Deuteronomy 1 v. 6-8; 2 v. 1-3;
“You have compassed this mountain long enough” – The Lord is concerned about stagnancy in your life. Stagnancy is being caught up in focusing on and repeating the same thing, even if it is a good thing, and dwelling passively in the same status quo; while other challenges await you as commanded or as promised you by the Lord. He wants you to keep moving forward and continue making progress on this journey of faith. Is there movement and progress in your life and in your experience and service of God or are
you stagnant, compassing the same mountain all the time? Pray about things which are at a standstill in your life or in the church.
Deuteronomy 1 v.7,8; 2 v. 24, 25; 3 v. 1-3:
The reason God rebukes stagnancy in your life is that He has made you promises that require you to continually move forward and take new ground, whether spiritual or material, in achieving or in your service of God. It is time to repent from a life of ignored promises. Satan wants you to be apathetic and satisfied with the way things are but God wants you to be fired up – constantly praying for and moving forward into things He commanded or promised which you have not yet possessed or realized.
Deuteronomy 3 v. 3-12:
God wants your life to be an exciting, challenging life of action; making progress in fighting to possess and to achieve the things He promised you or sends you to do for Him. When you get into this manner of life, you will constantly have new testimonies of the working of God.
Think On Philippians 3 v. 12-15:
No matter how long you have walked with God, there are always higher things He is calling you to through His promises and commands. Today repent from stagnancy and adopt this mind that you will go forward and take your journey into new challenges and blessings according to God’s Word.
