Topic: When All Roads Are Blocked
Bible Text: As Pharaoh and his army approached, the people of Israel could see them in the distance, marching toward them. The people began to panic, and they cried out to the Lord for help. ….13 But Moses told the people, “Don’t be afraid. Just stand where you are and watch the Lord rescue you. The Egyptians that you see today will never be seen again. 14 The Lord himself will fight for you. You won’t have to lift a finger in your defense 15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving! 16 Use your shepherd’s staff—hold it out over the water, and a path will open up before you through the sea. Then all the people of Israel will walk through on dry ground. Exod. 14: 10-15
A child that is experiencing retarded growth is experienciGng his own road block. A student who has difficulty passing his examinations is experiencing a road block. A wife who is experiencing cruelty from her husband is experiencing a road block. A graduate who has no opportunity to pursue a career of his choice is experiencing a road block. A Pastor whose ministers become rebels is tasting his own road block. A man who marries a nagging wife is facing a road block. So at every stage in our lives, we are bound to experience road blocks. We need to pray to overcome them but more often we need to take specific action to overcome them.
When the Israelites faced the Red Sea, they decided to cry to God (prayers), they complained (rebelled) against Moses but the two methods never worked. God reacted by saying to them “why are you crying to me” when you can take an action. God then gave directives on what to do that would free them from the Egyptian enemies. And the moment Moses did this, they found solution. As the Lord lives, you might have prayed or complained, today God will tell you what to do to overcome your road blocks in Jesus name.
But you must take action specific action. The great Neurosurgeon, Dr. Ben Carson once had two road blocks in his life. He was practically blind but not until the school was moved by the spirit to test the eyes of all their students, he never had solution. Somebody somewhere will be moved to give you solution today in Jesus name. He was always scoring zero in his early school days but later he overcame this when his mother decided to wean him from the Television and redirect his focus to his books; he obeyed and read his books dedicatedly, he and overcame his failure. He became the best. As the Lord lives, you your weaknessshall turn to strength in Jesus’ name.
Instead of praying amiss or complaining persistently to those who cannot bail you out, why not think of what you can do practically to solve your problems. May God give you revelations in Jesus name.
Prayer point: Deut. 29:29 says “secret things belong onto the Lord, the ones that are revealed to us belong to us…”. Ask God to reveal the secret of your destiny to you today.
