NUMBERS 14:26-39
As human we are, sometimes we make the mistake of apportioning
blames to God for our present temporal problems and position. Instead of
enduring the situation by thanking God for a brighter tomorrow that may surface
in due season, because after rain comes sunshine. People are always impatient
with God when their prayers are not answered. Forgetting that God is the
creator of the whole universe with this infinite wisdom, who can compete with
God? Nobody; He does what He wants do irrespective of your feelings. They
murmured against Moses the servant of most high God and God judged them in
various measures. They first of all brought evil report against God after
spying out the land of Canaan for 40 days. And God was annoyed with them that
after seeing his act in Egypt that these people still doubt what He can do.
Then God concluded that He will do to them according to their report. Child of
God, what is your report about those gifts God has given you? What is your
report about that giant step God said you should take? Remember that Joshua and
Caleb were the only younger people in their midst yet their report were “we are able to take the land”. And two
of them finally took the land. While others were saying that they cannot take
the land because of giants and they perished in the wilderness because God has
vowed to do to them according to their statement.
NUMBERS 14:26
(26) “Jehovah then
said to Moses and Aaron
(27) “How much
longer will this evil assembly keep murmuring
against me?
I have heard what the Israelites are
murmuring
against me
(28) Say to them
“As surely as I live , declare Jehovah, I will do to
You just
what I have heard you speak!
Now, having established this fact that God will not relent to
do you according to your saying. What is your report? Your report from today determines
your destination. Change your report about situation and grab your destiny in
hand to fulfillment:
I CORINTHIAN 10:10
(10) “Neither be
murmurers , as some of them murmured
Only to
perish by the destroyers”
Murmuring is evidence of lack of faith. God dealt with the 8
spies that brought back evil report according to their faith while the 2 people
that brought back good report (Joshua
and Caleb) according to their faith. Faith was in existence before the
creation of the world, God created the world by faith, and treated the people
in it by their faith, His son Jesus Christ came and demonstrated faith. And
treated the people in it by their faith, And that is why without faith it is
impossible to please God.
Christians are ignorant of so many things in the world today
and as a result Isolate themselves from what is their right, thereby giving the
Devil; power over what is their right: Imagine someone saying that the present
world belongs to Devil; and as a result let us live it for the Devil and his
agents because devil said in MATHEW 4:8-9
and LUKE 4: 6-7, Look! Satan said that he has the power over the earth. Has
God said that? No, God has not approved that saying; rather God gave man
dominion over every living creature that creeps over the face of the earth. But
man decided to side with Satan and that gave Satan full control over the
inhabitant of whole world and the whole creature enter bondage because of the
disobedient of the Adam and Eve, man lost the dominion to satan. But God has
restored man through his son Jesus Christ. So Satan does not have that power
again because Jesus has recovered everything he has stolen from the Kingdom.
And that was why he tried to deceive Jesus too, but he failed, if he had
succeeded that means the entire creation will still be in bondage of evil one.
Now, this is why you can only please God by faith; everything
you do today is according to your faith in that name Jesus who has brought
restoration to entire world. Not by works, your participation in politics is rewarded
by your faith; acting movie is rewarded by your faith, being a Lawyer is rewarded
by your faith, how? Because we overcame the Devil by the blood of the Lamb
Jesus and the words of our testimony and your words of testimony comprises your
report about Christ, yourself, your career, the gospel etc. because God must
always treat you according to your report. You have what you say and that is
faith. You can still be a politician, a musician, an actor or actress, a
writer, a blogger etc provided what you are doing as profession does not
destroy lives and property, health and negative influence that contribute to
corruption etc. Your faith is richly rewarded, what we fight most in the
society is corruption. The government officials according to ROMANS 13:1 are there to fight
corruption in the society. And the apostles said that they are Servant of God.
Then who are you to condemn the system by saying that God is not involved in
this present system. The power has been taken from Satan after Jesus death and
resurrection, so the Just shall live by faith. Your faith in the name of Jesus
as a government official is rewarded even as a politician is recognized and
rewarded. Let stop being the like the scribes and the Pharisees in MATHEW 23. Please stop leaving those
sensitive areas and offices for Satan and his agent they don’t own it any
longer, the bible said he is an accuser, He can accuse you as he did to Job,
but note that the blood of Jesus has made a difference if you believe in that
name Jesus Christ. He succeeded in destroying what Job had because God gave him
permission which he sought. If he is the owner of the world including Job, why
did he go to take permission from God before dealing with Job? Satan is an
accuser, the only power he has is to accuse you as a child of God through lies
and slander but you have overcome him already.
REVELATION 12:10
(10) “I heard a
loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the
salvation
and the power and the Kingdom of our God
and the
authority of his Christ, because the accuser of
our brothers
had been hurled down, who accuses them
day and
night before God!
(11) And they
conquered him because of the blood of the
lamb and because of the words of their testimony,
and they did not love their souls
even in the face of death”
Who did Satan accused?
He accused Job (JOB 1:1-12), He accused Moses (JUDE 9-10), JOSHUA
ZACHARIAH 3:2
(2) Then the
Angel of God said to Satan: “ may Jehovah
rebuke you,
O Satan, you, yes, may God who has chosen
Jerusalem rebukes
you! Is not this one a burning log
snatched out fire?
(3) “Now Joshua
was clothed in filthy garment and standing
before the angel
(4) The angel
said to those before him “Remove the
filthy
garment.” Then he said to him, “See I
have caused
your error
to pass away from you, and you will be clothed
with fine
clothe”
So he does not have power to stop you from doing God’s
purpose for your life unless you succumb to his enticement. This is why anyone
that accuses others unjustly is an agent to Satan, some people has this
dangerous satanic nature in them. You are working for Satan without knowing,
you don’t need to belong to marine Kingdom or practice witch craft before you
become Agent of Satan, if you join in any accusation you don’t know the origin
no matter who you are, even if you are a pastor, you are already working for Satan. That is why it is according to your faith.
Coming to competing with the world, you don’t need to strive or struggle for
position with anyone as a child of God. Just mind your business doing your own
work as specified so you can win the respect of others because promotion comes
from the North (Mount Zion: City of the
great Kings PSALM 75:6) and from above (JAMES 1:17)
I THESSALONIAN 4:11-12
(11) “Make it your
aim to live quietly and to mind your own
business and
to work with your own hands, just as we
instructed you.
(12) So that you
may work decently in the eyes of the
People
outside and not need anything”
If any power will be given to Satan not yet, but as specified
in the book of revelation that will be when he will be released to torment the
earth and that is after rapture, this is punishment to the disobedient ones.
