On the Mountain


What does it mean to be on the mountain?
Matthew 14:23 New King James Version (NKJV)
23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. Now when evening came, He was alone there.
The scripture of today edifies us to walk this journey of salvation first individually (so as to grow in the Spirit) and in unison with the brethren (so as to edify each other)
Today we are looking at the aspect of the journey of salvation alone. Understand that this does not mean not fellowshipping with the brethren rather it means understanding salvation on an individual level.
There are instances in the Bible (illustration in the above verse) when Jesus Christ separated Himself from the brethren and went to pray alone on the mountain. Believers, there comes a time when you have to separate yourself from the crowd to personally pray and edify your spirit man.
Disclaimer: this does not mean that the Spirit is not with us or fellowshipping with us.

Romans 8:26 New King James Version (NKJV)
26 Likewise, the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [a]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
In addition, the Word of God instructs us to always pray for this edifies the spirit man and aligns you constantly to the will of God. Look at the following verses;
1 Thessalonians 5:17 New King James Version (NKJV)
17 pray without ceasing,
Psalm 55:17 New King James Version (NKJV)
17 Evening and morning and at noon
I will pray, and cry aloud,
And He shall hear my voice.
What will you get on the mountain?
1.      There is provision on the mountain. Read Isaiah 25:6
2.      There is supernatural calling on the mountain. Read Genesis 22:1-5
3.      Curses, shame obstacles are destroyed on the mountain.
4.      There is an accomplishment on the mountain.
5.      There is restoration on the mountain. Read Mark 15:22

Believers, purpose a fellowship with God on the mountain and understand that a mountain means alone with God in prayer and meditation of His Word.
Be Blessed

Serving God Has Never Been in Vain

Image
Sometimes in serving God we may feel like it's all in vain, like there is no benefit to what we are doing. Time and time again God reminds us in His Word that serving Him has never been in vain. Let us look at a few stories from the Bible that demonstrate this, so that you and I can be encouraged to keep serving God, and serve Him with all we have.  2 Kings 4:1-7 A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.”  2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”  3 Then he said, “Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors—empty vessels; do not gather just a few. 4 And when you have come in, you shall shut the door behind you and your sons; then pour ...

Overcoming the Enemies of Our Destinies

There are enemies ready and armed to prevent us from getting to our destinies. Wherever there is a vision, there is opposition.  Elisha was given by God to Elijah as a servant, and as a result he received a double portion of the anointing on Elijah's life, when Elijah left (2 Kings 2:15). God in turn gave Gehazi to Elijah as a servant, who sadly could not get to his destiny because he was overcome by the enemies of destiny (2 Kings 5:20-27).  As a Christian, be alert as there are enemies out to hinder you from getting to your destiny, and walking in it.  In John's open letter to the churches in Asia, John addresses these enemies: 1 John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life -- is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;...

Secrets of a Blessed Man

Let the Word of God always be your mirror, your map to lead you to your blessings. Though we are blessed through faith in Jesus, we need His Word to show us how to live a blessed life, and enjoy the blessings bestowed upon us. Psalm 112:1-10 Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights greatly in His commandments. 2 His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. 3 Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. 4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness; He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous. 5 A good man deals graciously and lends; He will guide his affairs with discretion. 6 Surely he will never be shaken; The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance. 7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings; His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 8 His heart is established; He will not be afraid, until he sees his desire upon his enemies. 9 He has dispersed abroa...
