STOP LIMITING THE LORD.

JUST THINKING

God blesses people in different ways. The way He blessed, healed, delivered and rescued you last time may be different from the way He will do the same for you today. Many times, some people miss it because they think that He will use the same pattern, platform, method and people to do His will. God is progressive but the results are still the same. It is the same holiness, same righteousness, same healing, same heaven and the same Jesus. He deals with us differently but having the same goal in mind. 

Joshua 4:23 NIV says, "For the Lord your God dried up the Jordan before you until you had crossed over. The Lord your God did to the Jordan what he had done to the Red Sea when he dried it up before us until we had crossed over".

Exodus 14:15-16 NIV says, “Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground".

Joshua 3: 15 -16 NIV says, “Now the Jordan is at flood stage all during harvest. Yet as soon as the priests who carried the ark reached the Jordan and their feet touched the water’s edge,  the water from upstream stopped flowing. It piled up in a heap a great distance away, at a town called Adam in the vicinity of Zarethan, while the water flowing down to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea) was completely cut off. So the people crossed over opposite Jericho”.

The Lord parted the Red Sea and the River Jordan for the Israelites to walk through but He used different ways or method to path both of them. He told Moses to lift his staff and stretch his hands over the river (Red Sea) and the Red Sea parted ways. But with the River Jordan, He told Joshua to order the priests to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord into the river.  And when they did, the River Jordan also parted ways. In both occasions, the Israelites walked through the Red Sea and the River Jordan on dry lands. This shows that our God is mighty. So, do not limit Him in your mind concerning His promises towards you. 

To avoid limiting God, you need to realize that He is not like us who think that the blessings will always come in the same way. If He used someone to favour you yesterday, he may not use the same person to favour you today. God does not work that way.
