-Thus far

Almost one and a half years ago the Lord finally said "it was time". Well an year and a half prior God has convicted my heart that he wanted me to get into full time ministry. This really confused me so much i mean i was in this really demanding job that not only demanded my full time concentration but also more so almost 99.99% of my energy. I hardly had the time, let alone to serve him by worship through going to church. I am a Praise and worship lover and i find so much joy and peace just lifting up my hands to the king of kings and worshipping in his presence... And here is a job that i loved doing and one that i had walked to through his help. So how was really God expecting me to serve him while we had walked this path to-ge-th-er to start with?Exodus 13:17-22, "And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go that God didn't lead them by the land of the Philistines, although it was the more direct route to Canaan; for He said, 'In case the people become discouraged when they have to fight, and they return to Egypt'. So He led the them by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea: and the children of Israel went out of the land of Egypt in ranks. Moses took the bones of Joseph with him for Joseph had charged the children of Israel, saying, 'God will be with you; and you shall carry my bones away hence with you'. And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, on the edge of the desert. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; so they might travel by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people".God never left them physically as much as faith was in use to the Isralites God basically came down to personally lead them through the wilderness to there promised land but guess what? In spite of all this they murmured, they complained oh and they remembered Egypt! How often do we remember our Egypts? Even after God has crossed us through the red sea! Aha! He comes through for us and we go like "definitely that's you God" and just as fast do we forget. We start saying things like if we were in our previous positions we would have been better of, oh we had assurance of employment, oh we had hopes of a harvest etc and right there God says "take another lap through your wilderness, until you realise that i am God." God has your whole feature soughted if only you trust in him. He does not get you out of the known to the unknown to mess you up. He always got it covered! So as i took the step of faith by trusting God to fly me across the globe my trust was in him. At times it felt as if i really wasn't sure of what i was up to but I'm glad that the bible reminded me to stand still and trust on the master! Thus far i have seen God work in me and for me! His cloud and pillar of fire has been with me through my wilderness! And my prayer is that i do not take another lap! As he uses me to get to millions through his ministry my prayer is that my focus does not waiver to the right nor to the left but focus be on only him! And yes i can clearly say thus far it has been the Lord.
