BRINGING WATER OUT OF THE ROCK: EXODUS 17:4-6

Psalm 78:14(In the day time also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire. 15 He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink as out of the great depths. 16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers).

Literally, bringing water out of the rock seems so impossible but it happens; God did it for the children of Israel in the wilderness. Those who live in the mainland do not lack water but the people in the wilderness lack water. As we continue our journey here on earth some are still in their wilderness days and being in the wilderness can be so tiring and discouraging. The bible says when he led them through the wilderness they lacked nothing including water (Psalm 84). That means if God is the one leading you He will make provision for all your needs. The psalmist says in Psalm 23:3(He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake). God will not allow you to be put to shame because the wilderness journey is to glorify Him in you. Every great name in the kingdom today has their wilderness days, it is an inevitable part of our journey in life. Some situations may look so hard like rock as if nothing can come out of it; but with God all things are possible. We need to remember that God himself experienced darkness in the book of Genesis at creation (Genesis 1:1-3). He speaks to the darkness and it vomits light; or where did you think the light comes from. Light has always been there because that was the intention of God but the darkness covers it and God has to confront the darkness head log by speaking what he wanted to see and everything he wanted appeared and He overcame. He created us in His own image and He has empowered us to command exploits like Him. I don’t know what has covered your light; I command it to clear off right now in Jesus name. When the children of Israel cried for water in the wilderness; God asked Moses to smite the rock with his rod and it brought out water (Exodus 17:4-6). He would have asked him to smite the ground but He did not so as to prove to us that out of the same hard situation our desired result is hidden there. Friends, look at that situation and speak the result that you desire and ignore the picture that the devil is presenting to you. Look at that situation face to face and declare what you want to see and what the word of God has said concerning you. Those enemies of yours are created by God and He can dislodge their tricks anytime and any day. The same way Satan could not frustrate God because He created him, he cannot frustrate you also. What you are seeing is the raw material for what you are looking for; we can create what we want to see from what we are seeing in front of us by speaking directly to it. Moses has a rod in his hand and God told him that the rod in his hand is all he needs to create what he wants to see. The rod in the hand of Moses turns to serpent and swallows the serpent of the magician. The rod is the word of God and His creative power is in His word. The solution to your problem is in your hand, use it wisely and you will get your desired result in Jesus name. Remember to maintain your joy because without it you cannot draw water out of the wells of salvation (Isaiah 12:3). The rod cannot work in the hand of everybody; you need to have a personal relationship with God before you can manifest His power. Psalm 78:35(And they remember that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer). God is our rock and the only way to get water from Him is to know Him personally. Some people need to remember Him as their rock and reconnect with Him while some need to enter into a relationship with Him; whichever categories you fall into, His hands are open to receive you right now. Hurry up, by praying this salvation prayer below.
