Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer!
I am delighted once again to share a message of hope amd encouragement at such a time as this. In this journey of our Christian faith, there are times when we pass through valleys and high mountains of trials and tribulations, but we remain hopeful that our Lord will never leave or forsake us. The title on my message is: "DESPITE THE WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE; WE SHALL ARRIVE AT KADESHBARNEA"
The Bible in Deuteronomy 1:19-21 says, "And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God doth give unto us.
Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged." While I was reading the Bible and meditating on Deuteronomy 1, verse 19 caught my attention which says they left Horeb and arrived at Kadeshbarnea after passing through the frightening and terrible wilderness.This prompted me to realize that when you are determined to achieve something nothing will stop you.
The children of Israel, while being led by Moses suddenly realized that they had stayed long at mount Horeb and it was time to move forward. I just want to also mention that even in our life experiences at times you come to the realization that you have been dormant and stagnant for a long time. Nothing seems to be moving or changing in your life, and you then decide to take a bold step of moving to another level, despite the risks and challenges.
It may be at your work place where you seem to have been doing some routine work for a long time, or it could be in your family, where some of your peers and siblings are doing very well, but as for you nothing is moving. It could be your business, where your other business partners are progressing very well and you are just surviving from hand to mouth.
This must change immediately, after recognizing and noticing that you are still at Horeb, and you are growing old. Such experiences are very common in life. The children of Israel after departing from Egypt, took many years to reach Canaan, a journey which was supposed to take them only two weeks.
The scripture above says when they departed from Horeb, they went through that great and terrible wilderness on their way to Kadeshbarnea. Because the Lord had spoken, they were determined to move until they arrived at Kadeshbarnea. According to history Kadeshbarnea was a place of waiting, spying, surveying and strategizing, before entering Canaan. Kadeshbarnea was also a place of hope and assurance.
Kadeshbarnea was a place of no return. Kadeshbarnea was a place of stability and confidence.
Kadeshbarnea was situated South of Israel, near Canaan. Moses sent Spies from there to go and survey the land of Canaan, before they could enter the promised land. So it was very strategically situated and critical in the Hebrew history. You had to get to Kadeshbarnea, before entering the promised land.
If you want to harvest honey, you must be prepared to be stung or bitten by bees, before harvesting the actual honey.
Good things come after hard labour and sweating.
The Israelites faced many challenges on their way to Canaan. At times they felt like abandoning the journey and go back to Egypt, where they lived and worked hard as slaves. But you don't have to abandon the journey of life.
I want to encourage you that despite the challenges you are currently facing or experiencing even during this Covid- 19 lockdown period, there is still hope for you to arrive at Kadeshbarnea.There is still hope for you to get whatever you need or desire.
I see Kadeshbarnea as your miracle or breakthrough. Therefore be determined to get to Kadeshbarnea, despite the opposition and storms of life.
Wilderness is a place of scarcity and lack. Wilderness is a place of desperation and hopelessness. Wilderness is a place of fearful valleys and mountains. Wilderness is a place of dryness and lack.
But you don't give up or quit even in the midst of suffering and tough situations. Hold on to your faith, you will arrive at Kadeshbarnea. Press on and push, until you get whatever you are believing God for. Don't quit! Don't surrender! Don't give up! Strive to arrive at Kadeshbarnea.
When God has spoken He fulfills His word, regardless of what you might be facing or experiencing in life. Remember, He watches over His word to perform and does not fail. ( Isaiah 43:2, Isaiah 55:10-11, Numbers 23:19-20, Hebrews 10:35-39, Hebrews 13:5-6, Romans 8:37-39, Genesis 28:15, Deuteronomy 31:6-8, Malachi 3:6, Mark 11:22-24, Ephesians 6:18, Luke 18:1).
Whatever you are going through in your marriage, relationship, family or business, don't give up until you get to Kadeshbarnea. Your breakthrough is imminent like
Canaan the land of promise. Whatever it is it shall be over. Remember, it is not over, until He says it's over.
Canaan the land of promise. Whatever it is it shall be over. Remember, it is not over, until He says it's over.
Once again remain focused and determined to arrive at Kadeshbarnea, in the name of Jesus Christ.
May God richly bless you richly!
