At The Back of The Mountain-In The Desert

Matthew 4 Exodus 3:1 Immediately after his Baptism in the River Jordan, Jesus is led by the spirit of God into the Desert. This is very critical because when God spoke of Jesus as his only begotten son, this made Jssus a potential target of elimination by the enemies of God. Hence inorder to preserve, protect and save Jesus for his appointed day and time, God had to take Jesus in the wilderness or the desert. Both the wilderness and the desert are designated places of alone. But Jesus was not alone in the desert but he was rather witj the spirit of the leaving God. He was in the desert with the spirit of God being fully engaged in both divine intercourse and divine discourse. Moses the great prophet who was used of God to deliver and redeem the sons of Jacob out of bondage in Egypt, was found running away from Egypt to the back of the mountain in the desert/wilderness. Moses was running away from a people that he deemed a threat to his life. After having killed someone , who was an enemy of the people of God, he well knew that the enemies of God would look for him and kill him. Thus to save, protect and preserve his life till his appointed time and day , Moses had to be led at the back of the mountain into the desert. Both casual and natural observers of the life of Moses saw a man behind the back of the desert. Being interfaced by the surface of the mountain and they deduced that Moses was going through hardship, darkness and roughness. However there is something else that escaped the natural eyes of human observation. And that is, while at the back of the mountain in the dersert Moses was having an encounter with the living God. An encounter that was designed by God so that Moses would experience a divine intercourse and a divine discourse from the living Gof Almighty. The resulting effect of this unique encounter at the back of the mountain in the desert would eventually turn Moses into a burnimg bush fire. A fire that would burn and destroy those who are enemies of Moses. Infact the enemies of Moses after his encounter with God Were able to watch moses but unable to destroy him. And if they ever dared to destroy him God would strike destruction unto the enemies of Moses. Its possible that you have been removed from a place of comfort and now you find urself in a place of alone. Life has now become rough, dark and hard but there is something else taking place amidst all the rough, dark and hard experiences of your life. What is taking place is that you are having an encounter with living God Almighty. This encounter has been orchestrated by God for you to have divine intercourse and divine discourse with God Almighty. This encounter is fundamental to your divinely appointed time because after this encounter your enemies will not be able to touch you , and if they try to touch you then they will be destroyef of God Almighty. It’s true, that you feel alone but that which you define as alone is the very presence of God. Many times than not when God is gettting ready to show up in your life in order for you to have a divine intercourse and a divine discourse with him, God will remove people away from your life. So that there can be some sort of privacy and intimacy that can only endure when its just you and God Almighty Himself. Leading you at the back of the mountain in the desert will introduce you to a rough, hwrd and dark season in your life. When this occurs many people will desert you and talk ill about you because they think you done and dusted. But its all part of God’s divine plan to turn you into a consuming fire against the enemies of God and the enemies for life of you. When Jesus eventually walks away from the desert/ wilderness , Jesus does so in the power of the holy spirit. Performing mighty signs, wonders and miracles. The devil had failed miserably to defeat Jesus and years later when the devil tried to strike Jesus with death , Jesus destoyer death by rising up from the dead. Further more when Moses comes from the back of the mountain in the desert. Moses emerges in the power of the spirit of God and encounters the enemies of God with signs, wonders and miracles. The pharoah had the power to touch moses but he would not and when he attempted to forcefully touch moses and the people of God , the Pharoah was destroyed in the Redsea. Its undoubtedly that you have a rough, dark and hard season in your life. But this season has been designed for you to have divine intercourse and discourse. And you will eventually come out of this season in the power of the spirit of God. The enemies of your life will not be able to touch you and if they try God will destroy them. On the very face of things , while moses is looking after the flock of Jethro in a desert . Its seems and appears as though Moses is going through hardship, roughness and darkness. Howevet at the back of everything Moses is having an encounter with God. An encounter for divine discourse and intercourse. And at the end of this very encounter Moses is able to walk away in the remdemption and deliverance of God. Jesus is ij the wilderness and he fasting 40 days and nights , and after all of that he walks away from the wilderness with the power to redeem and to deliver. Everyone around you can only seem to see what appears as though is hardship, roughness and darkness in your life. But the people around you donot see what is at the very back of the hardship, roughness and darkness that you are enduring. Behind the face of the darkness, roughness and hardship that you are facing is an encounter with God designed for you to have a divine discourse and intercourse with God. The end of this experince will bring you redemption and delivetance from God Almight. With no doubt you are going to walk in redemption and in the deliverance of the Almighty God. Demonic forces will tremble at both your voice and at your presence. Demonic systems will crumble down at your voice and at your presence. A people who did not know the joy of the lord will come to the knowledge and understanding of the joy of the Lord. And in unison they will say, “this joy that i have the world did not give and the world cant take away”. God is about to give you some things that the world cannot give you. They cant give it to you and they cant take it away. Infact the world will not believe what God is about to give to you. They will ask how is it possible for you to own such things. And you will respond ,”with God all things are possible.” The moment God declares that Jesus is his begotten son , thr spirit of God has got to whisk Jesus away to the wildeeness-to a place the enemies of God cannot touch Jesus. This so because the divine declaration upon the life of Jesus in the event of his baptism pitched and marked him as an enemy target. There is a divine declaration of God upon your precious life and God had to whisk you away into the desert behind the back of the mountain to preserve you for such a time to come. The reason why the enemy cannot touch you is in regards to the fact you have been whisked into the desert by the spirit of the living God. Soon you will come out of it in the power of redemption and deliverance. To deliver and redeem the people of God out of the dungeons of despair. The enemy wanted to cut you off because you are the supply chain of redemption and deliverance unto so many called the people of God.

