Exodus 33:13 ( Now therefore I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, show me thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people. )
This is the prayer of Moses, the servant of God, who had seen the acts of God and desired to know His way.
He saw the acts of God in Egypt, and all the wonders he showed to the gods of Egypt, he manifested His power by taking them through the Red Sea on dry land.
God shows His way to the people He has chosen for Himself. Not everyone knows this, which is why many perceive an act of the supernatural as a divine presence, unaware that not all supernatural events are from God.
People’s eyes are blinded to God’s way, which is why they often find themselves in fake churches and fail to notice the risk to their spiritual life.
They see men performing miracles in the name of God and see it as the power of God and a divine manifestation of his presence; even those who don’t know him or his way are showing his acts to deceive ignorant souls.
If you know his way, you won’t serve the marine spirit as God. Satan knows that some Christians can’t identify the original from the fake, so he presented to them a counterfeit to replace the original. That’s why they bow to mammon instead of God and think they’re worshipping right.
The acts of God are being presented to the church in their own way, and men are satisfied as long as it’s supernatural.
How will you believe him if you don’t know his way, or how will you follow him if you don’t know him?
Moses had seen his acts while he took the Israelites to cross the sea on dry land; he saw his miracles of turning the bitterness of Marah into sweetness, he saw the miracle of Pharaoh and his host that perished inside the sea,; he knew that his acts didn’t represent his presence.
That is why he pressed further to know his way and to show him his glory.
It’s unfortunate that many Christians know him by hearsay, but have yet to see God in glory; they don’t have personal encounters with him, they know his acts, but have yet to tread his path.
Receiving miracles doesn’t qualify you for heaven, he might do it to show that he is still in control in whichever circumstances.
If you depend on the miracles that God is performing in your life as divine authentication, you have missed it, or you depend on the miracles he is performing through you as the seal of your calling, you have missed the most important thing.
Some Christians move like a blind person in the desert leading the blind, but if care is not taken, all of them will fall into the ditch.
Those who only see the acts of God but don’t know the way are establishing churches here and there, but where will they lead their follower if they are yet to know the way.
It’s only those who know the way of God that can direct men to his presence, the place of Calvary; it’s only those who know the way that will know what he hates and what he likes.
If I don’t know the way, how will I show others and direct them in the path?
That is why fake churches are trending, for the leader and the founder don’t know the way. Someone might misinterpret Satanism as the way of God and worship Dagon as the God of Israel. If you’re yet to encounter the original, you won’t be able to differentiate whether the fake is offered as the original.
Many are using magic and satanic manipulation to direct men’s lives into believing that they know the way, and their lives are not different from those possessed by demons. There is no way you will encounter Christ, whose glory won’t manifest in your life.
Even when you tell some Christians that there are more things to God than getting bread and butter, and daily provisions, they will say, they know the bible more than you think, what next do you want to present to them?
The way of God is Jesus Christ; without knowing him, you will wander through the wilderness of life without reaching your desired destination.
You can bypass Jesus to enter the realm of miracles, but you won’t bypass him to enter the presence of God. You may receive healing and deliverance in this life, but without knowing the way, you come to the world in vain.
It’s only the crumbs that you will be given, not the food meant for the children.
Unfortunately many are rejoicing that they see the crumbs to eat, not knowing that there is more to get from the table of the children if they desire to know him intimately.
They come to the church but do not move further to enter the main sanctuary in the inner temple.
It was only Moses who desired to know God’s way in their journey through the wilderness, he knew that there was more to God than parting the sea and supplying the table.
But others are just satisfied with the daily supply of manna and meat.
God finally showed himself according to Moses’ request and saw the back side of God, and his life was never the same again.
Those who know his way are on a level ahead in their spirituality, above those who only desire miracles, signs, and wonders.
They’re the ones that truly know him and know what he likes and what he hates and will manifest himself to them at his own will.
He gave them the understanding of his word and the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to others it was not given.
If you are a true seeker, you won’t be satisfied with seeing only his acts for it’s all around us, but the ignorant won’t want to acknowledge it, but you will desire to know his way.
He gave some people food, bread and fish for their sustenance in the wilderness. They always wanted it without aspiring to know him as the true bread, but when he tried to introduce himself, they backed out; they only cared for their needs but not the provider.
Some denominations were established on his acts, they don’t know the lord’s way, how will they lead others?
They teach deliverance and introduce the God who performs wonders and answers prayer by fire, his way they won’t teach, for they don’t know it, instead they lead men to holy water and anointing oil and miracles mantle, which they think carries divine authority, the way of the God of Jacob they wouldn’t know.
If you don’t know him, why won’t you substitute him with ordinary materials, which leads to idolatry?
If you follow such denominations, there is no way you won’t miss heaven.
The God of Israel truly hide himself, it’s only those who seek him diligently that will find him.
Prayer: Father lord, show me the way and lead me to the right path, in Jesus’ name, amen.
