Sometimes you are delayed just because you haven’t learned the lesson that God wants you to learn…

Sometimes you are delayed just because you haven't learned the lesson that God wants you to learn…

 

Joshua 5:6

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

 

You can never go to the next grade until you've passed your current grade. Each grade has its own curriculum and everyone is required to pass that curriculum in order for them to progress to the next. Your life might feel like its rounding in circles and you're not progressing only to find out that there are still a lot of lessons that you haven't learned because every situation presents an opportunity for you to learn a lesson and pass it.

 

The children of Israel were rounding in circles in the wilderness for forty years just because they had to learn the hard way that the voice of God needs to be obeyed. Amazingly what took them 40 years to learn took 40 days for the King of kings Jesus Christ to learn who was in the very same environment (Matthew 4:1-11).

 

I always say if God has granted you the opportunity to wake up in the morning then that means you still have a chance to change your ways. USomandla uyalalelwa!!!

The enemy will always pursue

The enemy will always pursue

 

Exodus 14:8

And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand

 

As much as the devil doesn’t get tired the mighty hand of the Lord also doesn’t get weary. Therefore we shouldn’t be found resting instead we should pray without ceasing (1 Thes 5:17).

 

I can only imagine the excitement of the children of Israel once they thought that once they went out of Egypt it was all over. Only to find out that it was only the beginning. When pharaoh pursued after them he knew that they were going to reach a dead end (the sea) but what he didn’t know was that the Lord that they served was a God who turns a dead end into a resurrected beginning.   

 

Maybe you’ve just come out of one problem only to find out that there’s another one waiting for you. I want to say to you it is not the end for you. No matter how much satan pursues but you serve the most high God the God of resurrection and His high hand never gets weary.

There are people who speak before the child is born.

There are people who speak before the child is born.

 

Zacharias was made dump because of his unbelief and as a result of that the child had to be born first before he could be allowed to say anything to anyone. There are people who speak before the child is born and there are those people who speak whilst not believing that the child could be born.

 

Luke 1:20

And, behold, thou shalt be dumb, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words, which shall be fulfilled in their season.

 

Angithi uNkulunkulu wamzala umntwana uJesu Kristu emuntwini? If God was able to produce Christ from an ordinary human then it is evident that so many more miracles can be fulfilled by God in our lives in His season. The child Christ has to be born within you first before you can talk about or see the miracles of God and faith is the only way for Him to be born within you.

 

Nicodemus thought there was a certain formula or maybe a cash payment but to his surprise he was referred to the child being born again (John 3:3) in order to enter the kingdom of God. So if you are one of those who speak whilst not believing what you preach be careful! and again if you are one of those who speak before the child is born within you be careful! because it very dangerous to speak about the things that you do not know.

Productive love

God’s love for us achieved countless things and what I have learned from it is that we shouldn’t just end by saying we love each other but the love that we say we have for each other has to achieve. Uthando lwethu ludinga ukuzuza.

 

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

If our love is non-productive then where are we headed? Do you know that 10 years could pass without any achievements whilst someone is saying “I love you”? It’s similar to saying “our church is a great church” whilst we haven’t achieved much from it. 

 

God made flowers so that they could flourish and He created trees so that they can produce so we need to have actions that will achieve.
