You must pursue what God has told you

"You must pursue what God has told you!" – Dr Raoul Wafo, October 14, 2026

Imagine a child who grows up in a palace. There are servants, feasts, an elite education and a future already mapped out. He lacks nothing. Yet one day, something begins to stir inside him. It isn't a whim, it's an inner force pulling him toward his people, enslaved just steps away from his golden walls. So he chooses to leave everything behind to go and deliver his own.

That child is Moses.

The Bible tells his story in several places:

• Acts 7:23: "And when he was full forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brethren the children of Israel." (KJV)
• Exodus 2:11-15: Moses goes out to his brethren, sees their hard labor, then has to flee to Midian.
• Hebrews 11:24-25: "By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season." (KJV)

Moses didn't leave the palace by chance. He followed a calling.

Two Key Words: Pursue and Speak

1. What does "pursue" mean?

The word comes from the Latin and means to go after something, to carry on an action, to seek to reach a goal. In personal or spiritual life, it evokes three things:

• Perseverance: not giving up on your goal at the first obstacle.
• Consistency: keeping on moving forward, even when the result isn't yet visible.
• Intentionality: directing your efforts toward what you want to achieve.

2. How does God actually speak to us?

There are two main ways:

1. His written Word, meaning the holy scriptures.
2. His Word revealed to people, which can take several forms:

• dreams;
• visions, for some;
• an idea that insists strongly in your mind;
• a chance event in daily life that leads you onto a path;
• a meeting;
• a conversation with someone;
• advice out of nowhere, from a person you sometimes may not even know.

And this isn't a closed list. God is creative when He speaks to His children.

In Short, What Should You Remember?

1. Pursuing what God has told you means accepting that your promise will very often be fought against. The road is sometimes strewn with pitfalls, even extreme pain. Moses lived it: leaving the palace didn't lead him to comfort, but to the desert.

2. Challenges don't mean God has let go of you. It is sometimes the painful process of giving birth to your destiny. What is being born demands effort, and pain is not a sign of abandonment.

Stay strong, we're in This Together ❤️

If you have received a word, an idea that won't let go of you, or a calling you can't silence, don't let it die out. Keep going, even when the result isn't yet visible. You are not walking alone: we're in this together.
