Most people only look at the times the devil tempted and taunted Jesus, but did you know that even before Lucipher came into the picture that Jesus went through the same taunts with His brothers? Family will put us through the worst trials ever yet these trials were a preparation for what was to come and like Jesus, when our family baits us we have to be unmoveable. Sometimes we have to just say "no" and take a step back.
Here's how Jesus says "no". John 7:2-8, 2 Now the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was approaching. 3 So His brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do. 4 No one does anything in secret when he wants to be known publicly. If You [must] do these things, show Yourself openly to the world and make Yourself known!” 5 For not even His brothers believed in Him. 6 So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come; but any time is right for you. 7 The world cannot hate you[since you are part of it], but it does hate Me because I denounce it and testify that its deeds are evil. 8 Go up to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.” His brothers were of the world. They didn't believe that He was the Son of God so they tried to bait Him mixing a little bit of truth and pride to try and draw Jesus in. They didn't really want Jesus to go to the feast since they knew His life would be in danger. They didn't even understand that His desire was not to be known. This was a pretest but Jesus understood what they were doing and became UNMOVEABLE no matter how they tried to play Him. He understood His time and season were coming but it was not upon Him yet. Do not allow family to lead you someplace you're not meant to go yet! I know the hardest people to say no to is family, but you can do it! Just like Jesus we have to be unmoveable in what we know to be true. There is a set time for everything concerning our lives but we tend to allow friends and family to move us into places before its time. Be UNMOVEABLE until you reach your time. Do you know Time and Purpose goes hand in hand in the kingdom of God? One cannot be achieved without the other and carry meaning. Jesus knew this and dispite the goading of His family He waited on the appointed time for His purpose to be revealed. He was UNMOVEABLE to the taunts of His brothers that tried to move Him out of alignment with His time and purpuse. Stay faithful. Stay strong. Stay UNMOVEABLE! What you are called to do is not depending on your family or friends. It depends on you staying in alignment with your time and purpose. I hear the Lord saying that this is not the time to be bending or swaying in the wind. Be steady. Be strong. Be UNMOVABLE!
