Stagnation

Deuteronomy  1:6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:  1:7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.

Stagnancy is the state of not flowing or moving, being stale or inactive, and more deeply, not developing  or making any progress. It is a terrible force they creeps quietly into the life of the spiritually careless or ignorant. It regards and exempt nobody.

Stagnation is never the will of God for His children. No wonder He commanded the Israelite to break camp and advance, after their long stay in Horeb.

Stagnation is occasioned by some factors. Whatever your case might be, God is ready to move you forward if only you can call upon His name, as seen in the following examples.

1. Satanic hindrance,
Satan has been in the duty to hinder the prayers of the righteous, he stand as obstructions to prayers being answered. Daniel experienced this in Daniel 10:12-13,  he was able to overcome due to his perseverance in prayers.

2. Parental declaration:
Jabez was named sorrow because of the painful birth circumstances that surround his mother, the pronouncement placed his life in a stagnant position until he prayed to God for deliverance.
Many parent has made the same mistake today by placing their children in a stagnant position of success and breakthrough due to anger that resulted from the misdeed of the children.

3. Self-inflicted Stagnancy

The prodigal son's life was stagnated due to his greed. When he came to his senses and returned to his father, he regained his lost glory.  Search yourself, acknowledge your sins, and humbly return to God. 

The lame man's situation in John 5:5-8 looked hopeless, without hope of ever being healed, yet, Jesus visited him. No matter how horrible your situation may seem, God can minister to your deepest needs if only you can call upon His name in faith.

It is time for you to break off from that position of Stagnancy and advance ahead. Call on God and He will answer you.

God bless you.
