MEMORY VERSE:
Exodus 33:14.
“14. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.”
BIBLE READING:
Isaiah 43:19.
“19. 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.”
Thinking Point:
Every forms of wilderness need our involvements to attain freedom.
Welcome to a new day filled with God’s favour and His Grace upon all your endeavours in Jesus name, Amen.
Yesterday we discuss about wilderness and God making ways in the wilderness. Today, I would like to speak about diverse types of wilderness in a believer’s life. Yes, wilderness have different forms according to individuals. These types of wilderness has been categorized into three types which are;
1. God’s wilderness.
2. Individual wilderness.
3. Parental wilderness.
Of all these wilderness, the most easiest to handle is God’s wilderness. God can put us through a wilderness in order to prove a point, either to Try us or Refine and prepare us for where He is taking us to.
Job
Dwelling on God’s Wilderness, from the life of Job chapter 1 and 2, we read how God permitted Job to entered into a life time wilderness without his knowledge. God was tryin to prove to satan that, Job will be faithful till the end, that he will never turn away from Him no matter the wilderness he may be faced with. This is an example of Trying Wilderness, God was trying to showcase Job’s Uprightness and perfection, and He did scaled through the wilderness. In such wilderness, it’s God that determines our way out of the wilderness.
‘Abraham’
In the case of our Father Abraham, he was not able to cross the Trying Wilderness easily, Genesis Chapter 16. It took thirteen years silence between God and Abraham to speak again, Genesis 16:16 – 17:1. Another short wilderness season came for Him to be tried when God requested for Issac to be sacrificed and this time around, our father came through the wilderness of life.
‘Joseph’
Joseph’s Wilderness wasn’t a trying wilderness but Refining wilderness. He was suppose to unlearn the attitude of loose and untamed mouth before becoming whom God has ordained him to be. He needed to learn the language of Egypt in order to rule over the land. He was refined and was presented to be the second in command in Egypt.
Many Christians are going through this wilderness. A wilderness of trial and refining, we only need to make Him the focus to scale through this wilderness. If we will not submit to His leading we might end up in the wilderness. Many Israelites entered into the wilderness but couldn’t see the end because they couldn’t submit to the leading of God. I pray today that, may we be able to submit to His leading in our wilderness in Jesus mighty name, Amen. All we need to do is to surrender to His leading in the wilderness like Joshua and Caleb did and we will see the end of the wilderness.
Father, help me stay put in this wilderness you’ve placed me. I don’t want to end up in the wilderness, help me come through it in Jesus name to Amen.
Good Day and God Bless you.
