“…And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward” Exodus 14:12-16
“… Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him” Genesis 26:1-4,12-14
In our theme scripture, God told the Israelites to move forward. He did not recognize any limitation. God thinks differently and this should be our mentality. God wasn't looking at the sea like it was a problem. God told Moses to tell the people to go forward and that Moses should divide the sea.
In life sometimes there are obstructions, crises and seeming limitations. The Solution to that challenge or problem has already been programmed into the one facing it. You’ve got to learn that for some challenges, you can talk to them and they will get out of the way; some you should push down while others, you close your eyes and walk through them
BE PREPARED – HAVE A “MOVING FORWARD” STRATEGY
Deuteronomy 2:3 “Ye have compassed this mountain long enough:turn you northward.”
When the Spirit of God gives us direction, the secret is to learn how to take advantage of it. The important thing is take immediate action, do not procrastinate or postpone it because you will not get the benefits of it early enough for you to build on it.
The challenges that come to us are for our promotion in life. They are some that were predestined to come our way; that's why we must always be prepared. In your life, have no fears. You've got to go forward, make progress and advance. Do not complain about the systems. When God blesses you, you become a blessing and God's blessing is irrespective of where you are. Stop seeing your problems, see God.
Make progress; move forward! Nothing can come against you. Wax greater, gaining and gaining. My life will be an inspiring story of success and victory; a story of what Christ can do in and through the human body. We are born to shine; lights of the world; shining from glory to glory; I come with solutions; I have been impacted with blessings to bless the world; every step I take is a step of blessing; this is my life.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night; that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success” Joshua 1:8
The Word of God says in Matthew 12:34; that Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. In Proverbs 18:21; it says that Death and life are in the tongue and those that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. What controls your heart controls your mouth (words) and eventually controls the course of your life. To move higher in God and in the things He has called you to do, there are things you must do to walk in the path of your destiny in God.
` Walk in Love: Be kind to people. Your relationship and attitude to other people is important. God takes interest in our relationship with one another. Be a builder of men, a helper; walk in love. Be a man or woman of no offense (Matthew 5:23 -24). Whatever you give attention to, you become better at it. Practice kindness; use the right words when you communicate with others. Treat people right; watch your relationship with others. God tells a man that cares. When you care about others you will receive insight and then foresight into the future.
Be humble: Humility is yielding to the Word of God. It’s when the Word of God becomes law in your heart. It is giving His Word pride of place in your heart and subjecting yourself to the Word of God in all you do (Psalm 37 – Study).When you are humble, God gives grace to you.
Testify (Malachi 3:16): Learn to share testimonies. Don’t be a bearer of bad news but that of good news (Romans 10:13 -15). Share the testimonies of the great things God has done in your life and in the life of those around you.
Be a faithful steward and custodian (1 Corinthians 4:2): Faithfulness with what you have is a strong reason for promotion. Take care of things that have been put under your care. Attend faithfully to whatever you do and as you do this, God turns on the light in your spirit to receive inspiration and ideas. Then He begins to open doors in accordance with the inspiration He’s giving you. And whatever God needs to do to put you in that place that He spoke about, He will do it speedily.
To move higher in the things of God and most of all in your relationship with Him, you must give quality time to the study of His Word. It is also important that as you study the Word you commit yourself to doing what the Word has said concerning you in all situations no matter the circumstance. Let the Word of God be your constitution for life. The Word of God says in James 1:22; But be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only; deceiving your own selves. You are a doer of the Word
