A lot of times we don’t like separation, but for destiny to happen there must be separation. Many people today have mortgaged their lives because they were unwilling to enter into separation. You cannot avoid separation; it is necessary for you to get to your destination in life. So as you mature in life, you will see that some separations are very necessary if you want to grow and unless you embrace the separation you cannot grow.
The Yoruba speaking people have a proverb that says twenty children cannot play together for twenty years; this is a truth that happens even in the normal system of life. Looking into the book of Gen. 13:5-9, we see that there was strife between the herdsmen of Abraham’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle and the land was unable to bear them together so they separated. Abraham separated for greatness and Lot disconnected into destruction. I want you to understand that there is a difference between separation and disconnection.
Divine Separation and Satanic Disconnection
We see that there was strife between the herdsmen of Abraham’s cattle and herdsmen of Lot’s cattle so this called for separation, Gen 13:8 – 9
“And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we be brethren.
Is not the whole land before thee? Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left”.
Here we can see the strife between Abraham’s herdsmen and Lot’s herdsmen. We understand the critical nature of relationships from this example. When the two men went their separate ways, to Abraham it was separation but to Lot it was disconnection.
When it is not time and you separate from a divine relationship then you have disconnected yourself from your God ordained portion in life. When strife occurs, it’s always a sign of disconnection. So when strife begins in your life never disconnect but wait for separation.
Lk. 15:16 - 17
“And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!”
Disconnection always calls for some kind of suffering so you must recognize the time to separate the passage above tells the story of the prodigal son. He disconnected from the father; disconnection takes place when you leave before your time or when you leave when you ought to stay. When it’s not time for you to separate and you go that means you disconnect. He could have asked for separation but he disconnected and the end of it was much suffering.
Always learn to wait and be sensitive to divine time for you to separate. Sometimes, it takes more faith to wait so always wait enough for God to separate you for your destiny in life. When you disconnect, you don’t disconnect from the person but from everything that the person has. There is a time to separate so, wait well and separate at the appropriate time.
