Empowerment For Prompt Obedience

And the people chode with Moses, and spake, saying, Would God that we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!
- Numbers 20:3

Why were they in strive and frustration with Moses?
If you read further you will see, it is not just because they lacked water alone.
They have overstayed in the wilderness, beyond the required time. Actually, they ought to have entered into the land, God had promised them, but fear kept them wondering in the wilderness. (Numbers 13 and 14 illustrate the story).

They had over stayed their welcome in the wilderness, God's presence had left the place. They began to react in frustration to everything around them at the slightest provocation.
Unfortunately, the children of Israel were stagnant and frustrated, and got  Moses into trouble with God in the process of their murmuring and complaining (Numbers 20:12), because he(Moses) reacted in anger to their continuous nagging; of course everyone in the camp was weary, including Moses. As a result, he could not fulfill his purpose of taking them into the promised land.

Lesson: move when God says move, the mountain notwithstanding, only in obedience we can be sure of His abiding presence and guidance. It may look rough at the beginning, but His peace and comfort will always be available for us.

A word is enough for the wise.

Stay blessed.

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

Money truce.

People make reference that "The Bible says money is the root of all  evil...." The Bible didn't say that at all. The Bible says, "For the LOVE of MONEY is the root of all evil" (1Tim.6:10). You could be guilty of that sin and not have a dime. It's not wrong to have money; it's wrong for money to have you. #prosperityreality

Extremely Blessed!

A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. – Proverbs 17:8 If I could give you a gift this Christmas, the Word is what I'd give you. I'd rather give it to you than a check for a million dollars. Because you can run through a million dollars real quick, but the truth of God's Word never quits—and it will get you out of situations a million dollars can't get you out of. Ken and I are just ordinary people. But when we latched on to God's Word, we latched on to something out of the ordinary, something that changed our lives. Every area of our lives. Nothing that's happened to us has happened because of us. It's happened because of God's Word. In fact, I don't even have to know you to promise you this: If you'll give God's Word your full attention—and not be afraid of His will for your life—you're going to be happier and more prosperous than anything you could ever dream up. O...
