Challenge
“I will go before you and make the crooked places straight; I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, who call you by your name.” (Isaiah 45:2,3)
“Break the gates of bronze and cut the bars of iron” means: if I should have any closed doors in my life, they have to open. Even if the doors are made of bronze with bars of iron, they have to open.
“Hidden riches of secret places.” Our God knows where they are because “HE” is God. They are treasures and riches are yet to be found.
The question is: What should we do to make sure that these treasures and riches are seen by our eyes and touched by our hands? These words weren’t simply written for show.
He wouldn’t promise these treasures and riches if they didn’t exist. They exist and He’s the only one that knows where they are.
What should you do? There’s only one thing to do: CHALLENGE HIM BY USING YOUR FAITH. It’s what forces the Holy Spirit to take action and show where these riches are hidden.
That’s for those who believe!
