The Cloud
Exodus 33:14 “The Lord replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.”
In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, God will personally go with you, He will give you rest, and everything will be fine with you. As God brings us to a new chapter this season, the first thing that is highlighted to us from the story in Exodus 13 is that It Is Not About The Shortest Route. The second thing is If You Are Facing It, Then You Can Handle It. The third thing God wants us to pay attention to is that God Will Go Ahead Of You. And the fourth thing, our only response is to Move With The Cloud.
Numbers 9:17 “Whenever the cloud lifted from over the sacred tent, the people of Israel would break camp and follow it. And wherever the cloud settled, the people of Israel would set up camp.” (emphasis added). I pray that you will see the cloud move and you will have the spiritual sense to follow it. When the cloud settles, you will not keep moving in the Name of Jesus. Numbers 9:18-20 “In this way, they traveled and camped at the Lord’s command wherever he told them to go. Then they remained in their camp as long as the cloud stayed over the Tabernacle. If the cloud remained over the Tabernacle for a long time, the Israelites stayed and performed their duty to the Lord. Sometimes the cloud would stay over the Tabernacle for only a few days, so the people would stay for only a few days, as the Lord commanded. Then at the Lord’s command they would break camp and move on.” (emphasis added).
Numbers 9:21-22 “Sometimes the cloud stayed only overnight and lifted the next morning. But day or night, when the cloud lifted, the people broke camp and moved on. Whether the cloud stayed above the Tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year, the people of Israel stayed in camp and did not move on. But as soon as it lifted, they broke camp and moved on.” (emphasis added). There in was their protection, provision, timing, and sync with heaven.
Numbers 9:23 “So they camped or traveled at the Lord’s command, and they did whatever the Lord told them through Moses.” (emphasis added). This is so powerful, and I encourage you to spend time today meditating on this passage. Acts 2:42 “All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.” (emphasis added). As long as they were devoted to these four components, they were powerful and unstoppable. When you move with the cloud, as in Exodus 13:21, you will make progress both in the day and in the night in the Name of Jesus.
Prayer: Father, as I abide and move with Your presence, I gain grounds, win battles, get traction, and make progress both in the day and in the night, in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen!
The Difference
Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”
Exodus 33:1-3 “The Lord said to Moses, “Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’ And I will send an angel before you to drive out the Canaanites,

Leviticus 26:12 “And I will walk in and with and among you and will be your God, and you shall be My people.” (AMPC)
Yesterday, we learnt that there are two implications to God going ahead of you. The first implication is He goes ahead of you As A Force and secondly, He goes ahead of you As A Guide. Read the rest of this entry
Force & Guide
Deuteronomy 1:33 “…He always goes ahead of you as you travel and finds places for you to camp. In a pillar of fire by night and in a cloud by day, He always shows you the right way to go.” (The Voice)
The interesting thing is that God has equipped you to handle every single thing on that path, every single thing. The moment you embrace your path, you begin to see the solutions to the challenges you are faced with. Read the rest of this entry
Best Path
Psalm 107:7 “He showed them the best path; then He led them down the right road until they arrived at an inhabited town.” (The Voice).
With God, It Is Not About The Shortest Route. However, If You Are Facing It, Then You Can Handle It. Yesterday, we learnt that the battle is fiercest when the road is shortest. And if God is taking you through the shortest route, then it means you are ready for the battle ahead. Read the rest of this entry
The Way
Exodus 13:18 “So God led them in a roundabout way through the wilderness toward the Red Sea. Thus the Israelites left Egypt like an army ready for battle.” (emphasis added)
God’s people were out of Egypt, but Egypt was not out of them. So, God needed to get Egypt and Egypt’s tendencies out of them. Therefore, He took them in a roundabout way. Read the rest of this entry
The Process
Exodus 13:18 “So God led them in a roundabout way through the wilderness toward the Red Sea. Thus the Israelites left Egypt like an army ready for battle.” (emphasis added)
God was opening a new chapter to the nation of Israel. He was moving them from Egypt to Canaan, the Promised Land. A new page was turning, and a new chapter was opening for them. Read the rest of this entry
Grace Elect
Romans 6:15-16 “Well then, since God’s grace has set us free from the law, does that mean we can go on sinning? Of course not! Don’t you realize that you become the slave of whatever you choose to obey? You can be a slave to sin… or you can choose to obey God…”
Isaiah 30:18 “For this reason the Lord is still waiting to show his favour to you so he can show you his marvellous love. He waits to be gracious to you. He sits on his throne ready to show mercy to you. For Yahweh is the Lord of justice, faithful to keep his promises.
G. R. A. C.E.
1 John 3:6&9 “No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him… No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.” (NIV)
God’s Gift To Me, Received By Faith, Available To Everyone, and Comes Through Christ. God’s gift of grace comes through Christ. He paid for it so that you and I can get it as a free gift. Read the rest of this entry

Romans 4:16 “This is the reason that faith is the single source of the promise—so that grace would be offered to all Abraham’s children, those whose lives are defined by the law and those who follow the path of faith charted by Abraham, our common father.” (The Voice, emphasis added)
“…those whose lives are defined by the law…”, what does that tell us? It tells us that even the people who were under the law were living by grace. Read the rest of this entry
