Wandering is to do
something repeatedly without any defined purpose. It is going round in circles
– no progress from point A to B. Wandering can be as a result of sin as in the
case of Cain in Genesis Chapter 4. Cain became a wanderer because he violated
the commands of God by killing his brother. Consequently was driven from the
Presence of God or he lost the Presence of God on account of his sin. Secondly,
because he shed the blood of his brother on the earth, the earth refused to
yield its best for him.
Cain was cursed by God to wander because he killed his
younger brother, Abel; as in the case of the Israelites in the wilderness when
they refused to move forward to the Promised Land because of the negative
report of the ten spies (Numbers Chapter 14) ignorance and lack of direction as
in the case of the people described in (Psalm 107 verses 4 to 9); and the people of Israel who kept circling
the mountains of Seir for a long time until God gave them directions to go
north so they would stop wandering and make progress to the Promised Land.
Ignorance and lack of direction can keep a person, family, a community, an
institution and a nation wandering for years without making progress. Please
read Isaiah Chapter 28 verses 23 to 28.
You can break the
spell of wandering by taking directions from God – choose divine guidance from
God. You can break the spell whatever it is. God blessed you with divine power
to break the spells of the enemy over your life with the complete work of Jesus
Christ on the cross. Spells are often designed as evil or negative habits which
put you in bad stead before God and fellow human beings. When Balaam could not
use sorcery against Israel, he advised the people of Midian to use their
immoral women to seduce the young men of Israel into committing the sin of
sexual immorality so that God would be angry with the people of Israel and
destroy them. Indeed, God was angry but there was immediate reprieve when
Phinehas did what pleased God. Please read Numbers Chapter 25 for details.
Beloved, do not excuse your life away wandering from points
that do not connect to a purpose in life. You were designed for greatness and
that greatness can only come if you focus and walk in divine direction. May God
guide you and keep you focused in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Shalom.
