspect. I'm sure

he would have been drained a big task to sacrifice his only son, Isaac.

And remember Isaac is not just Abraham's son, right, Isaac is also

Sarah's son. Now, imagine what he would tell Sarah. So many questions

in his mind. And God was calling Abraham, and God was telling Abraham

used this thing, He said to him Abraham. And Abraham replied, here

I am. And God said, take your son, your only son,

whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Morea. Remember

a lot of people think that God told him to go to a mountain called

Moriah. No, it doesn't say a mountain called Moriah. It says go

to the region of Morea and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on a mountain.

If you look at sometimes regions says or one of the mountains which I

will tell you, yus the thing God was going to send him out on

a very important assignment. God was about to send him out to go and

sacrifice his only son, not only his only son, but Sarah's only son,

a guy who was already drained physically, emotionally, and mentally. And

here he was where God was telling him to go and sacrifice him. And

in that moment, you see God is telling him go to the region of

Maria, and he's not even telling him which mountain. Can you imagine that?

How do I know if I'm going to climb the right mountain? God,

I'm going to obey your voice. I'm going to do something really big.

Okay, God, I'm really sacrificing so much in doing what I'm doing.

Can't you at least tell me this detail of which mountain I need to

climb? Can't you at least give me the direction properly? Can't you at

least tell me the details? But just the thing. God is calling Abraham

and God is selling go to the region of Mariah, but God doesn't tell

him which mountain. Sometimes in your life, God may give you certain directions,

but he won't give you all the directions. He may give you some

details, but he's not going to give you all the details. When God

called Prophet Samuel in First Samuel time to sixteen to go and annoint the next

king for Israel. He gave him the direction, saying, go to the

house of Jesse, but God did not tell him with son. He gave

Jesse's name, but he did not give the son's name. He gave him

the direction go to the region of Mariah, but he didn't tell them which

mountain. Now, for example, when you look at some mountain ranges like

Himalayas. Right when you look at Himalayas. I was just going through this

the other day. The mountain range of the Himalayas are spread throughout so many

countries. They are there in India, this Himalaya, in Pakistan, Afghanistan,

Tibet, Nepal, China. I mean, like I think six countries

or something either spread through such a vast area. But here was God telling

him go to the region of Maria because there is a mountain range. Like

you say, the Himalayas. There is a mountain range that is in this

place. And God is saying go to the region of Maria. It's like

saying, Okay, I want you to climb out of one of the mountains

in the Himalayas, but I want to make it easy for you. Go

to the region of the Himalayas in India called Kashmir, or it may give

you some detail. Go to the region of the Himalayas in Nepal or something,

some region, but it looks like okay, at least he's given some

directions so that you can move and that. But when you go, you

realize that that area is filled with mountains. Imagine God tells you climb one

of the mountains in the region of Cashmir in India, in the Himalayas.

The first question you would ask is which mountain? Lord? I mean,

I've been to that place, and I know everywhere you look. Everywhere you

look mountains and mountains and mountains. When you're flying over that place, you

know the place is filled with mountains. Though, if God would tell me

go to the region of Cashmir and climb the mountains, one of the mountains,

the first question I'm going to ask is which mountain? Lord? You're

giving me a big assignment, But why can't you at least tell me which

mountain. Today you may be in a place where you're asking God, why

isn't God giving me all the details? Why aren't you telling me this detailed

God? It would be really, really helpful. But that's when you realize

God gives you direction for something, but at the same time, in some

places is going to let you walk by faith, trusting that this is what

God wants you to do. Yes, he's telling Okay, go to the

region of Cashman, start climbing the mountain. So when you go there,

what's going to happen is maybe the Lord is going to stir in your spirit

to lead you in a certain mountain towards a certain mountain, or maybe there's

something that works out, like maybe you're just happy to be next to the

right mountain or whatever it is. What I'm trying to say here is this

that when God calls you and gives you an assignment, and if he doesn't

give you the direction in something, if he doesn't give you a certain element

of detail, it means that he trusts that you can take the right step.

If God doesn't v was certain detail, it means that he can trust

that you can take the right step. Now, do you know something,

When do you think Abraham would have known that he climbed the night mountain?

