Friday 15 November A WAY THROUGH YOUR MOUNTAIN Memory Verse: Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19 Read:Exodus 14:21-28 21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaohs horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, 25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 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. Message Another response to progress challenging mountains is to climb it. This will require a lot of effort, energy and perseverance. In Numbers 13:30, when the children of Israel were faced with a mountain on their way to the Promised Land, Caleb told them, Let us go up at once and possess it. It is good to climb your mountain. In fact, there is a sweet feeling when you are on top of your mountain. Take for instance when David stood on top of Goliath in 1 Samuel 17:51, he felt on top of the world. There is a joy derived from standing on top of your mountain. Yet, to be able to stand on your challenges, you must first realise your spiritual position and placement in Christ and strive to enforce powers vested in you. If you are ignorant of this, standing on your mountain may be a mirage. In the name of Jesus, from now on, you shall stand on your mountains. Besides climbing the mountain, you may choose to dig a tunnel through it. The implication of this is that, even though the mountain is still physically present, you will be on the other side. This was the experience of the Israelites when they got to the Red sea while fleeing from Egypt. They could not go forward, and they could not go backward. But when Moses raised his hands, God caused an East wind to blow all night so as to create a way in the Red sea. The sea was still there but a way was in it (Exodus 14:21-28). To bore a hole through your mountain, you will definitely require the help of the Holy Spirit. However, you could also handle a mountain by blasting it out of the way. This involves the use of a dynamite to tear it down. In Joshua 6:20, when the Israelites faced the wall of Jericho, they went round it as instructed and shouted, and God sent dynamite from Heaven and it tore the fortified wall into tiny bits - reducing it to rubbles. To experience this, you must be prepared to receive instructions from God on how a particular mountain should be levelled and adhere strictly to it. You must also be prepared to send your high praises to God so that He can send a dynamite to pull down your mountain. ActionPoint Ask God to make a way in the wilderness for you
