"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... And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran." (Genesis 12:1, 5)
Isn't this the story of our lives? God specifically asks us to leave a particular place or person, but for some strange reason, we see the need to bring along the very people who were the reason God asked us to leave in the first place.
The Law of Common Denominator
Indulge me for a few minutes as I present the law of the common denominator. Every time you're in trouble, it's because of Person X. Every time you're broke, it's because of Person X. Every time you're feeling miserable and confused, no gas in the car, no food in the house, no money in the bank, it's because of Person X.
Better yet, why is it that whenever you discuss the future concerning Person X, you use the word "we," but when Person X speaks of future events, they use the word "I"?
Can't you see how much your life has digressed since Person X was factored into it? The law of the common denominator suggests that whenever the same thing or person pops up every time hell breaks loose, identifying the problem becomes relatively easy. In this case, it's clearly Person X.
Person X Is Anointed to Delay You
My friend, the grim reality is that some folks are anointed by Satan to prevent you from progressing. Not only are they gifted at making sure you do not make progress, but they master the art of delaying you at every point in your life.
Enough with the excuses. You know just as well as I do that it's time to sever the root of what you already know to be your problem. The few tears you will shed now are nothing compared to the heartaches awaiting you in the future if you continue to tag along with Person X. The story of Lot and Abraham is a perfect example of your end result when you pollute your destiny with what you should have left behind long ago. Lot drew Abraham into unnecessary matters he should never have been involved with. The bottom line is that Person X is damaged and tainted goods, carrying the seeds of unhappiness and confusion. If you don't believe me, look at their life. It is littered with destruction, chaos, empty promises, and a consistent pace of going nowhere.
Cutting the Root
I don't know who you are today, but you have overstayed your welcome with someone or something you should have tossed aside long ago. As a result of your delay, you're becoming bitter, miserable, angry, and, most of all, frustrated, not to mention losing precious time you cannot regain.
The real danger, my friend, is that if you do not heed this advice now, you will never be able to recognize God's intended place or person for you, because you'll be too busy beating them with what Person X did to you in the past.
Recognizing What God Has for You
Many of you reading this right now probably already have an idea of God's choice for your life, even as I declare this word to you. But because you refuse to release what has happened in the past, or you've released it too late, bitterness and anger have superseded your ability to recognize and appreciate what is presently suitable for your life.
Ask God to release your mind, spirit, and soul from the curse of the law of the common denominator, so that it becomes easy to remove Person X, or to put behind you what Person X has done to you.
I pray that God will not only heal your heart but spiritually open your eyes, so that you may see clearly, physically and spiritually, and that the obstacles the enemy has set on your path of destiny be consumed by the fire of God Almighty.
Father, I pray that You release those who desire to be removed from the chokehold of Satan now, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
