“And the LORD
said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel,
that they go forward:”
Exodus 14:15
This is the secret of the way to go when we face
problems, obstacles, mountains, and challenges. It is said that God’s children
do not have problems, but faces problems. Since light and darkness are not
facing the same directions, they both move in opposite directions. Being the
light of the world because they belong to Jesus, Children of God moves in the opposite
direction to the movement of darkness.
“Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I
am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but
shall have the light of life.”
John 8:12
“Let your
light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your
Father which is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16
When there is storm, troubles all around, pain and
sickness all around, a Kingdom citizen goes forward towards the leading of the
Holy Spirit. The way forward is sometimes forward head on against the storm.
“But the
Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his
horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside
Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of
Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and
they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD.”
Exodus 14:9-10
“And the LORD
said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel,
that they go forward:”
Exodus 14:15
“And Moses
stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back]
by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the
waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea
upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right
hand, and on their left.”
Exodus
14:21-22
“And took off
their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said,
Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the
Egyptians. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea,
that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and
upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the
sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled
against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the
waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, [and] all the host
of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one
of them.”
Exodus
14:25-28
It was the same wind that blew apart the sea for
the Israelites to pass through the Red Sea that blew over the sea to destroy
their enemies. The Egyptians were being rewarded for what they had done to the
sons of the Israelites when Moses was born. The armies of Egypt were drowned
just the way they drowned the innocent Israelite babies.
Here, we see that God gave Israel victory by
telling them to go forward because they were being led by God’s servant, Moses.
When you are following the leading of the Holy Spirit, every sea shall make
way, and every mountain that stands before you shall be made plain.
“When thou
passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they
shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be
burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God,
the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt [for] thy ransom, Ethiopia
and Seba for thee.”
Isaiah 43:2-3
“Then he
answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto
Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the
LORD of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt
become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings,
crying, Grace, grace unto it.”
Zechariah
4:6-7
However if a child of God has missed it, the way
forward is the way backwards to where the steps had been missed while on the
right path. Hence, the saying, “The way
forward is the way backward”. When you miss your way in the journey of
life, the way forward is in tracing back your steps to the exact point that you
missed it, and then reconnect back to God’s path for your life. That is the way
forward in destiny fulfillment. The speed at which you are moving is irrelevant
if you are on the wrong path. The faster you move, the farther you are from
God’s ordained path for your life. Here, the only way forward is turning back
to where you left God, and there you will find Him ready to lead you on the
right path to your destination.
“And when they
found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to
pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst
of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.”
Luke 2:45-46
