Post date: Apr 15, 2013 4:10:20 AM

Despite your thoughts, fears, doubts, feelings, disappointments, delays, denials in your days in the wilderness, by God’s enabling grace and power, you will attain the mark and goal of God for your live. Your arrival date is getting closer and very certain. The children of Israel did not all end up in the wilderness, through God’s help, they went through it and you will also go through yours through His help. Through God’s provisions, they survived it, you will survive yours, through defends and strength, they had victory over their enemies, you will have yours also. Irrespective of its nature and experience, wilderness experience in the life of a true Christian is temporal, yours inclusive, and it is to fulfill a purpose that ensures the forthcoming blessings of, and in the promise will be glorious and permanent.

“All the commandments which I command you this day you shall be watchful to do, that you may live and multiply and go in and possess the land which the Lord swore to give to your fathers. And you shall earnestly remember all the way which the Lord your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and to prove you, to know what was in your mind and heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. And He humbled you and allowed you to hunger and fed you with manna, which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you recognize and personally know that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the Lord. Your clothing did not become old upon you nor did your feet swell these forty years. Know also in your minds and hearts that, as a man disciplines and instructs his son, so the Lord your God disciplines and instructs you. So you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and reverently fear Him. For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills; A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey; A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you. Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I command you today.” Deuteronomy 8:1-11

Though things are very tough and rough, the Almighty God is able and will take you to the place He had destined, though you are always confused, God will secure your safety till the day of His glory, though things are hard and very difficult, God will give you a breakthrough soon; though humiliating and sad, God will exalt you hereafter; though shameful, God will replace the shame in the day of your recognition and celebration. The road may be rough and winding, difficult and very painful each day and each year to walk through, God is still alive and very active in you and He will take you through them all. Though things may not go the way you dream, think and desire, yet God is not asleep in the things that concerns you, He will lead you to the day He will open your eyes to see His place for your glory at the right destination in the right time.

Never forget that God will forever lead His children irrespective of their location, afflictions, professions, gender, and the names. Never forget that He abides with His own forever; never forget that despite what will ever happen to you in life, God has your best interest in heart and will act accordingly. He will never gamble over your success and destiny. He will never lead you on the wrong path; He will never abandon you despite the obstacles and number of known and unknown foes waiting to destroy you. He will not give you a physical map or a GPS on that route, but He had given you His word, walk in continuous obedience. Wilderness is not a place of residence but a place to pass through and you will pass through in Jesus name. Click here
