*CAC LIVING WATER DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE*
*Saturday, March 28, 2020 - Earth Hour*
*TOPIC:*TAKE YOUR JOURNEY*
*Read: Deuteronomy 2:24-25*
Deuteronomy 2:24-25 Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass over the river Arnon: behold, I have given into thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land: begin to possess it, and contend with him in battle.
This day will I begin to put the dread of thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that are under the whole heaven, who shall hear report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in anguish because of thee.
*MEMORISE: Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God (Hebrews 12:2)*
*EXPOSITION*
Our God is progressive and excellent in all His dealings. He can never fail, neither can He be limited or made to stop what He is doing. Neither the devil, nor any of his angels, can set a limit for God. He is unquestionably sovereign (Psa. 115:3). When He bears you, He makes sure you reach where He plans for you. When you go with Him, you can't end it half way.
In the journey of Israel from Egypt to the land of Canaan, one thing is constant. They occasionally got divine prompting to break camp and move forward. What is that saying? God is progressive. May you not stop until you are where God has destined for you, in Jesus' name. How-beit, to enjoy divine progress as a child of God you got to be progressive, as well.
Are you progressive like God? 'Progressive' in this context is saying you don't have to be limited or static. It is anti-God when you are going back (retrogressing) instead of going forward. God has a "There" that He is taking His children to. He is more than able to achieve it, provided they are cooperating with Him. He told the Israelites through Moses their leader, to take their journey, that is, they had to move on. To go from the "here" of God to His "there", you need the movement mentality. No challenge must make you to want to stay somewhere, permanently.
Abraham was constantly on the move, " looking forward" (Heb. 11:10; NLT), and even, Jesus who authored and finished our faith was on His toes from the beginning till He finally seated at God's right. Receive the divine push you need to further your journey into the destiny God has for you, in Jesus' name.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. O Lord, I receive the Holy Spirit momentum to keep pushing forward until I reach the very peak of Your programme for my life.
2. Lord, don't let me fail, fall and falter in doing Your will and bringing glory and honour to Your name.
3. Lord, spur Your church on in pursuing the course of taking the gospel to the ends of the earth.
