Fight for the Land

Day 49

Reading: Num. 31:1 - Num. 33:56

God is a God of vengeance. Don't take it upon yourself to be vengeful. God will deal with it. The Midianites had joined Moab in trying to get Balaam to curse the children of Israel -see Numbers 22:3-7. Earlier we saw that the children of Israel committed harlotry by sleeping with the women of Moab. God had instructed Moses to harass the Midianites for seducing the children of Israel to sin and for listening to Balaam.  Balaam dwelt in the land of the Midianites.

When it was time to harass the Midianites the children of Israel were given instructions, however, there were underlying expectations such as kill everyone. They went to war and killed every man. The women were captured. Note that Balaam was killed also. Today we need to remove everything that is a vehicle of the seduction spirit that carries one away from God.

One remarkable thing about the war against the Midianites was that the children of Israel did a head count and discovered that not a single person was lost in the battle. May this be our story today, that we don't lose any believer in any situation of war they faceTheHe men were so moved that they gave an offering. Charles, learn to give an offering of thanksgiving. The men recognised that only God could have protected them from death and their giving was to say thank You, Lord.

Machir the son of Manasseh went over to Gilead and took it. And it was given to him as his inheritance. Jair the brother also went and took certain villages. Reading this in scripture increased my faith that I can go and take the mountain and God will give it to me. Charles, that ministry, business, career, or sector that you are desiring to take, receive the wisdom and strength to prevail and take over.

Learn to note down the journey your walk; otherwise known as a writing a journal. Why is important or a good culture to develop? It helps point out your growth. As you record the journey with God you create a platform to remind God of the testimonies He has wrought in your life.

Memory verse: Num. 31:49

Decree:

Father, I thank You for YOur Mercies. Thank You, Lord, for the plans that You have for me. I decree that I am possessing the land ordained for me. I decree that those sitting on my land your time is up. I cut off every seducing agent from my life. I submit my life to the Most High God and give HIm permission to use me for His glory. I will fight and possess my land. I decree that I am a terror to the enemies of the Kingdom of God in Jesus name. Amen

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than

Dont Go Back to Egypt

Day 207 Reading: Jeremiah 42:1 - Jeremiah 45:5 When life's blows strike us our response matters more than we realise. Many believers today are in a place of bewilderment because life has dealt blows that have knocked the wind out of them. As a result, many are questioning whether God is still God. Reading the Book of Jeremiah I have been encouraged to trust in God at all times.  The remnant children of Israel upon seeing the King of Babylon conquer them asked Jeremiah to seek the mind of God regarding their desire to go to Egypt. The same pattern of thinking that their forefathers had in saying let's go back to Egypt was on display generations after. Many people don't realise the importance of right thinking. God delivered the children of Israel out of Egypt, to desire to go there for safety is a smack to God in the face! When faced with trouble don't allow the thinking of God helps those who help themselves send you to Egypt. It's a death trap! Man
