And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you. And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness. And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.” (Exodus 13:17-22 KJV)
Today I shall exhort you on the need to understand this one thing, and that is ‘as you follow God, you will admit that the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men’. As you allow God, the God of Zion to lead you in the coming season, always remember that the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of men.
The God of Zion is the God of healing, deliverance, and possessing of possessions. (Obadiah 1:17) When the God of zion becomes your shepherd and He begins to lead you, you will journey and advance day and night. Nothing shall be able to stop you. You will press on and win. He will lead us in the paths of health, liberty, and prosperity.
Indeed, the foolishness of God is wiser than men. Sometimes the decisions and doctrines of God sounds very foolish and absurd. How can you choose a path that is longer and will taken much longer days when there is a shorter route. At face value, it may sound wiser to choose the shorter route, but with understanding and from hindsight we know that taking the longer route was wiser (Exodus 13:17).
I pray that as we wait on God, you would yield and submit to the godly counsel of your pastor. I pray that as we wait on God you shall learn to listen and obey God. May you have respect for the wisdom of God. His ordinances is our wisdom (Deuteronomy 4:6).
The Bible teaches that when Israel made God their shepherd, He led them by clouds by day and at night as a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could journey and advance day and night. God wanted Israel to be able to work and advance day and night.
As you follow the seeming foolishness of God, you will advance both day and night. This means that throughout all the seasons of life, you will see progress. The sun shall not smite you by day, the clouds of God shall be your umbrella. You may be walking in your season of wilderness but the clouds of God shall give you shade. The God of Zion shall be a cloud to us as we follow His leading.
As you follow the God of Zion, we shall not be crushed by the night season; His pillar of fire shall give us light. He will give us heat and light. The God of Zion shall lead and brings us to the Promise Land. He will lead us to the land that flows with milk and honey.
You may not be comfortable with the path God has chosen. The journey may seem to delay, the path may appear longer but it is safer if that is the path God chose. His leading may not follow logic and reasoning but He knows what He is doing.
Let’s learn to trust the God of Zion. If He did not spare His own son but gave Him as a ransom for all, then He is able. God is able, the God of Zion is more than able. He is waiting on you to be strong and courageous. This is your day and now is your season.
Stay blessed; I love you

Very insightful. Now I see why it is grievous to complain or murmur while following the leading of the Lord.
I accept and yield to what ever decision that the Lord will choose for me.
God bless you Bishop
God bless you Bishop for this message. It is simple but very deep.