He was doing something really excruciated pain physically, emotionally, mentally, and I'm

sure even spiritually. But here's the thing. How do you think Abraham came

to know that he was climbing the right mountain? Not when he started climbing

it, not when he was halfway through it, Not when he was three

foot of the mountain, wild clug going towards the top. Do you know

when he knew he climbed the right mountain? After he climbed the mountain and

he was about to plunge to kill his son, the Lord called out and

said it was a test, don't kill him. And he looks and he

sees a ram. He sees the substitute ram that was supposed to be held

as a sacrifice. That ram is the sign that Abraham climb the right mountain.

What I want you to know is this important thing that God will have

some rams to give you as a sign that you climb the right mountain.

But what I want you to know is this. Imagine Abraham climbed this mountain

and then he realized that the ram was in the wrong mountain, and God

was like, you climb the wrong mountain, Abraham, Now get down and

go to that mountain. That would be really weird, right, But that's

why you need to trust that God is not stupid. That's when you need

to trust that God is a good God, a loving father, and he

knows what's best for you. If he knows that you're climbing the wrong mountain,

he's not going to just keep his mouth shut and watch you go.

He's going to give you the signal and say, hey, you're climbing the

wrong mountain. Go to that mountain. That's when you need to trust God.

If God trusts you that you can take the step, you need to

trust him that if you're going in the wrong path, he's going to direct

your steps, that he's going to tell you you're going in the wrong path.

I believe that either of these two things are possible. If Abraham was

going to climb the wrong mountain. Either God would have made Abraham to climb

the right mountain by speaking to him the God who spoke to him and said

don't even spoken, or even if he climbed the wrong mountain, I believe

God would have made the ram to climb the wrong mountain, which will actually

make the right mountain. But God would have made it happen just for Abraham.

That's the level of faith I have, and that's the faith you need

to have when you start walking by faith that God who called you, he's

a faithful God. And if he realizes you're going in the wrong path,

he's not going to shut his mountain sit. He's going to ensure either to

guide you in the right path or he's going to use that to divert the

ram to come to the right mountain. And I want you to have that

faith that God is going to make all things beautiful. He's going to work

things out for you. But would you trust and take the step. A

lot of people today are just saying, God, give me eight to zid

of all the details, then I will go. It's not going to happen.

It's never going to happen. God wants you to start with what you

have. He wants you to start with the assignment in front of you.

He wants you to start with what is available at your disposal. You take

the step, God will do the rest. Do you trust him to do

that? I want to close with this example from my life. So when

it comes to giving one of my gifts, is like the Lord leads me

to give something my watch or running or different things. Over the years,

God leads me or money, I just trust and lead is in God's leading,

and I gave it. So there was this time when when I bought

my first g Shock watch, which I was so excited about, Like I

was. I got in through my own salary, so I was so excited.

I got my watch. And at one point the Lot told me while

I was sitting in church, there was such a strong leading and a hurch

God said I want you to give this watch to the past there and I

was like, God, are you seriously, I'm not sure if you want

me to do that. I don't know if you heard me right, if

I heard you right. And so as I kept speaking in tongues, I

was need to speak in tongues, that leading and the urgent became more and

more strong. And then so I said, okay, God, anyway,

it's not that easy to meet Pastor today. So if at all it works

out and I'm able to meet him, then that's a sign that I can

meet him and give the watch. Otherwise it's not. But you know it

so happened of all days that day, it was the easiest to meet him,

and I know that choice. I was like, okay, fine,

you know the Lord is leading me to do this. I'm just giving it

to you. And I was so I mean, I felt so heavy because

it was so precious to me because I had another watch at home. As

God was like, no, I wanted to give what is precious to you,

and I was like, okay, God, I just trust you and

I did it. And I just come walking out of their place and a

random person just comes to me and hands over a silver ring to me and

says, the Lord told me to give this to you. That silver ring

was the ram for me to show me that what I did was the right

thing at that time. What I wanted to know is that when God asked

you to do something, it may look stupid, it may not make sense,

but trust him. God is going to bring such rams to show you

that you're in the right part. God is going to orchestrate everything in a

beautiful the way through those silver ring or whatever to show you, Hey,

what you did is right and I'm going to hony you for that. And

God is going to definitely honor you when you start walking By faith, Lord,

I pray that this world will be a blessing to those watching listening from

around the world. Let them experience the joy that comes in trusting you and

walking by faith and not by sight. Let them go in the direction that

with the knowledge that you have given them. At the same time, at

times when they don't have direction, let them trust you and let them experience

that peace that comes with the rams and the rings that you should bring out

the show that they're in the right path, that they will know that God

is leading them and He is faithful to lead them to their final destination.

In Jesus name, I pray Amen. Guys, I hope you are blessed
