CHANGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT

“Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:” Genesis 12:1 (KJV)

Sometimes, the environment that you find yourself in can be responsible for the reason why things fail to open up in your life. We find ourselves in a restrictive environment where every effort we put in fails to yield any positive result. We are ordained by heaven to defy every restrictive environment that we find ourselves in and to surmount every opposition. 

God told Abram when he called him, get thee out of thy country, and from your kindred, and your father’s house, unto a land that I will show you. You need to get out of your present environment if you will enter the type of blessing that I have ordained for you. If anything will affect you and stop you from getting into the big things that you have been predestined for, it is your present environment that does not align with the word of God. So, change your environment, change your crowd, and change the company that you keep. The space that you circulate in can be responsible for shutting down your destiny. 

Look at what Jesus did, he took the man that was deaf and dumb aside from the multitude (Mark 7:33). There are some environments that you can’t stay in and expect your victory and your miracle. Never stay around people who do not encourage your faith. Do not stay in an environment of fear and expect to be bold. It can never happen. You don’t stay in an environment of murmuring and complaining and expect that things will turn out good. You can’t stay in an environment that people are not joyful and expect to be joyous. The scripture tells us that the joy of the Lord is our strength. You can’t stay in a negative environment and expect an opening into a bright future.
