THE DIVINE WAY MAKER (2)

"...Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow THE LORD WILL DO WONDERS among you'" – Joshua 3:5b

The Lord God of Israel – the DIVINE WAY MAKER – showed His wonders at the Jordan Crossing: “Joshua told the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow THE LORD WILL DO WONDERS among you'" (Jos.3:5). The story of the Israelites crossing the Jordan River is a masterclass in Divine Possibilities. They faced an “uncrossable” obstacle as the Jordan was at flood stage during harvest time (v.15). Yet, the Divine Way Maker, doesn't just improve existing paths; He creates new ones where none exist, changing “no way” into a “highway”: “Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and ALL ISRAEL crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan” (v.17). Praise God! No one was left behind!

Like in most settings of Divine Possibilities, there was a human side to the partnership: Consecration – setting oneself apart, purifying heart and mind (v.5). Major shifts often demand consecration. Holiness precedes honour. God is holy, and His moves and wonders often follow moments of introspection, repentance, and alignment with His Will. Consecration is our part; Wonder is God's part. Beloved, to seek a breakthrough tomorrow, let’s “wash our clothes" – consecrate, repent and purify our hearts – today.

Also crucial, was God’s Presence, signified by the Ark of the Covenant leading. The people were commanded to follow the Ark (v.3). This means that human strength is insufficient to face impossibilities. We must follow God's Presence, not our intellect or fear. Where His Presence leads, the Way Maker opens paths. The flood waters may look dangerous, but we must keep our eyes on the Ark: we follow the Word, not the flood. In stepping into the Impossible, the priests had to carry the Ark into the rushing, overflowing waters before they parted. Faith requires action. We may be waiting for the water to part before we move; God is waiting for us to step in before He acts.

Faith moves forward in God’s timing! It takes the first step and acts on His promise, even if the “Jordan” is still flooding. Our step of faith is the trigger for miracles. Curiously, God didn't just make a shallow stream; He made the riverbed “dry ground” (v.17). When God creates a way, it is a complete, stable, and total victory. Like the priests stood in the danger zone, trusting God's protection until the last person crossed, we can stand firm in the crisis – in the middle of the challenge – knowing God is protecting us while we walk through it.

In Jesus’ Name I decree that:

I receive the Grace to consecrate myself for a life set apart for God's Glory! Every "Jordan" of impossible barrier in my path dries up now!

I receive the Grace for speed and restoration of lost years! My “tomorrow" shall be filled with the wonders and amazing acts of God!

There is a total reversal of any negative report in my career, health, or finance! Henceforth, my life will point to the awesomeness of God!
