WILDERNESS TRIALS AND TESTS: THE WISDOM OF GOD FOR PREPARATION OF GIANTS
Moses in Egypt was said to be a man MIGHTY in WORDS and DEEDS! "And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and was mighty in?words?and?deeds." - Acts 7:22. He fled from Egypt for fear of REPRISAL into the WILDERNESS. On the Mount of Horeb, a burning, flaming fire caught his ATTENTION. That FIRE burned through Moses through his remaining days on earth. After God finished working in and through Moses, he became a man of SLOW SPEECH and the MEEKEST on Earth.
John the Baptist, the GREATEST PROPHET ever in the History of Humanity, emerged from the WILDERNESS, feeding on wild Locust and Honey. He came to PREPARE the WAY for Christ and to ANNOUNCE Him. Unfortunately, he opened his mouth at a TIME he should not, and paid dearly for it!

Gideon never knew he was a MIGHTY MAN OF VALOUR, till an Angel of God appeared to him and pronounced him as such. This Gideon was from the least of the tribes of Israel who counted himself unworthy for EXPOLITS! The Lord ordered him, "GO IN THIS MIGHT and POWER!". Eventually, he delivered his people, the Midianites.
The WILDERNESS EXPERIENCE is EXCITING but TORTUOUS. There are TIMES you are tempted to give up and throw hands in DESPAIR. Each HURDLE comes with OWN challenges. There are many WINDING PATHS and BRIDGES to cross, but because God is always with you, even in DARKNESS, light SHINES! Great ILLUMINATION and DEPTHS of the KNOWLEDGE of God is ENCOUNTERED. Walking under the WISDOM and GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit is AMAZING. Oh, how I wish every body will go through this encounter! Your SPIRITUAL SENSITIVITY is heightened. But one will be subject PAIN, SUFFERINGS, RIDICULE, MOCKERY, TAUNTS, INSULTS, REJECTION etc. God is INDEED Wise!!!!
