THE WAY OF THE LORD - Large Place Series 022
Isaiah 40:3, KJV
"The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God."
Who's not wise enough who has something to bring to others who will not devise a channel by which they will be reached? God won't fall from heaven to reach men. It is men He sends to men. It is men He uses for men. Many times, they are those called ministers. Those who should be known with strict consecration of themselves to God as to be positioned not to shortchange God, the people or themselves in serving as channels.
Whenever civilization hit a place, one major thing that's non negotiable is a road. First of all, a way, a road, a path, a channel, a thoroughfare, a passage, a means that will extend from this end where the journey is beginning to the end it will end must be made. There's no civilization and transportation without roads. Such road must run to and fro. It must connect. It is this road whether it is very motorable or not that'll first provide the reacher the privilege to reach the unreached. The unreached are waiting but what can the reacher do if there's no road at all? So, you might have receive Christ and in your capacity you're praising yourself to have tried and to have been useful. Yet, God is saying, you're mistaken because it's a way and not a highway you've made Him in your life. God is saying, you need to submit your ambition, self love and obsession to follow Him, bear His yoke daily so that the manifestation of all He has for the earth and for you might not be hindered at all but rather revealed through you. All these things you have refused to submit to Him constitutes hindrances to His having your life as a highway and using it for transportation. A way is good but a highway is better. Creating something to pass through is a mercy on its own but how good and smooth sailing is such road? Is it wide enough? In many countries, the problem is not that they don't have roads. The problem and lament has been to have motorable roads. If you ask anyone from a country where their leaders are neglects and have been incapacitated building express or high ways, they'll have much to tell you on how they're suffering. You might have made a way, thank you. At least, God occasionally use you but He often do bypasses you to another also because there's something in your life that's not allowing Him land or rest on you for total possession and use. So, God is always leaving you to depart to another. The same thing that motorists do by neglecting a bad road to take a better one even if it'll mean cost in fuel consumption. You can stop this mandated boycott you usually force on God. It is by preparing a highway and not just a way for the Lord in your life. Give all, surrender all and the Lord will gush through you to invade the earth. None of us just wants to pass through any way, we want a wide, paved, tarred road. One that's large enough as to allow us run in it. This will ensure speed and facilitate easy transportation. It's such highway where vehicles are known for speed you should create for the Lord.
PRAYER: Catch me the little foxes in my life. Lord, widen, pave, tar my life for your transportation. May I be useful in bringing you to men.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Ezekiel 12:1-14:11; Hebrews 7:1-17; Psalm 105:37-45; Proverbs 27:3
