THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE PART 3

 Exodus 7:16(And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear). 

 

Life indeed is a journey; and it can be very frustrating if you don't have the picture of where you are going; and those who have no bearing are wanderers. Those who are still in bondage have not begun their journey yet because they are held bound in chain and satanic prison. We are not here on earth to be a speculator, we are here for a serious business; and serving God is a serious business. Luke 2:49 (And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business)? Business is about exchange of goods and services with the intention of making profit in return. God has power to set you free and to give you inheritance as his sons and daughters but Satan is a slave master he uses people without anything in return; he is a user of men, an abuser, and a bully. Our God is not a user of men; in fact he rewards those that diligently seek Him (Hebrew 11:6). God has an offer for the Children of Israel; freedom and wealth in exchange for service. Many have choose freedom and wealth without the service and that´s the reason why they have fail their wilderness exam and sold themselves back into slavery. You cannot be without service because you are here on earth to serve; the issue lie on who you choose to serve; and this have become a serious matter today. You may ask, Nene, but God is a Supreme God; He is the creator of the universe; why does He need to explain to Pharaoh the reason for His children's freedom. They are slave and they need to be delivered from the hand of their slave master; Adam sold man into slavery; but God choose the tribe of Israel to bring salvation to man and it won´t be without a fight. It is still happening today, Satan has held people that are meant to serve God, that are meant to bring glory to their generation in bondage; they are now serving Satan instead of God.  God said to Pharaoh, let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. Wilderness is a place of service unto God; we are to use our wilderness year to master how to serve God acceptably because it is not all service that is acceptable to God. If your service is not accepted how then would you expect to be rewarded; no one pays for a rejected service. There is a way to serve God; He wants us to succeed and He did not want any of His servants to make a mistake and return to Egypt, that's why He sent them into the wilderness for training. In the wilderness we learn how to follow God, step by step and also how to separate His voice from the voice of a stranger. Your journey here on earth will not start until you are free; how can you move when you are in chains. I pray for someone reading this message now, that is still in any form of bondage; that chain is breaking now in Jesus name. The scripture below tells us how the children of Israel took their journey from Succoth.

Exodus 13:20 (And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. 21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: 22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people).

The Israelite learned how to work with God in the wilderness and pass it on to their Children and that's why the Nation of Israel cannot be exterminated till today. Your wilderness experience is not to punish you instead, it is to teach you obedience because without it you cannot follow and serve God acceptably. Wilderness experience is to teach you how to depend on God for everything. Wilderness is a danger zone, any little mistake can get you killed; the option is to follow God's leading, because there is no other way. Some have been on the journey and made a mistake and have trespassed in a wrong direction and find themselves back in prison and this can be more frustrating because the individual has tasted freedom; but that will not be you in Jesus name. God set the rules of service; the wilderness has a rule and our part is to follow the rule in order to survive and receive our inheritance. Obeying the rules of the wilderness is what will keep the LORD with us because no one survives in the wilderness without Him. Friends, In case you have wandered away and wish to return back; i have good news for you. God's hand is open to receive you back and if you have not started the journey with God yet; congratulations because today is your day of salvation; please quickly join this train by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour and be blessed in Jesus name. 

 

Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
