Wilderness - a state of disfavor, a wild and uninhabited area left in it's natural conditions. Does the definition above somehow describe where you are at the moment? As much as it might be a hard pill to swallow, let me show you that it's very possible you are not in the wrong place.
Matthew 4:1 - Then Jesus was LED by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil[NLT].
Wait, it doesn't seem to make much sense, how can the Holy Spirit LEAD Jesus to a place like that? Most times, we expect God to lead us from one good place to something better, even the Bible says we move from one level of glory to another, so how does the wilderness now fit into the equation?
Firstly, it's important to note that God cannot lie, neither will He ever go back on His word. Hence, if God ever makes our path pass through the wilderness, then it means that is the best way to get us into that something better that is ahead of us in order to obtain maximum benefits from it.
For Jesus, the wilderness was the place of preparation for His ministry, where He prepared for the experience that completely redefined humanity. Likewise, Moses also spent some time in the wilderness, but not after he had enjoyed the luxury of being a prince in Egypt. King David too, before he became the great and beloved King, had to hide in the wilderness, first for the threat to his life, then to build capacity for the dominion ahead.
I don't know where you are, and I don't know how you got there, but I know God has a training school in every wilderness that even the devil is unaware of, one that propels from the wilderness into a place of great glory. Therefore, your current experience might not be "Bae" i.e feel good, but remember Jesus also came out of the wilderness very hungry. So keep your eyes on Jesus, He's been there, He'd lead you to a place better than you ever imagined. God Bless You!

What if i tell you that critical elements of the ladder you need to get to that height you desire are already being formed right in front of you, would you believe me? There is a picture I saw circulating on Facebook sometime ago that is quite interesting. It is the picture of a child climbing a ladder, but it wasn’t just a normal ladder because in this case, each step of the ladder was formed with a human hand, so the child was rising based on the support given by the hands of different individuals.
I think it’s normal for people to desire relationships with those way above them, more established people in the industry they aspire to be in, and the intensity of this desire varies in all of us. However, one thing I have come to learn, is the fact God also builds relationships around us that are designed to take us to our desired destination, the only difference is the fact that most of the times, those people God put around us don’t look like much, so many of tend to ignore them, chasing shadows instead.
In Genesis 14, when Abraham was going to rescue Lot after he had been taken into slavery, then 318 men he took to fight were slaves born in his house, most of those guys probably had no battle experience since Abraham was into farming, but these same men defeated kings. Also, the men they were often referred to as the “Mighty men of David” were men who came to him when he was hiding from Saul in the caves, those men were probably hiding from something too, but just these handful of men eventually became an army that conquered nations. Zachariah 4:10a says - "The people should not think that small beginnings are unimportant. They will be happy when they see Zerubbabel with tools, building the Temple[NCV].
Hence, don’t ever despise the relationships God has placed in your life right now, they might look like much, they might even big names, but trust me, they definitely have what it takes to move you up each step the Lord has designed for you. God Bless You!
