high places

BIBLE READING: Zechariah 4:7; Mark 11:22-24.

High places can be regarded as mountains because mountains are high. Mountains are the things that are beyond a man; the challenges confronting us at home, work and anywhere. The mountains before man are all level ground before God. Mountains stand to slow down the speed flow or put a stop to some endeavors in life. Some people’s mountains could be barrenness, ill health, spiritual backwardness, financial backwardness, career stagnation, homelessness, joblessness, non-admission to institutions of higher learning, etc.

BIBLE READING: Deut. 32:12; 2Cor. 12:6-9.

To ride on your high places is to conquer and take possession despite the many challenges that life is full of. A challenge is a difficulty or blockage which requires great effort and determination to overcome. The Christian life is not a bed of roses but is filled with both pleasant and unpleasant situations. Yet as Christians, we believe Jesus has conquered the world and obtained victory for us on the cross.
