The Mountain (part IV)

By Odon Bulamba (summary only)

You must have strong legs to climb a mountain. If rain comes you can slip or fall. For this reason people can now use a stick to support them. A lot of Christians don’t have this stick and that is why they slip and fall in their Christian walk.

God gave us an example with Moses. The mountain was the only place he could meet with God. When we are on top of our faith and come across a hard situation and you’ve reached the maximum of your faith, God can help you to see Him and will open Himself to you. Where your thoughts stop, that is where God’s thoughts start. If you want to see God as Moses did you must be clean spiritually. You must do your best to be the right person.

Climbing a mountain is like analysing your faith, “am I strong? Is my faith enough? What makes me fall into sin? Why do I doubt?” After knowing all this you shall ask God to help you change or give you enough strength so your faith can become strong. If you have faith and can be assured that God will give you what you need, you will start to hear the voice of God.

If you don’t feel any wind when you are climbing the mountain, you must know whether or not the presence of God is in your life. When you know you have God’s assurance in your life you will have joy in your heart and whatever you ask of God, be sure you will receive it.

If you don’t have that feeling in you then pray and ask God, “I need your presence Lord, and I need to feel you in my heart”. If you want to accomplish anything in your prayer life, your faith must be pure. In order for your faith to be in action you have to pray. “Lord, I want my faith to be in action so I can climb the mountain to meet you”.

A mountain has a junction, it goes from a flat surface, which is on earth then when it meets the mountain it starts to climb. When you’re on a mountain you can see everything going on. The flat surface (plain) represents the world of Satan. A Christian must be above to see and know the tactics of Satan; he must know what is sin and what is not. You must see everything around you and know what is going on, not to be curious to satisfy your body, but to be careful.

When Moses came down from the mountain he had been transformed. Moses had brought something new to the Israelites. When you have faith and are praying to God about your life or for the life of others, you must be sure there will be change. People must see results from your prayers, if it doesn’t happen ask yourself, “Why did I pray?” Meditate on Elijah.
