CHRIST BEFORE YOU
Memorise: The LORD your God
which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did
for you in Egypt
before your eyes; Deuteronomy 1:30
When the Israelites left Egypt for the promised Land, God
chose their route and led them through the wilderness. He did this by the
pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night. In spite of their number,
the terrible conditions of the wilderness and the opposition of their enemies
including giants, they got to their destination by God’s guidance. Praise God!
The term “Christ before you” talks about Christ guiding and leading you. The
Bible makes it clear that:
“For as many as are led by
the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:14
Beloved, the world is a wilderness and we are on our
way to heaven. There are alternate routes in the form of choices and decisions
for moving on in life. As a child of God who has a destination, you cannot
afford to move on just by any route. You cannot make choices being led by the
flesh, by your sight, by your feelings or even just by your mere senses
(proverbs 3:5-7). Remember, not all that glitters is gold. Your adversary, the
devil is prowling, seeking a careless and straying child of God to devour (1
Peter 5:8). In Jesus’ Name, you will not fall prey to him. Many young martial
relationships because they allow themselves to be led by other things apart
from God, their Father.
Psalm 114:1-7 reveals that nothing can stand before
the presence of our God, be it sea, mountain or hills. With Christ going before
you, obstacles will clear out of your way because of the awesome power of His
presence. Enemies pitching battles against you also get crushed in the presence
of Jehovah, the Man of War (Deuteronomy 1:30). Now, how do you get Him to lead
you? Psalm 25:9 says:
“The meek will he guide in
judgement: and the meek will he teach his way”.
The meek is the one who has the power and ability to
fight but refuses to. He is not just gentle, he has all it takes to hit back
and to crush, but he refuses to. He is like a tamed horse. The meek is
submissive. Do you want to enjoy divine leading so that God can go before you?
Then, be prepared to be meek.
Prayer Point
Father, please, in any area I
have jumped ahead of you to make choices outside of your leading, be merciful
and forgive me. Whatsoever pain such action has brought to my life, remove and
make me whole in Jesus’ Name.
