Numbers

Day 38

Reading: Num. 1:1 - Num. 2:34

Welcome to the fourth book of the Bible, Numbers. It's my prayer that you are staying focused and are learning bit by bit. I am also having fun jotting down these notes. May we have encounters with the Word that are life changing.

God instructs Moses to number the people. This was in the second year after leaving Egypt. You may wonder why? We are in the desert why take a census of males aged 20 and above of all tribes minus the Levites?

Learn to count your blessings even when in transition. Learn to take stock of what you have before the next season. Be prepared for the next season and that will mean taking account of what you have where you are. A census would also help the children of Israel to see how they have grown from the time they left Egypt. One must learn to recognise growth even in the desert place. Transition doesn't mean you stop growing.

The next instruction they receive was how the children of Israel would position themselves when they camped. The Tabernacle would be in the centre place. The tribes were all placed in order. Note that Judah meaning praise would be the first tribe to be named. No movement of the entire nation would occur without the Tabernacle moving first. 

We move in the direction of our internal thought paradigms. You are not what we see but the inside man in regulating what happens on the outside of your life. Let God be the centre and take hold of His principles and watch how you will possess the land. 

Memory Verse: Num. 1:51

Decree:

Lord, be the centre of my life, family, business, ministry and all. I thank You for the blessings that you have blessed me with. I may not be where I desire ,however, I am grateful that You are seeing to my growing daily into the person You have ordained for me to be 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 ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

It is Settled

Day 296 Reading: 1 Peter 1:1 - 1 Peter 5:14 Challenges are the way of life. We celebrate winners because they overcome hurdles. Think about it, how many times do we celebrate those who innovate or break into new frontiers. The Wright brothers did what no other person had done. They flew a plane. They conquered the law of gravity with the law of flight. Was it a one day exercise? No, it took years. The worked on a plane from 1899 to 1903 when a power plane flew and continued to perfect it and the first practical aeroplane flew in 1905. Thomas Edison is celebrated for inventing the light bulb which he displayed after many failed experiments to get it to work.  Peter in writing to the churches encourages the believers to understand the place of process. He helps the believer understand the period between the trial and deliverance or a miracle is necessary. It's necessary for you and me to learn about trusting God fully. Peter exhorts the believer to fully rest his or her ...
