Way To Canaan

WAY TO CANAAN< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 33:12-17

 

There are giants on the way to < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Canaan; they are agents for the enemy and they do nothing but wait for your derailment. God has placed you in the right track, but the enemy wants to derail you. On the way to Canaan, you cannot and should not just take to any way because any way will not lead you to any-where. Despite GodÕs calling of Moses as the shepherd to lead His sheep out of bondage of over four hundred years, he could not make any move without asking for His way. He did not assume any as a right way. Moses always asked God for direction. Exodus 33:13, ÒNow therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people.Ó With MosesÕ requirement, it is evident that in the way of God, there is: Ability to know God, and there is also the grace of God. The way of God is the way of going up from where you are now. He has brought you out of the house of bondage in attempt to take you to the Promise Land for your inheritance. When He brought you out, he also put all in place for you to get to the promise land. All you have to do is endure the challenges of the giants along the way. When you begin to fail in hearing Him, you have entered the way of termination. Exodus 33:14, ÒAnd He said, ÔMy Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.ÕÓ The word of God is God and His word is His presence. When you spend time in His word, His word will have a place in you. You will be in the right placement in your journey to the promise land. 

Pursueant

PURSUEANT< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 14:1-9

 

Despite all the miracles and the demonstration of GodÕs hand before the eyes of Pharaoh and his people, they could not release the children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel to a permanent freedom. They let the children of Israel go because of the heaviness of GodÕs hand upon their land. Releasing the Israelites, the Egyptians turned around and began to pursue them. After all the years that God had brought you out of all that represented Egypt, Egypt has not taken a step back behind you; Egypt is still pursuing you just like it was for the children of Israel. The agent of Egypt (house of bondage) is closely behind you in an attempt to terminate the calling and divine schedule of God in your life. For the children of Israel, Pharaoh pursued them. He could not let go; he wanted to take them back as slaves. Are you in that situation? Do not to stop your cry unto God when you find the agent of bondage right behind you. The children of Israel cried, and God heard. Joshua 24:6-7, ÒSo they cried out to the Lord; and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Egeypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness a long time.Ó Concerning the representative of Egypt keeping you from your total freedom from the bondage of spiritual stagnation, sickness, financial breakthrough, and marriage problem, God will put darkness between you and that Egypt. Sea will come upon them not just to get them wet, but to cover them so that Egypt will not rise again concerning all that concerns you. It is well in Jesus name.

Order Or Disorder

ORDER OR DISORDER< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 13:17-22; Acts 9:1-9

 

Where there is no order, there is disorder. Where there is disorder, death displays itself.

2 Kings 20:1-2, ÒIn those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him, Ôthus says the Lord: set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.ÕÓ God is a God of order and that is why He expects the life of His creation to be in order. There is none that God called who does not have an order of how to respond in His calling. Has the Lord entrusted you for His assignment? Yes, He must have entrusted you with an assignment and each of His assignments have its order in the pages of His word. It does not matter how small it may look, believe it that God expects you to operate in an order that compliments His word. In any area of your life where order is expected be it your house, your marriage, or in your assigned journey, God will lead you, and you will not fail. When Apostle Paul was on his way to < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Damascus, he heard the calling of the Lord and he received order. Acts 9: 6, ÒSo he, trembling and astonished, said ÒLord, what do You want me to do? Then the Lord said to him, ÔArise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.ÕÓ  When God brought the children of Israel out of bondage of over four hundred years, they journeyed in order. Exodus 13:18, ÒSo God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.Ó Orderliness is vital in the journey of life and it is to occupy in every area of life. Are you having orderliness in all area of GodÕs calling for your life? The way out of bondage, captivity, sudden and untimely death is walking in order of the word of God. When you walk in order, He will lead you.

Let God

LET GOD< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 14:10-31

 

The more you take away your battle from God, the more you give way to defeat. I know that you have never seen or heard God losing a battle in behalf of His children. You also know assuredly that any battle that is lost is the result of not letting God arise in your behalf. When trouble comes your way and you begin to lose your rest, it is an indication of taking your battle away from God. When you lose your rest you fail in being able to stand still. When you are no longer standing still, you are not far from falling down. Many have fallen, many are falling, and many are in the process of falling in battle issues such as financial, health, and marriage, only because they have decided not to let God fight the fight. The Israelites had just experienced what God can do when He fights in behalf of His children, but problem after problem they could not stand or let God. At the crossing of the < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Red Sea, Exodus 14:13-14, ÒAnd Moses said to the people, ÔDo not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. The LORD will fight your battle and you shall hold your peace.ÕÓ Does that sound like this verse is addressing you? Then go and do all that is required: Step out of fear so that you can stand in faith. In your stand, you will then be able to see and receive the accomplished victory. Let God arise on your behalf and the enemy will be permanently and eternally terminated by being scattered. 

Life

LIFE< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

John 10:1-18

 

Have you been saying life is difficult, or have you ever consider life to be difficult?  Life is not difficult and it cannot be difficult; you are the one that has been living life in a difficult way. Life can be challenging, but you can always overcome the challenges of life if you choose to go in the right way, not the way that seems right to you. There is a way to live life and live it abundantly; there is a way to live life and live it with challenges that will not overtake you. That way is for you to enter if you will, in deed and in truth, take the right step and enter. In your entrance, you will not be a pretender and you will stay away from religion. Jesus said in John 10:9, ÒI am the door, if anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.Ó If you have entered that door at any time in your life, and you are misrepresenting challenges as difficulties, ask Him to open your understanding. Also, it could be that you have allowed the thief a place in your life. Jesus warned in John 10:10, ÒThe thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy, I have come that they may have it more abundantly.Ó Does He answer your question? What He has said, He meant it. He has never lied, and He will not lie. Take a moment and begin to trace your steps to be able to discover if you have entered through the wrong door. If you have entered the right door, you are set to overcome the challenges and you will not see it anymore as difficulties because He is fighting your battles. Lift your eyes up unto Him today and ask Him for help. He is a compassionate God and He will have compassion on you.
