Previously, I shared with you several things that hinder people from possessing their land; procrastination, fear to ask the cost of land, looking in wrong places, forgetting and blaming the dead. Today I want us to look at some of the solutions to the above challenges and what you ought to do in order to possess the land.
The first thing you must do is to activate the covenant. Don’t procrastinate (delay). Isaac activated the marital covenant and got the land [Genesis 26:8]. When there was famine in Egypt, the Egyptians came to Joseph asking him to buy them with their land and Joseph reveals areas to use the land for [Genesis 47:19]. Land is there to preserve you from dying. Beloved, if you don’t know how to use your land, you are as good as dead. Your land is living, and is capable of producing things for you. Every piece of land you’re looking at is alive and living. You are capable of bringing forth something on the land. When God was giving the children of Israel land, it was alive. People of God, kick in the covenant because it has better lenses for what you’re looking for. In Genesis 3, something happened after the fall of man. God told Adam, “Cursed [is] the ground for your sake” [Genesis 3:17]. Therefore, it’s you to bless and give life to the land. Proverbs 10:22 reads, the blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. When God blesses you with land, it has no sorrow because His seven spirits are with you [Revelation 5:12]. These seven spirits help you to remove the sorrow from that land. That’s why you need the covenant because it’s in the atonement. You overcome procrastination by invoking the covenant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Remember we have two covenants; the Abrahamic covenant which was sealed by the blood of Abraham and the Messianic covenant which was sealed by the blood of Jesus. Isaac was a married man. He touched the marriage covenant and he got the land, and to you who is single, you must activate the covenant of a witness [Acts 1:8].
The second thing you have to do is to work the system. You pray and look around for land. See what others with land are doing on their land. In Genesis 12, the LORD promised Abraham to show him the land. In chapter 13, Abraham built an altar, and the LORD told him to walk the land; “Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are – northward, southward, eastward and westward.” In other words, make the cross [Genesis 13:14]. The bible says, wherever you set your foot, that land will be yours [Deut 11:24 NLT]. Once you work the system, sometimes people will have to leave you. Lot left Abraham [Genesis 13:9-11]. Exodus 18:20 reads, And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. The third thing is to walk God. Most people walk with God instead of walking Him. It’s time to walk God. The fourth thing you must do is to draw your plans. If you’re going to get land, you must draw plans. What do you want to do on that land? Your biggest tablet lays between your heart and mind. And it’s very important for you to be converted. That’s why Psalms 19:7 says, The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul; When you convert your soul, things begin to work well. Once your soul is converted, you begin to see things you have never seen before. Jesus said to Peter, satan has asked for you, that he may sift [you] as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; “and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” [Luke 22:31-32].
Cain killed his brother and he became a vagabond. The ground that had given him fruit had now swallowed the blood of his brother. Cain cursed the land that gave him fruit. The scripture says, the blood of Abel still speaks [Hebrews 12:24]. Whatever you put in the ground comes back. Even the dead shall be raised first [1 Corinthians 15:52]. What happened to Cain? He left the land that had been cursed after repenting to God, and went to the land of Nod where he knew his wife and gave birth to Enoch and built a city [Genesis 4: 10-17]. May the Lord mark you as a landlord in these 90days. He is a builder and He promised to build you a house. May God build you into a temple of the Holy Spirit. However, construction requires patience and patience takes time. Jesus is also building mansions. He told us to pray that what is done in heaven may be done on earth; you will build your own house in Jesus’ name. If a murderer Cain whom God had marked, built a city in the Land of Nod, you’re not going to die without first building something that people will see.
The fifth thing you must do is to follow the right trend. When the children of Israel left Egypt, the land in the desert couldn’t permit them to build houses like those they had in Egypt. They instead constructed tents. Use things that will permit you to move as fast as possible. Don’t buy more expensive things in your rented house than what you will put in your built house. The Hebrews couldn’t build what they desired in a strange land because they had where they were going. Don’t spend money on things that will be broken when you’re shifting from one place to another. In the midst of moving to your permanent house, there’s tent living. The sixth thing you need to do is to remember. You came with nothing in this world and you will go with nothing. Remember the Lord God [Deut 8:18]. Remembrance is what God required from the Hebrews. Jesus said, do this in remembrance of me [1 Corinthians 11:24-25]. The thief at the cross asked Jesus to remember him [Luke 23:42]. Lastly, learn how to declare. Start declaring that you’re a child of God. Trust in Him and He will fight for you. We have seen how Americans, Arabs and Ugandans fight but now, we are going to see how God fights for those whose land was stolen. This day the Lord has begotten you and he will give you nations for your inheritance [Psalms 2:1-8].
