Do Not Rebel, and Do NOT be Afraid

One of my favorite chapters in the Bible- Numbers 14: (7-10)

And they spake unto all the company of the children of Israel, saying, The land, which we passed through to search it, is an exceeding good land.
If the LORD delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it us; a land which floweth with milk and honey.
Only rebel not ye against the LORD, neither fear ye the people of the land; for they are bread for us: their defence is departed from them, and the LORD is with us: fear them not.
But all the congregation bade stone them with stones. And the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of the congregation before all the children of Israel.

Sometimes, it is easy to give up after running 14 miles out of the 15miles of the struggle. It always seems that the last mile is the hardest, but God who sees the end from the beginning bids us to NOT give up,do NOT rebel and NOT be afraid because the land ahead of us is SWEETER, and EXCEEDINGLY GREAT. The next chapter in our lives is better, sweeter than honey. Though the enemy tries to discourage, God is so ever faithful.

So whatever fire you are through right now, as long as you have God on your side (meaning you ARE doing His will), here is my word for you.

Do NOT rebel from your journey (do not complain, murmur, doubt, run away)
AND do NOT be afraid (as you go through this fire, go with CONFIDENCE)
because GOD IS WITH YOU.

Be like the three Hebrew boys today! Count it ALL A JOY to face trials and tribulations (James 1)




Blessings!

Remain in Me

In studying John 15 on Wednesday night, the Word says “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing". It was noted that God did not ask us to "bear" fruit, He asks that we REMAIN in HIM so that we may bear fruits. Branches do NOT bear fruits...their primary job is to REMAIN in the vine, and naturally they will bear fruits. so LET that be our primary to concern- to REMAIN IN GOD. It will save us from working hard to produce results, and instead use that energy to focus on God.
