FAITH CAPSULE: Do you assume that He is leading when you are not letting Him?
2 Kings 20
After over four hundred years of bondage the children of Israel did not depart from Egypt just by any way. At the time of their departure from bondage, God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the Children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt (Exodus 13:18) With God in place as the leader, there is always order in place for the followers. God is a saving master and not a slave master. God leading is by choice not by force. However, His leading is a way of life that is absolutely right and well rooted in orderliness. Walking in His order is a way of life. Engaging a way out of God’s way is taking to a way that seems right. Proverbs 14:12, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.” Are you allowing Him to take the leadership of your journey in life? Do you assume that He is leading when you are not letting Him? God is waiting to take a lead in our life. God is God that acts for those who wait for Him. Are you willing to move according to His order? His order is direction. It is the password that will access all to breakthrough in the journey of life. In which area of life have you been facing opposition, hindrance, confusion or affliction? It is never too late to make a U-turn from every wrong turning and allow the leadership of God to take over. Why not retrace your step so that He may be glorified over your life.
According to the testimonies in passages of the Bible, It is clear that walking in disorder is a direct route unto termination. The book of 2 Kings 18:4-8 reveals the orderliness in the life of Hezekiah. He allowed God to lead him when he removed idols and broke their sacred places. Hezekiah trusted in the Lord God of Israel; he held fast to the Lord; the Lord was with Him. God being with man is the evidence of man being in order. Despite having walked in orderliness, a time came when he could no longer walk in orderliness. Hezekiah’s trust in God departed from him and he could no longer stand against his enemy. God sent Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, to Hezekiah, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live.’” (2Kings 20:1) Are you dying from lack of order? Turn your face to the Lord and pray. Hezekiah did, and God heard Hezekiah’s cry. God added fifteen more years to Hezekiah. It is never too late to cry out unto God for life to be restored.
Prayer for today: O Lord, let every of my step in life be in line with your word of order.
