You Have Papers
by Denise Hartmann-Echterling
We were recently in Washington, DC at the Nigerian Embassy to receive permission and pay the necessary Visa fees so that Mike can travel and enter into their country. As the paperwork and money were turned in, we were instructed that within a week or two that permission should be granted.
As we left the fortified and heavily guarded Embassy, I was reminded how that the “Promised Land” that God promised His children, (this includes us today) was also fortified and well guarded. The Israelites, with God’s instructions an assistance, could have entered into the Land of Milk and Honey within a few weeks of leaving Egypt. But they, like us, became fearful and saw the “Land” as too difficult to enter and full of very large giants.
The Israelites, as well as US, have decided that entering into His Land of Promise is too hard and not for us TODAY, but for when we ‘all get to heaven’. God has laid before us choices to either enter to His Land of Promise or stay in the wilderness with all those that think that are as small as grasshoppers.
Our paperwork and visa for the Land of Promise has already been paid for by the Blood of Jesus. It is up to us to walk into and take possession of what has already been bought and paid for by our Savior. So let’s take what is ours - bought and paid for - OUR LAND OF PROMISE.
