Pleas the Lord, oh my soul and all that is
-
within me, plus his holy name, Sharon Beloved. My name
-
is Amanda Baidu from Harvest Chapelain International Dayamiko Marsi, and
-
I'll be facilitating today's morning glory devotion. Kindly, let us
-
pray our Heavenly Father. We thank you so much for today.
-
Thank you for such a beautiful mourning and the opportunity
-
to study your word. We ask that you open the
-
eyes of our understanding and help us to imbbe this
-
word and grant us the grace to apply its truths
-
to our lives. In Jesus, Amen be love at Please
-
let's take our confession from the Book of Joshua, chapter one,
-
verse eight. This book of the Law shall not depart
-
out of my mouth, but I shall meditate in it
-
day and night, that I may observe to do according
-
to all that is written in it. For then I
-
will make my way prosperous, and then I will have
-
good success, Amen Beloved. Our topic for today is titled
-
our Guide in the Wilderness, Our Guide in the Wilderness,
-
and our scripture reading is taken from Deturnomy, chapter eight,
-
verse twelve to seventeen. When you have eaten in our
-
phone and have built beautiful houses and dwelling them, And
-
when your heads and your flocks multiply, and your silver
-
and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have
-
is multiplied, when your heart is lifted up, and you
-
forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of
-
the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who
-
led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which
-
were fiery serpents and scorpions, and festy land where there
-
was no water, who brought water for you out of
-
the flinty rock, who fed you in the wilderness with
-
manner which your fathers did not know, that He might
-
humble you, and that he might test you to do
-
you good In the end, then you say in your heart,
-
my power and the might of my hand have gained
-
me this wealth. Amen, our guide in the wilderness, beloved.
-
What a blessing we have in Jesus. What a privilege
-
it is to walk through the maze of life with
-
God on our side guiding us every step of the way.
-
The scripture highlights the genie of the Israelies. Through the wilderness,
-
they encountered a lot of dangers fiery serpents, scorpions, luck,
-
and fear. It is interesting that after God delivered them
-
from slavery and bondage in the hands of the Egyptians,
-
instead of taking them immediately to the Promised Land, he
-
led them through a wilderness. During this period, he taught
-
them about himself and also about the condition of their hearts.
-
He revealed their addiction to idolatry, disobedience, doubts, sins, pride,
-
and also taught them that He is a provider, a protector,
-
a forgiver, a teacher, and a guide. Brethren. Life is
-
sometimes like a wilderness, where there are many dangers, scarcity, anxieties, luck, enemies,
-
and all manner of troubles. But just like the Israelites,
-
even after God has delivered us from the Kingdom of darkness,
-
we can still go through different wildernesses of our own.
-
But we can take comforts from the facts that just
-
like He didn't abandon them, He will not leave us alone, Beloved.
-
No matter how hard our wilderness seasons are, God still
-
has a purpose for us. He often uses those seasons
-
to teach us how to depend on Him and how
-
to be separated and consecrated onto Him. So let us
-
not be discouraged. We have the Lord on our side,
-
and he will be our guide. He wants to train
-
us to build a relationship with him where we are
-
totally dependent on him, more than what we can get
-
from his hand. He yeens for us to seek his face.
-
We must be willing to die to the self in
-
whatever wilderness we find ourselves in, and tend to depend
-
on him true, letting go of all the idols in
-
our hearts, like the pride of life, the last of
-
the flesh, and the last of the eye, exchanging our
-
old selves for our true identity in Christ, Jesus be
-
love it. The Lord will be our guide, even in
-
the wilderness, protecting, transforming, and providing for us, until we
-
become like Him in our hearts and in our lives.
-
Shaloon our memory. Ve's is taken from Isaac chapter fifty eight,
-
verse eleven. The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy
-
your soul in drought and strengthen your bones. You shall
-
be like a watered garden, and like a spring of
-
water whose waters do not fail. Amen. Please, let's pray, Papa.
-
We thank you for this reminder that in whatever season
-
we are, you are still our guide, and you will
-
help us to navigate every tough season in life. We
-
pray a record that you teach us to truly abandon
-
ourselves to you, that we may be transformed daily to
-
become like Christ in Jesus' name. Prayer with thanksgiving, Amen,
-
Thank you so much, beloved for tuning into today's morning
-
glory devotion. Kindly stay tuned for more spirit filled content
-
and have a blessed day. Shalon
