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

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 ...

From the Pit to Safety

The news about the miners rescue has filled the atmosphere with a real lever of optimism. What began as a sad tale has ended well. As I have followed this story over the last 69 days I have had a few thoughts about some of the symbolism of this whole experience. In life we all will find ourselves in a pit (mine) of some sort.Thus the decision to see what I could learn from these great gentlemen. Firstly, they were miners. Do you realise that we all are miners in life? You may not mine for copper but as a lawyer you are mining legal matters that bring you profit. You may be a doctor whose responsibility is to mine to the root of the issue that is troubling a patients body!! We all are mining for a living!!! The miners numbered 33. Jesus was 33 when He was buried. After He died He was buried before He arose. We saw 33 men come out alive. Talk about a resurrection in their lives and in the lives of the men, families, and nation. Each miner underwent change. Whilst in the darkness of th...

Arise!!

The world today is one where many feel as though life is beating them down. The different challenges we face in this journey called life have punched many down and out. The fuel price increases, the job cuts, economic recession in different parts of the world, government changes either through the ballot or bullet, governments going broke, floods, drought, to just but name a few things facing many in the world today. It's difficult to go to a party and you don't hear bad news relating to someone you know. The world is changing. The weather patterns are affected by global warming, societal values held by previous generations are being obliterated by the ones following, and guess what, life for many is a nightmare. Today, I want to encourage that person who is lying down beaten by life. We all at times go through situations in life where we are down. It may appear that life's challenges have handed down a technical knockout blow, but humanity was not made to be beaten by lif...
