The reason why many are still in the same place is because they have been paralysed by fear; they refuse to put their confidence in God. Jesus Christ said to the disciples; have faith in God. Our Faith in God is the only weapon to disgrace the Goliath of our destiny. Many great destinies have been crushed by fear; God did not say that will not be challenged but He promised to see us through and make sure that will not be hurt. Challenges are a way of building up our trust and confidence in God. In this kingdom there is no jumping of classes, you must pass every promotional exam in order to move to the next class and every promotion is earned based on our trust in God; you just have to trust Him. Personally, I pray about everything and if things don't turn out the way I expected after prayer, I believe it is for my own good; that there is something hidden in there that I am yet to see. Why? Because I trust God completely and believe that He can never go wrong and cannot lead me to destruction. When things don't go well it must be my fault and I need to introspect in order to figure out what could have gone wrong. Maybe there is something that I need to get right about my life. One thing David does is that he never forgets the goodness of God in His life and he never ceases to tell those who care to know how wonderful his God is. That pleases God´s heart and He called him the man after His own heart. The way to maintain God's overwhelming presence in our lives is to always remember His goodness in our lives and continue to meditate on it; that is how to conquer fear. That if God did it before He will do it again. He is still the same God and He has never changed and He will never change. Many are busy complaining and asking God why? The question should be directed to yourself and not God. God never promises us challenge free life but he only guarantees that he will not leave us nor forsake us; He promises to walk us through it (John 16:33) (Mathhew 28:20) .
Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. 5 Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
Did the water overflow the children of Israel? No; instead the Egyptian lives were given for their sake. Exodus 14:14 (The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. 15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: 28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them. 29 But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 30 Thus the LORD saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore).
Did fire burn Shedrach, Meshach and Abed-nego? No; instead their accusers' lives were given for their sake. (Daniel 3:23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. 25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God).
If Moses and the rest refuse to enter the river; they would not have crossed over into their promised land and they will either die or remain in bondage forever. And if the three Hebrew boys worshiped the image of king Nebuchadnezzar; they would have perished in hell and would not have been promoted nor won souls for God. But their trust in God has made them start forever. Jesus showed up as the fourth man in fire and that was his promise; He parted the red sea and the river did not overflow them because that was his promise. Friends, dare to enter that fire that is stopping your progress and you will see Jesus Christ waiting for you there but until you enter you will not see him; dare to put your feet in the river you will see the invisible hand of God parting the sea for you to cross over. He is waiting for you to trust Him; Faith is believing what you are not seeing physically; God is there, but you just have to believe that He is there. The father of that young man said to Jesus i believe but help my unbelief (Mark 9:24); sometimes we just need to ask for help; surrender to Him; ask Him to help your unbelieve and you will move forward, in Jesus name. You can't trust a stranger nor will God fight for a stranger; you need to be born of God. Become a daughter and a son of the most High God today by praying this salvation prayer below 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 saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
