INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Monday, May 11, 2026 Topic: GO FORWARD! Memory Verse: ‭‭"‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward" - Deuteronomy 2:3 KJV‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭Exodus 14:15 KJV‬ 15. ‭‭And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: INSPIRATION: Sometimes, life's tragic events leave us between the rock and a hard place, where it is difficult to make meaning out of it, and near impossible to move on. So we get stuck and at worse, wander in circles. At such instances, reason is lost and counsel is futile. We're bitter, and generally confused because no effort appears good enough to remedy things. At such moments, God's instruction says to move forward regardless of our reality. To move forward, press hard against your wall and force your way through. What's stopping us isn't going to give up or loosen it's grip on us just like that. We must exert ourselves, defy the odds and surmount the obstacles. Be creative and innovative with executing your new strategy, but press forward nonetheless. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: ‭‭Stop! Take a deep breath. Look your problems in the face and move forward! PRAYER: Dear Lord, by your grace, I'm unstoppable and unlimited. Nothing holds me back or puts me down. I rise to a new level with each fall, and soar higher in obedience to Your command to go forward! My eyes open to new escape routes that usher me into my enlarged place in destiny, in Jesus name.