Torah’s Heritage

Isaih 57:17 The aforementioned powerful passage expresses a deep reverence for the Torah and its divine protection. It speaks to the unassailable nature of divine law and wisdom Here's a breakdown of the passage's core message: "Every weapon sharpened against Torah shall not succeed": This implies that any attempt to undermine, negate, or harm the Torah (which represents divine teaching, law, and wisdom) will ultimately fail. It suggests an inherent strength and resilience in the Torah that cannot be overcome by adversarial forces. "And every tongue that is rised up against Torah shall be condemned.": This extends the idea of protection to verbal attacks or criticisms. Any speech or argument brought against the Torah will not only fail but will also face condemnation or judgment. "It shall be condemned because it shall be held up in suspension even before it makes it way in the direction of Torah.": This is a very vivid and profound image. It suggests that the condemnation is not just a consequence after the attack, but that the very attempt to speak against the Torah is pre-empted and neutralized before it can even fully articulate itself or reach its target. It implies a divine intervention that prevents the assault from gaining any traction. "This here is the heritage of Torah from Hashem -The Lord God creator of the Heavens and the earth.": This final sentence attributes the Torah's invincibility and protection directly to its divine origin. It is a "heritage" from "Hashem," emphasizing that its authority, truth, and resilience come from the Creator of the entire universe, making it fundamentally unchallengeable by human or earthly means. In essence, the passage conveys absolute faith in the divine origin and eternal truth of the Torah, asserting that it is divinely safeguarded against all forms of opposition.

God Took Sides With Me

Genesis 37:18-20 Genesis 4:1-16 Isaiah 54:17 A lot happened in the early stages of the life of Joseph the Dreamer. And it’s important to understand that nothing was his fault. Indeed and infact, it’s amazing that Joseph was carrying the glory of God upon his life but his brothers didn’t celebrate this truth. They observed Joseph and saw the glory of God upon his life and instead of celebrating him , they were instead filled with envy and jealousy. It was envy and jealousy that inspired the brothers of Joseph to attempt to kill Joseph. They wanted to kill Joseph because they would not stand the glory of God upon the life of Joseph. It seemed easy to attack Joseph instead of attacking the glory of God on the life of Joseph. But nevertheless the Glory of God upon the life of Joseph was able to save Joseph. Additionally, every move that the brothers took against Joseph only worked to push Joseph closer into his place of destiny. Consequently, whatever the devil is trying to to do inorder to delay, and sabotage the will and purpose of the glory of God rested upon your life is only but pushing you closer into the place of fulfillment. Just like the brothers of Joseph were not able to terminate the destiny of Joseph, they will not be able to sabotage and terminate your destiny and purpose. There is something that has got to be said about the feelings that people catch and get every time they observe the glory of God upon your life. The feelings are a mixed reaction of envy and jealousy. The same evil and Jealousy that Lucifer experienced when God chose mankind to be the crown prince of all things creation and formed. This mixed reaction of envy and Jealousy inspired Lucifer to develop and cultivate rivalry and enemity with man and with God. The envy and jealousy that people get when they observe the glory of God upon your life inspires them to try and sabotage your life. However because God chose you to carry his glory in the earth, God will also fight for you and defeat that tactical sabotage of those who are envious and jealous. In fundamental essence no weapon sharpened against you shall succeed and every tongue that rises against you shall be condemned. This is the promise given by God to those who carry his glory and are able to publicize it. God took sides with Abel and this was clear at any given observation by cain. Cain begot envy and jealousy and these two mixed feelings inspired Cain to kill Abel. The moment God chooses you , God leaves a mark of his divine glory upon your life. When people see this mark on your life it will trigger envy and jealousy which wil inspire people to try and bring about trouble in you life but God will fight for you. When God fights for you there is no doubt that you will both win and overcome all manner of adversity. Fear not and be of good cheer. God took sides with Jesus and he waas hang up on the cross and killed because the world wouldn’t stand the glory of God on his life. But because God was fighting for Jesus , he was able to overcome even death. When God takes sides with you it means that he has chosen you to carry his glory upon the earth and to also publicize it. God is going to remove you from the place where people are envious and jealous of you to the place where you will be admired and celebrated. The glory of God upon the life of Joseph aroused envy and jealousy among his very btothers, but the same glory aroused admiration from a foreign people. Foreigners will celebrate and hold you in high esteem as much as in high regards because of the glory of God upon your life. All you have to do is to remain humble even in the very place of adversity, and hostility. The Lord God is still activately involved in the business of exalting the humble. While aslo bringing to shame the haunghty and the lofty.

