Christ Before You
by Apostle (Prof.) Johnson Suleman
Bible Reading: Deut. 21-24
Text: “The LORD your God which gieth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes.” – Deuteronomy 1 :30.
When the Israelites left Egypt for the Promised Land, God chose their route and led them through the wilderness. He did this by the pillar of cloud by day pillar of fire by night. The term ” Christ before you” talks about Christ guiding and leading you (Rom. 8 :14).
Child of God, the world is a wilderness and we are on our to heaven. There are alternate routes in the form of choice and decisions for moving on in life. You cannot make choices being led by the flesh, by your sight, by your feelings or even just by your mere senses (Prov. 3 :5 – 7). Remember, not all that glitters is gold. Your adversary, the devil is prowling, seeking a careless and straying child of God to devour (1 Pet. 5 :8).
Psalms 114 :1 – 7; reveals that nothing can stand before the presence of our God, be it sea, mountain or hills. With Christ going before you, obstacles will clear out of your way because of the awesome power of His presence. Enemies pitching battles against you also get crushed in the presence of Jehovah, the Man of War (Deuteronomy 1 :30). Now, how do you get Him to lead you? Psalms 25 :9; says, “The meek will he guide in Judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.”
The meek is the one who has the power and ability to fight but refuses to. He is not who has the power and ability to fight but refuses to. He is not just gentle, he has all it takes to hit back and to crush, but refuses to. He is like a tamed horse. The meek is submissive. Do you want to enjoy divine leading so that God can go before you? Then, be prepared to be meek.
Prayer: My Father! My Father! As I begin to pray, I surrender myself totally to you; direct my affairs in the journey of my life.
