A WORD IN THE DESERT
A word from God can change the course and destiny of a person no one knows about so much so, that it will turn them into a well-known, front-stage, mouthpiece for a national shift. All it takes is a word from the Lord!
Luke 3:2-6 during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, son of Zechariah in the desert. 3 He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Before this time, John probably would have been known as a peculiar soul. He lived out in the desert, his clothes were made out of camel’s hair, he always wore a leather belt and he ate locusts and wild honey for food. Based on his outward looks, you would never have guessed that he was a nation changer. But because of a word from the Lord look at what happens.
Mt 3:5-6 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. 6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
His life was so powerful that our Lord Jesus Christ said of him, "Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist, yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. (Mt 11:11)
God's instructions are crucial to your future and ministry! Don't despise the hard times in life. Most of the time, it is in the desert places you will find God. You will find that preparation for the most significant increases in your life will usually occur in the desert times of your life!
The plan God has for you is wonderful, and he is longing for it to come to its full fruition! You can be sure of this, you are very important to him, and he is planning a date with you; a divine and an appointed time! He has a word for you, and it will come in due season. Are you in a desert place in your life? Do you feel like life is stretching you? Does this season of your life seem dark and confusing? Do you feel like you need of a refreshing to get you through? Be ready, keep your Bible and communion with God as the highest priority, because, like John the Baptist, a word is coming; God is getting ready to give you…
