Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:18, 19 KJV)

WE WALK BY FAITH
Sometimes when we find ourselves in certain situations, we think or ask questions like; “where is God? does God love me? Why am I in this mess? Etc.” God promised in His word that
Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43
Dear friend, God has not left you. He loves you, and He knows you are in that mess. He wants you to use what you have; Your Faith. Jesus slept in the midst of storm because He knew God was with them, and His Faith calmed the storm.
God is bigger than your problems and He has all your days in the palm of His hands.
In Isaiah 59, the scripture says
Listen! The Lord’s arm is not too weak to save you,
nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call.
It’s your sins that have cut you off from God.
Because of your sins, he has turned away
and will not listen anymore
That was in the Old Testament, before Jesus came. Now the story has changed as Jesus has bridged the gap sin created between us and God. In the New Testament, the problem is not sin. It is our Faith. Without Faith, it is impossible to please Him. Most of us doubt God power to perform. We believe more in our strength and what we have, we believe in what other people can do for us than His infinite power to perform in our lives. We doubt what He can do. James said that such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. We need Faith.
Faith believes in advance what only make sense in reverse. We walk by faith. You do not need to see money before you believe that you are rich. You do not need doctor’s report because your Father is the Number One Physician. You are healed. Start exercising your faith. You do not need the results before you know you have passed the test. God has blessed you already. And you need faith to tap it from the spiritual realm to the physical realm. God bless you
I will close with this:
Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. Hebrews 11 NLT

A SECRET PATH
This is what the Lord says – he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters… Isaiah 43:16. God has a secret path in any situation. God has finished everything about you; your successes, strength, happiness, Joy, Prosperity, healthy life, etc. In fact, He is not creating anything new so long as your life is concerned. He made the provisions for your needs when you were a spirit being, that is before you came to the womb. Jeremiah 1:9.
A lot of Christians are searching and struggling for things they have already; it is like having Microsoft office on your computer, and since you had no knowledge about that you moved from one place to another in search for one. Quit looking around for help, and start looking inward because streams of living waters will flow from within you; John 7:38. Everything you see around; cars, buildings, trains, aeroplanes, laptops, etc all came from within. People had those ideas on the inside before they came to existence.
God understands your current situation. He is God, He knows everything. He has ways you have never thought of. While you are expecting Him to work things your way, He would use His way. His ways cannot be easily fathomed. In any situation you would find yourself, remember God has a secret path for your escape. His ways are above your ways, and His thoughts, above yours. He is wiser than you are, and His weakness is far greater than your strength; 1 Corinthians 1:25. In Isaiah 42:16, He said I will lead the blind by ways they have not known which tells me God has ways we do not know. He would use those ways or paths to get us out of any unpleasant situation.
A sea refers to the insurmountable situation you are dealing with now. The situation you think there is no way out. Maybe you are stuck in addiction, Fear has grasped you, friends have betrayed you, business is slowing down, sicknesses, Joblessness, defeat, etc. These, and some others, are the giants most people are facing in their lives. There may seem to be no way out but let me encourage you today that God has a way. He is not going create that way, He already has them planned and well structured. He created you, and He knows your end. He always has a way where you think there is no way. If you would believe, all things are possible with God on your side.
No matter what you are going through today, I am here to tell you that God has a way. It may not be pleasant but only believe that God has a secret path for you. Like the prodigal son, if we would recognize Him as our Father, our only source in life, he would reveal the secret path to us. Be sure not to turn to the left or right for help. Do not look back either. And do not say the past was good than the present. Be encouraged today to Look forward, move forward, and know that God would not allow you to go through any situation unless he has a purpose for that.
Begin to declare His promises concerning your life as he shows you the secret path in the sea this year. Amen
