Hi,
hope the year is panning out as you desire? Don’t forget it’s our year of
harvest even if it seem it’s not yet turning out as you so expect. His word
never fails. I received a word during the last week and I figured out it will
be a great blessing to you too so as to avoid the devils lie in stealing your
faith from the Father’s word.
The
word stems from the story of a nation loved by God immeasurably. They had been
in captivity for so long but the God of this nation was never asleep. He knew
their situation and also plans in accordance for them. While they were in this
condition, the God sought them out by sending a deliverer who He found
deserving as at the time.
The
deliverer came, did varieties of miracles as directed by the master. The people
believed this was God in action. There were proofs beyond physical discredit
that it was supernatural. Unfortunately, as at the time the deliverer came
their travail and pains doubled. It was as if the help sent by the God was not
truly from Him or the God had plans to deal with them the more. In fact, some
passerby would have concluded its either they offended the God or it was the
devil dealing with them.
Just
like a flash of light, after the increased burden, there came the freedom they
had desired for a long time. The freedom didn’t come ordinary, they went away
with every good thing their task masters had. They were not just free, they
were free and blessed. How relieving!
Don’t
be too excited yet. After a little walk into the freedom, they came across the
Red Sea again. The red sea is a huge stumbling block that seems to have no way
to sail through by any natural standard. More so, beyond the Red Sea, there was
a shorter route to their destination but the God chose to take them through the
longer one to instill obedience. This brought about the journey.
After
the liberation was the Red Sea and then the journey. At the Red Sea, they
retorted and felt it was better they had died in captivity. However, the God
took them through miraculously. Even at that there was still the journey. The
journey felt like it was never going to end.
Friend,
where are you? Do you ask yourself that question “am I sure it was God that
brought me here?” The situation feels so hopeless and you feel it’s better you
go to where you were before, even though you know it’s a place of captivity.
That there is a “seemingly unconquerable” red sea ahead doesn’t mean God didn’t
lead you there. Remember after the freedom from Egypt, there was still the Red
Sea and after the Red Sea, the journey.
