God is creating a path for you out of the ‘wilderness’

Rev Gabriel Agbo

I WILL create it for you! I am making a way for you now. New doors are opening for you. New, powerful contacts will be made available to you. We shall attain new heights and make new incredible discoveries. I mean discovery that will lead to recovery. Yes, God will make opportunities spring up for you where they did not exist before. Things we never imagined that they will ever happen for us. That is the power of creation. Wow! Are you seeing what I’m seeing? He said that even if what you have been asking does not exist, He will create it. Praise God!

To create means to bring into existence something that has not been in exiztence. It means to produce, to manufacture, to birth, a new beginning, or to introduce. Yes, he is going to initiate things, moves that will daze you this year. He will create opportunities, openings, and solutions just to bless and promote you. Do you know that God can create positions, events, situations, and circumstances just because of you? Yes, He can. I have experienced that before – God creating an office, a position just for me. I mean an office that has never existed before. And even when men refused that I get the appointment, He overruled and put me in the seat. It is always very interesting to see Him moving in such a very powerful and personal way on your behalf. God has the whole world in His palms. He has the hearts of every man and woman in His control. And when He decides, nobody can nullify. When He opens, nobody can shut. God has blessed us, and it cannot be reversed!

I love how He described this in Isaiah 43:18-19, “But forget all that – it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do a brand-new thing. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness for my people to come home. I will create rivers for them in the desert!” My God! Listen to those great phrases again, “a brand-new thing”, “a pathway through the wilderness”, “rivers in the desert”. Yes, these are the things you should expect from now. It is going to be very glorious!

God is saying that you should forget about the struggles of the past, the pains, the shame, the fears and failure of yesteryear because He has come to change that old story. You will never be ashamed again! And not just that: you will also have to forget about the things you call successes today because what is coming will surpass them. They are nothing to be compared with what is coming. What is coming will be brand-new, sparkling, and phenomenal. They are coming in new packages, with a new mark and form that you have not seen before. Just get ready. He is creating it for you!

A WAY IN THE WILDERNESS

Yes, something brand new and well-packaged is coming to you! God is saying that He will make a way for you in this wilderness. He said that what is coming cannot in any way be compared with what you have known or what He has done in the past.

Now, a wilderness is an undesirable, waste, desolate place. A place that is not habitable. And such places are naturally inhabited by wild animals and usually avoided by humans. Yes, wilderness experience is always a prolonged, unproductive, scorching, difficult, uncomfortable experience. It is always a hard time to understand what is going on in and around your life. Nobody enjoys the wilderness experience. Now, are you in such situation?

God says to you that He is making a way for you! You will see a solution miraculously appearing to you. It will happen supernaturally and suddenly - just like a dream. You know, naturally it is not easy to make a road through such tough terrain like the wilderness because it is usually a vast, unfriendly, dangerous, and desolate environment. But God is saying to you today that He will make it possible. That thing that has taken long and looks so insurmountable like the wilderness will give way today! Just get ready!

The Israelites also went through the wilderness as they were coming out of Egypt heading to the Promised Land. It was very difficult, and they met a lot of impossible situations on the way, but God was always there to deliver them. And the same God will deliver you. Remember, as they hurried out of Egypt that night, being led towards the wilderness, the first major obstacle they met was how to cross the Red Sea.

They sure needed a very powerful, creative miracle there or they will all perish. They were indeed in a very impossible, desperate situation and showed this in the way they “attacked” Moses. They were afraid, confused, and had already ruled out the possibility of their survival. Just listen to what they told Moses: “Why did you bring us out here to die in the wilderness? Weren’t there enough graves for us in Egypt? Why did you make us leave? Didn’t we tell you to leave us alone while we were still in Egypt? Our Egyptian slavery was far better than dying out here in the wilderness!” They had totally lost hope and faith!

Did you read that? Questions, confusion, regrets, blame, doubts, complaint, frustration, anger, and faithlessness put together. And these are exactly what you naturally manifest during a wilderness experience. Maybe you are going through all or some of these now. Please listen. Don’t allow anything to becloud you of God’s presence with you. Yes, they were in a terrible situation; the Egyptians rushing towards them, the Red Sea before them, and the valleys by their side, but God’s presence manifested itself by the pillars of fire and cloud over them. But unfortunately, they didn’t look up. They forgot that. Well, as Moses stretched his staff over the water, a path was instantly, supernaturally created through it, and the Israelite walked through. And Pharaoh and all his army tried to follow suit but were ‘buried at the sea’ as our Navy would like to put it. I see God doing the same for you now. I see a path opening for you and your pharaoh being buried forever in Jesus’ name!
