Isaiah 45:2 ‘I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:’

DAILY READING • Luke 11:1-28; Genesis 19; Psalm 12

In November, 1853, Dr. David Livingstone embarked on a great journey to create a path for the Gospel through the heart of the jungle to the sea.. His purpose was to carve out a road that would make it easy for other missionaries to travel on to bring the Gospel to the interior of Africa.
He spent seven months of untold hardship, moving from Linyanti, on the Zambesi, until he reached St. Paul de Loanda, on the west coast. Twenty-seven men accompanied him on this difficult journey. Dr. Livingstone suffered thirty-one attacks of fever on the way and sometimes even the men travelling with him became so disheartened that they wanted to return home.
However God continually intervened and guided them, until finally on May 31, 1854, they broke through the jungle and arrived their destination, at Loanda. They had accomplished the mighty task of blazing a trail through the impenetrable jungle. From then on, this path that Dr. Livingstone had created would be traveled on by many missionaries to bring the Gospel and civilization to the African interiors. When the news of his great accomplishment reached England, David Livingstone was greatly celebrated and awarded many honors. Yet despite his achievements, Dr. Livingstone never rested on his oars, but kept pressing forward to greater goals of spreading the Gospel. He never allowed obstacles to hinder him and is quoted as saying ”Death alone will put a stop to my efforts! Nothing earthly will make me give up my work in despair. I encourage myself in the Lord, my God, and go forward” He kept pressing forward until April 30, 1873 when he died while praying on his knees at Chitambo in present day Northern Zambia. Dr. David Livingstone, is best remembered today as the pioneer missionary who blazed the way for others to follow in Africa.

Obstacles are always part of the road map on the path to your destiny.
If you want to live your life with your potential maximized to the fullest, you must be ready to overcome hindrances and press forward to your goal. Never mind setbacks or discouragements because open doors are often accompanied by many adversaries. Stay focused on where you are going and refuse to shift your position because of oppositions.. if everything seems to be rising up against you, refuse to abandon your purpose and keep going forward. The important thing to do is to pray for the wisdom and direction to know what to do at each crossroad.
When we engage divine help on our journey, God goes ahead of us to break the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron asunder.
God said in Isaiah 45:2 ‘I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:’

In this season, God will go ahead of you to destroy the barriers to your progress. It is certainly your time to see greater open doors. Your greatest days are ahead of you because the path of the just shines brighter and brighter unto the perfect day. Therefore do not rest on your oars. To receive the strength to keep pressing forward to our glorious destination we must constantly study God’s Word because that is where our strength and wisdom comes from to accomplish great exploits.

PRAYER: Father please help me to always see that You are with me even in the midst of challenges and discouraging situations. By Your grace I will keep pressing forward until I arrive at the glorious open doors you have ordained for me in this season in Jesus Name.
