ÔSetyour house in order, for you shall die, and not liveÕ (2King 20:1)
After overfour hundred years of bondage the children of Israel did not depart from Egypt just any way. At the time of their departure from bondage, Godled the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the Children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out ofthe land of Egypt Ex. 13:18. Because God was leading, there hasto be order in place. At every time He is in a position of leading in ourlife.Ê It has to be according to His order. Are you allowing Him to take theleadership? Do you assume that He is leading when you are not letting Him? Godis waiting to take a lead in your life. Are you willing to move according toHis order? His order is direction. It is the password that will access you toyour breakthrough in the journey of life. In the area of life you have beenfacing opposition, hindrance, confusion, or every other forces of stagnationyou need to retrace your step.
Ê~Disorder~
Walking indisorder can take life. 2Kin. 18:4-8 pointed out all that Hezekiahdid. God was leading Him and he was able to remove idols, broke their sacredplaces; he trusted in the LORD God of Israel; he held fast to the LORD; the LORD was with Him. Ê2Kin. 20:1Hezekiah became sick and near to death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz,went to Him and said to him,Ó Thus says the LORD: ÔSet your house in order, foryou shall die, and not live.Õ Ó Are you dying fromlack of order? Turn your face to the LORD and pray. Hezekiah did, and God heardHezekiahÕs cry.Ê God added fifteen more years to Hezekiah. It is never too latefor you to cry to Him for your life to be restored.
Walking indisorder will deny you from getting to the promise land if you let it. Numbers20:2 Now there was no water for the congregation of Israel; so they gatheredtogether against Moses and Aaron. In verse 7, God gave Moses directionto be carried out in order. ÊMoses was to speak to the rock; he went and spoketo the people by calling them rebels in (Verse 10). Out of GodÕs order is outof GodÕs ordination. Moses was to lead the Israelites to promise Land.He was denied because he went out of the order that God gave him. He did not getto the promise land. Moses was a giant in the LORD. It is a serious issue andit has to be taken with serious attention. It does not matter how strong orweak you are in the LORD. Whenever disorder sets in your journey, you will beoff set in that Journey. God in His goodness and mercy will keep you fromtaking a step of disorder.
~Calendar~
Ex.12:1,2 Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, ÒThis month shall be yourbeginning of the month; it shall be the first month of the year to youÓ. This is an indication of a changein calendar. God gave them a new order of month arrangement. ÊGod was about tomove them out of years of bondage. It was time for change.Ê The old way of readingtheir months was to be replaced by a new way of reading their months. God wasabout to exchange their calendar with a new
calendar. Itwas a calendar for a new beginning in their journey. A new calendar will give anew purpose in life, a new testimony, a new direction, and focus on thegreatness God. God changed their calendar.Ê The angel of death passed throughthe land without touching them or any of their belongings. God can change yourcalendar for good and for better. Where ever hundreds, tens are falling, youwill remain standing. He is not a partial God. God is a perfect God. God is aGod of new beginning. I pray this day as you set your eyes on this good news,God will start a new calendar in your life and in every area that concerns you.Great is His faithfulness. I pray that the newness of His mercy shall be added untoyou in Jesus name.Ê
