DESERT MOVEMENT

By my dictionary the word desert means, arid barren land especially a tract incapable of supporting any considerable population without an artificial water supply. It also means, an area of water apparently devoid of life. It can also mean, the quality or fact of deserving reward or punishment.
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Moses, Jesus Christ and many others, passed through desert in their lives so that the promise God gave to them was able to be fulfilled. They were able to fulfill their purpose because they were not alone in their desert movement.
Nowadays, we are all passing through one form of desert or the other in our lives. It might be a desert of sickness, it might be a desert of loneliness, it might be a desert of poverty, it might be a desert of no job or no better paid job, it might be a neglect from your boss, it might be a divorce, it might be a misunderstanding or quarrel with your family or siblings, it might be hatred for the good you did, it might be lack of love, it might be lack of shelter, it might be lack of food, it might be lack of proper medical treatment. There is one good thing I have to tell you, no matter the level of your desert, have the altitude that your desert is not for destruction but rather for transformation. Always know that you not alone. At times, God want us to finish our power so that we should recognize Him as the only way out of any situation.
We should have to convert bitterness to sweetness. avoid evil talk against our fellow brethren. Convert complain to joy and happiness. We should convert negativity into positivity. You should know that during this time of desert crossing, God want us to turn to Him completely. Reading much of His word can be of great help during this crossing. Speaking His word can also be of great help during this time.
God has a language which He want us to speak always - positive language, language of converting negative to positive. We should choose life instead of death because we have to choose out of the two.
Father, help us to speak Your language to every situation that confronts us in life at any particular time in Jesus name.
