PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY - MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT.June 22nd, 2025
GOD PREFERS THE LONGER ROUTE.
Brethren, the Holy God whom we serve, has the power and the capability to give our needs immediate attention, remove all obstacles, and make us whole in an instant. He demonstrated this power several times in the Bible. This is why many of us do not understand why our loving Father will not solve our problems in an instant. Why allow us to pray continuously, endlessly without answers? Why do we need to suffer more to reach our goal or heart desires? For example, in an instant, "When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea." (Act.8.39-40.NIV). BUT THE LORD LOVES THE LONGER ROUTE.
The distance between Egypt and the promised land was 40 days journey but it turned to 40 years of waiting. The Lord could have wiped away all their enemies that they wouldn't need to fight with or without weapons of war, but No, God did not completely wiped their enemies away. The God who called Abraham to leave his father's house and follow Him could have given Sarah children in an instant. After all, He put clay together in form of man and gave it His breathe. But she had to wait till she was 90 years old. Job had to lose everything for God to reinstate all. Why?
1. To be totally stripped of our old man.
2. To dismantle every thing that was self-made.
3. To rid us of every thread of pride, arrogance
4. To lead us to total dependent on God.
5. To ensure that God gets all the glory and praise.
6. To sharpen our knowledge of the enemy and his strategies.
7. To teach us how to overcome on our knees.
8. To experience suffering to be able to empathize with suffers.
9. To teach us to look only unto Jesus as the Author and Finisher of our Faith.
10. To shape our character.
Moreover, our Lord suffered, we should not expect less.
THE WORD: "To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps." (1 Pet.2.21.NIV)
