PUT ON A JOURNEY! - Knowing The Planned Time Series 012
Matthew 2:1, KJV
"1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
I have hinted on the importance of seeing a sign before you're launched on your journey. There are those who are waiting for a sign that'll give them the go ahead or certainty of restrain towards what they needed an answer for. Is it that you want to relocate or take a new job but you need the sign that'll launch you on what you should do or not do. God will surely speak to you and you shall be able to decipher in truth and in honesty what God wants done. Such is the testimony of the magi.
They didn't carry a step until they were put on their journey. They didn't presume to journey. As a matter of fact, they didn't know where to journey to but at the signal or appearance of Jesus' natal star, everything was clear to them. They found the compass and knew exactly where to journey to from the East where they were. The East (Babylon) to Jerusalem isn't a little journey and they couldn't have picked such specifics on where God wanted them to travel to or be if they haven't received a signal or notification for their directives.
God will not hide Himself from you also. He will come to you. The magi asked, "where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
Ask yourself, how did they know he is a king and even of the Jews? You see, all those are details unraveled in the interpretation of Jesus' natal star. We know these magi are also astrologers who have special knowledge deciphering what the stars mean.
They interpreted correctly and the journey to Jerusalem began! I pray for you that God will intimate with you. If God does not give you any sign, you might stay there and keep waiting and wasting time. But once your sign or signal appears, you're armed for progress even when it is a restraint or a "no" that you got for an answer.
That singular phrase, "for we have seen his star in the east" is the beginning of all they did. Without having seen Jesus' star first in the east, they wouldn't have taken a step outside their native land. Warn those who are relocating without having seen the 'star' in their native land first of all. Warn those the 'star' didn't beckon on or tell to undergo a journey who are planning great things and dreaming of big steps. The journey God didn't author or the one the Holy Spirit didn't call you to embark on will mostly be a disaster. You're a Christian. You have a prophetic destiny. Do well to follow the prophetic outline.
Many times, people launch out of their own accord yet wants the wisdom of God on the way. For instance, when Herod could have outsmarted the wise men, God appeared to them and told them not to return to Herod. Do you know why God is committed to them, so much more that He gives them information they didn't pray or ask for? It's because He was the One who launched them out at first. As such, He has to see to what He started when by Jesus' natal star He launched them out. Don't expect God's wisdom or aid on the way over the project or journey you chatted and started in your own wisdom. However, you can be dependent on Him like this magi who won't take a step until they had seen and interpreted correctly. If you're waiting to see, hear or know, you're your Father's (God's) son/daughter. He will come and not tarry.
PRAYER: You will come and not tarry Lord. I will know what to do at every juncture in 2025.