Envy, Jealousy and Hatred- Understanding the Human Condition



Genesis 4

Genesis 37:18-36


The brothers of Joseph , sat about and discussed and came to the conclusion.


The conclusion was to kill their own brother Joseph.


They wanted to kill Joseph because they would not stand the favor of God upon the life of Joseph.


The favor of God upon the life of Joseph was so intense that it influenced his ability  to dream about what his destiny and how his future was supposed to look like.



However as much as his dreams were very impressive his brothers were displeased by the dreams that were commercials of the future that was supposed to come.


As the tension against Joseph grew in measure.


The brothers decided to kill him in hope that Joseph and his dreams would come to nothing.


They threw him into an empty pit so that he would die due to the dangerous conditions in the pit.


After a lengthy while, the guilt of leaving Joseph to die in the deep and dark pit influenced the brothers to opt to the idea of selling Joseph into slavery.


Killing him was going to be unbearable a guilt in comparision to just selling Joseph as a slave.


This is all happening to Joseph because of the favor of God upon his life.


His very own brothers find Joseph unbearable cause of the favor of God on his life.


The favor of God upon the life of Joseph stirs up Envy, Jealousy, and Hatred in the center of the inner recesses  of the brothers’ minds and spirits.


At this juncture, do you realize that many times than not you walk into a room and people begin to be unsettled: this is so because they cannot stand the favor of God upon your life.


Its in this moment that you should understand that the favor of God is too heavy on your life cause even folk who do not know you well are filled with Envy, Jealousy and Hatred just because you expressed yourself.


It just so seems that the Almighty God does not just talk with you but he also walks with you.


Needless to wonder that your presence ushers an earthquake impact in the kingdom of darkness simply because you showed up.


The first murder to ever be recorded in Bible Belt was between  two brothers - Cain and Abel.


Abel obtained favor from the Lord Almighty and as a result Cain who did not recieve the favor of God decided to kill Abel.


Envy , Jealousy and Hatred entered the heart of Cain and he killed his brother Abel.


The favor of God upon your life will attract many haters against you life.


Some people will hate even your very existence.


Joseph was revered by many in Egypt while in the house of Potiphar for only his physical appearance.


But the moment it dawned unto them that the favor and the hand of God was on the life of Joseph:- Envy, Jealousy and Hatred was expressed against Joseph.


In refusing to submit to the situation that was created by Potiphar’s wife , the hand of God on the life of Joseph was revealed.


In offering a worthwhile sacrifice unto God the favor and the hand of God was revealed on the life of Abel.


This revelation aroused Envy, Jealousy and Hatred in the heart of Cain prompting him to kill Abel.


Interestingly the devil hates you so much to the extent that he would want to kill you at any given chance.


Simply because the favor and hand of God is upon your life.


But God won’t let it happen. 


Because there is a purpose and an assignment for you to accomplish on the face of the earth.


Envy, Jealousy and Hatred are human conditions that react to the revelation of the hand and favor of God upon a given individual.


People hate you for no obvious reasons and you wonder why: well it’s because of the favor and the hand of God rested upon your life.
