The Cloud

I am someone who likes to see the skies and watch the different shapes and sizes of clouds. I like the blue sky. I like clouds.

Clouds in the Old Testament are very much likened to the presence of God.

Exodus chap 13: 21 :By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night.

Exodus chap 24 : 15-16 : When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, and the glory of the LORD settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain and on the seventh day the Lord called to Moses from within the cloud.

Leviticus chap 16 : 2 The Lord said to Moses,” Tell your brother Aaron that he is not to come whenever he chooses into the Most Holy Place behind the curtain in front of the atonement cover on the ark, or else he will die. For I will appear in the cloud over the atonement cover.

God led His people out of Egypt and the wilderness by means of the pillar of cloud.

Throughout scripture, cloud is mentioned few times. Mostly to reflect the presence of God and the Glory of God.

Revelation chap 1 : 7a ”Look,he is coming with the clouds,” and every eye will see him,

It was many years ago I received a prophecy, ”Rowena, you are the Cloud. You carry God’s presence in you. You will lead many to Christ. Don’t doubt God ”

At that very moment, I was a student. I didn’t really understand what the person meant. But now reflecting back my journey in Christ, I realized God’s cloud never left me. In other words, His presence never left me. It brought tears in my eyes to experience God’s love upon my life. His divine favor was always with me.

There were many times I have doubted his goodness and calling in my life. I have to admit I have showed the Lord many of my tantrums in all my growing up years as a Christian ,but God never left me nor forsake me. His presence was always in me. God knew me. The devil tried many ways but he has been defeated because Jesus is Lord.

Are you someone here who feels forsaken? Are you regretting over certain situations in life? Do you at times feel God is keeping quiet? Are there many silent years in your life?

Hey, don’t loose hope. Always remember you carry the Lord’s presence in you. You are the Cloud. As you fellowship more with the Holy Spirit, you become a solution to the world around you.The key is to have constant fellowship with the Holy Spirit.

Say this today : I carry the Lord’s presence in me.-R.J.JOHN

Prayer : ”Abba, I thank you Lord for my readers, your Presence will touch them and they would have an encounter with you Lord this moment.” Amen

Application:

1.Forget the past. Start fresh today. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit like never before.

2.Be focused in fulfilling your calling. The Holy Spirit will lead.
