Zion Church | The Pathway to Success Part 11 | Pastor Keith Battle

It's a picture of the darkness and spiral of a man who has the blessing on him but doesn't have the spiritual habits to steward it. And some of y'all been listening to this series like you don't need it. Because in your mind, you're already successful. In the world's eyes, you're already successful. But I got news for you, so was Lot. I said Lot was successful too. [00:33:00] (30 seconds)  #BlessingNeedsStewardship

You know what Lot reminds me of? He reminds me of the prodigal son, and the reason why he reminds me of the prodigal son because the prodigal son left the father, he took the bag but he left the father. Oh, don't miss that, don't miss that. He took the bag but he left the Father. Some of y'all are chasing a bag but you're leaving the Father and it's gonna get you. You don't have to leave the Father to get a bag. [00:33:50] (29 seconds)  #ChooseFatherNotFortune

Because the difference between Lot and Abram is not opportunity, it's habits. And if you're in one of those two categories, well, why why would I come out public to get my spiritual habits in check? It's for one word, accountability. Accountability. You say it in front of the family of God, I need to get this right. Because if you stay where you are physically, I promise you, you're gonna stay where you are spiritually. And your pride and your privacy are gonna keep you in spiritual inertia because pride is a prison. [00:38:47] (33 seconds)  #AccountabilityOverPride

I'm not just gonna make your neighborhood prosperous. I'm not just gonna make your house prosperous. I'm not just gonna make one spot prosperous. Wherever you go, prosperity must come. Wherever you go, the blessing has to come. Wherever you go, people got to treat you like they supposed to treat you. Wherever you go, doors gotta open. Wherever you go, my way, my way, my way.

Now guess what happened when he moved into Sodom? They got they got ambushed. Several kings came and captured the city, took everybody in the city, he was a prisoner of war, verse chapter 14 verse 12. They took him and all his stuff. Why? Because he moved into a place that he never saw God about. Right. He never went to church. He never even went to the altar. He never that one part of the agenda. Right. It made good business sense, Not good bible sense. Come on. And I'm saying the two ain't always in conflict, but he never sought God. So now he's a prisoner of war, lost everything.

But here's the miracle y'all, Abram heard about it. Abram heard about it. Now check this out y'all, Abram had 318 servants in his house. Now think about that. Can you get 318 people in your house? He had 318 people that worked for him that lived in his house. That's how that's how lost he was. We could this is all to say, none of them had ever fought before. He turned them into an army, went and fought against the people that had ambushed Sodom and Gomorrah, got all those people back to safety, got all their stuff back. So now watch this, Lot has now got his stuff back. [00:26:20] (35 seconds)  #FaithMobilizesVictory

Their whole lives were in separate different understand, they both were rich. They had so much wealth that the land couldn't hold them. Now you know you blow up and we too big for the city. Our staff argue with each other, let's just split up and take over more land. Some breakups are for are for progress. watch where Lot's life goes Oh my. And where Abram goes, and the only difference is his habits. [00:24:46] (31 seconds)  #HabitsDefineDestiny

I don't know who your lot is. I don't know what your lot is. It might be a person. It might be an attitude. It might be a mindset. It might be fear. It might be a stronghold. But the blessing of the Lord is being held up until Lot takes an exit. [00:22:01] (25 seconds)  #RemoveYourLotToReceiveBlessing
