WHEN CAN I MOVE OUT FROM HOME

 WHEN CAN I MOVE OUT FROM HOME 

A Timely Question On The Minds Of Many 

Moving from home is an inevitable phenomenon of life — even animals practice it. One time, my Pastor said, “The purpose of training (raising a child) is to release them.” Truly, it is God’s will that when the time is right, you can move out by spiritual and superior guidance, which in this case is by receiving counsel and confirmation from your Pastor and Shepherd.

  

Jesus moved from Nazareth to Capernaum, on the northern shores of the Sea of Galilee, to set up His ministry base. From there, He could encircle the shore towns of Galilee to preach, with miracles — the supernatural — following. Unlike Nazareth (His hometown), where He could do no mighty works as a minister because His own brothers did not believe in Him, the Bible records that unbelief hindered His ministry there (Mark 6:1–6). Remember also the story where His mother did not mind interrupting Him for His attention during service (Matthew 12:46–50). So it's clear that moving out of home was a necessary stage of His ministry but that was when He was about thirty years old, when He was really ready to face the world. 

Forsaking this counsel of moving out when the time is right, will impede your dependence on God and the mighty works you can do. This right here is bible wisdom: you should not be comfortable living in your parents’ house for so long, especially as a minister of Jesus Christ, when you've finally come of age. Until this occurs — thus, leaving your mother and father’s house — you cannot fully cling to your wife, which symbolically represents the flock Jesus gave you, His bride, the Church (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31–32), which is the primary calling of every new creature, called to feed the flock of Jesus Christ (John 21)..

Make up your mind that when the time is right, you will move out of your father’s house, like God said to Abraham: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you” (Genesis 12:1). This is so that you do not struggle juggling fatherhood (and supply) betweenbetweenTy the physical one you have and the Spiritual One, Almighty God. 

I know this by experience — and it is biblical too. It just has to be the right time. This is so important for your sanity, growth and expansion in many things — your helped imagination that comes from trusting God’s fatherhood with no shared options heightens when you move out of home when the time is right — remember, God sent His Son to die for the world not because of the volume of evil man was committing, but rather because the right time came for that to happen — you too, when the time is right, move out for your effectiveness as a minister of Jesus Christ. 

This principle is non-negotiable, but it must be guided by the authority above you, especially if you are a young minister, because moving prematurely could expose you to severe temptation and many foolish hurts. Talk to your Pastor when you sense the time is near; he will guide you on what to do, and how to run on God's calendar. Hallelujah!
