CUT THE UMBILICAL CORD!
The Lord had said to Abram, Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you."(Gen. 12:1,NLT) At the age of 75, it wasn't easy for Abram to move away from his family. But to become what God had destined for him, he had no choice than to leave. He had to cut that umbilical cord. An umbilical is the point of attachment of the cord to the fetus. It also depicts a heavy dependence in a close relationship. As we all know, immediately a baby is born, one of the things that is done is to cut the umbilical cord, to separate it from the mother. When this is not done, one of them could die. In the same way, when God calls a man, he would have to detach himself from certain places and people. But some of us still keep certain close ties and ruin our destiny. The fact is we don't need all those people and connections where God is taking us. We are on our way to better days. There is therefore the need to cut any "umbilical cord." AB@TWD
