A Valley turned to a WELL

Text: Psalms 84:6 (KJV)

Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

There are seasons of loneliness, hopelessness, dryness, isolation, and moments of inactivity in life, even as believers, we still pass through the valleys of despair, depression, and a state of great sorrow. It is a harsh moment and a time to test our faith. There are times in our lives, when things do not go as planned. That is how life is. Job 14:1- Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble. The truth about life is, to get to the top of the mountain, you have to pass through the valley. You cannot jump to the top just like that. A lot of people never told the rough stories of their life, but you can gain experience as you climb the ladder of life through those valleys.

Thankfully, the good news is, God is still and is ever-present in times of trouble. A valley of Baca was a passage to the top. We all pass through things, but for us to result in a “WELL”, we need an encounter; this encounter is based on our revelation from God in that state. For David, he made a WELL out of his low moment and the best part of it is that the pool was full with rain. Remember, every testimony is a product of a test. Many people are busy crying, murmuring, and looking for whom to blame on the issues of their lives, but instead we should try to figure out our purpose, so as to achieve the glorious destiny while in those valleys of life. Psalms 23:4- Yea, though I walk through the valley of shallow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Always remember, you are not alone in that valley of life and it must not end in pain or death. God’s assignment and ideas often come in the quest for direction in the valley.

Let me tell you a story, a family opened an autism foundation because they had a child with this developmental disorder; this led them to search for a solution to no avail, but instead, it directed them to begin this ministry, which has helped many other children with the same case. The question to us should be - What will I produce from my valley experience? What is the advantage of this disadvantage? In that your valley, it is now the right time for inquiry, so you make good use of your valley experience. David, after his anointing, has to hid, to enquire of the Lord before coming out. For you to have an effective delivery of the right keys for direction, deep thoughts are required. You must seek to hear the voice of direction from the Lord, because those lonely moments are turned around to your harvest time. The time within the valley should be your processing moment. When the seed is germinating, it does not draw attention but quiet and lonely, but when grown with branches, it becomes a shade, nest, food, or a wood; in the same vain, that is how we are coming out to be too relevant to our environment. It takes a revelation from God to see the glory covering our way through the valleys of life. James 1:2- My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations. Cheer up, because some of those valleys has become a road map to your destination. The valley of weeping has become a refreshing spring and a place of gaining root. WIPE AWAY YOUR TEARS. Do not run away from the challenge, conquer it, and move ahead. Remember, the valley you are going through is not the last in life, so rely on God to get the keys to your glorious mountain top called your WELL of abundance.

PRAYER POINTS:

1) Oh Lord, equip and feed us with the right words so as to conquer the journey ahead, in Jesus name.

2) May I receive a fresh revelation that will fire me to my destiny as I pass through the valley of life, in Jesus name.

3) Father, help us not be stranded in the valley, but instead turn our valley experience into testimonies, in Jesus name.
