Lesson 4 Sharing God’s Mission – 4.5 Submission to God’s Will
To submit to God’s will, as described in the verses from Genesis 12:1-9, is an attitude of humility, faith, and obedience to God, even when the path before us appears unclear and challenging. Abraham, a central example of this devotion, shows us how this submission bears fruit in various life situations.
Abraham’s calling is an impressive example of this attitude. Although God’s command to leave his homeland and relatives and go to an unfamiliar land was undoubtedly unusual and frightening, he submitted to God’s will and followed Him. This illustrates that God’s plan often extends beyond our imagination and comfort, but our trust in God and our willingness to heed His call can lead us in remarkable ways.
Similarly, Abraham’s obedience is evident in his choice of land, his handling of conflicts, and his love for people. His willingness to subordinate himself and his interests to God’s higher will resulted in divine blessings and showed that he prioritized God’s agenda above all else.
The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah reveals Abraham’s compassion and his earnest effort to fulfill God’s will even in a hopeless scenario. His intercession and desire for salvation are evidence of his deep devotion to God and his love for people.
In today’s time, we can learn from Abraham to submit to God in every situation. Regardless of the challenges or obstacles we face, by subordinating our own will to God’s divine will, we can effect change and advance God’s work on Earth. This encourages us to pray for the spread of the Gospel and actively support those in our surroundings who need assistance and prayer.
The challenge of reaching out to people in similar difficult situations demonstrates how our submission to God’s will can become concrete. It encourages us to show compassion and love, pray for others, and seek opportunities to bring God’s love into the world. For by submitting to God’s will, we can become instruments of His grace and love for others.

Thursday: Submission to God’s Will
Daily Lesson for Thursday 26th of October 2023
Read Genesis 12:1-9. What do these verses teach about submitting to God’s will, even when the path ahead does not seem clear?
One of the main qualities of Abraham was his submission to God’s will. All the experiences of Abraham with God were characterized by this submission.

Choice of the land: A quarrel erupted between the servants of Lot and those of Abraham, but Abraham was not a man to fight with his own flesh and blood. He submitted to God’s will, who again blessed him: “The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, ‘Now raise your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; for all the land which you see I will give to you and to your descendants forever” (Genesis 13:14-15, NASB).
Destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah: When God revealed to Abraham the destiny of these two cities, Abraham, full of love, tried to save the cities. Because there were not even ten righteous persons in the cities, the cities were destroyed. Abraham submitted to the will of God and accepted God’s judgment of these cities.
The Lord was able to use Abraham because of his submission to God in all circumstances. It must be the same with us today.
Challenge: In our cities, we face obstacles in preaching the gospel appropriately and effectively. We need to plead with God to intervene.
Challenge Up: Find a way to contact someone who is being directly affected by a difficult situation similar to your own. Tell that person you are praying for him or her, and ask God to show you what you can do to help.
