Topic: Believing His Promises.

Memory Verse :Numbers 13:30. Caleb interrupted, called for silence before Moses and said, “Let’s go up and take the land—now. We can do it.”

Bible Reading :Deuteronomy 9:1-3 MSG. Key verse: v3.

Attention, Israel!This very day you are crossing the Jordan to enter the land and dispossess nations that are much bigger and stronger than you are. You’re going to find huge cities with sky-high fortress-walls and gigantic people, descendants of the Anakites—you’ve heard all about them; you’ve heard the saying, “No one can stand up to an Anakite.” Today know this: God, your God, is crossing the river ahead of you—he’s a consuming fire. He will destroy the nations, he will put them under your power. You will dispossess them and very quickly wipe them out, just as God promised you would.

God brought the people of Israel out of Egypt (a place of bondage and servitude), and was taking them to posses the land of promise as to live in their dreams. He prepared them ahead of time to face and overcome every obstacles and challenges that laid ahead of them. Being God, he knew ahead of time the nature of challenges that laid ahead of his people and had made adequate provisions to enable them overcome. All the people needed to do was to trust God and his good intentions as well as follow the nstructions he will be dishing out to them on the way, through the leadership he made available unto them.

Now some of the people refused to believe in what God could do, despite the fact that they had seen him work unimaginable wonders in their midst. In the account of Deuteronomy which is our main text, God prepared their mind of the nature of people he was going to deliver into their hands. Despite all the Lord had told them, some people chose not to believe their God, but to follow their feelings. That was what happened when Moses God’s servant sent out spies to survey the land of promise. Ten out of twelve men sent out submitted a negative report except Caleb and Joshua who chose to believe in God keeping his word of promise. “”But the others said, “We can’t attack those people; they’re way stronger than we are.” They spread scary rumors among the People of Israel. They said, “We scouted out the land from one end to the other—it’s a land that swallows people whole. Everybody we saw was huge. Why, we even saw the Nephilim giants (the Anak giants come from the Nephilim). Alongside them we felt like grasshoppers. And they looked down on us as if we were grasshoppers.”” Numbers 13:31-33.

Today we need to learn from the experience of these men of old. We have been delivered from the bondage of sin and darkness and are on our way to posses our Caanan as to fulfil divine purpose here on earth. God knows the challenges we are going to encounter ahead of time and has configured us to overcome. Not only that, he has placed every human and spiritual resources we will need on our way that will manifest when need arises. The Holy Spirit has been given us as our guide through the journey of life. We are to choose between believing God and trusting in his provisions as well as his faithfulness in keeping his promises or being carried away by the size and nature of the enemy (challenges we are to encounter on our way). Those who will make it in victory must resolve just like Caleb and Joshua to trust in what the master can and will of course do and not on their sentiments and feelings. No man can do business with God, except he chooses to walk with him standing firmly on the ground of faith. “We who believe, then, do receive that rest which God promised. It is just as he said: “I was angry and made a solemn promise: They will never enter the land where I would have given them rest!’ ”He said this even though his work had been finished from the time he created the world. For somewhere in the Scriptures this is said about the seventh day: “God rested on the seventh day from all his work.” This same matter is spoken of again: “They will never enter that land where I would have given them rest.”” Hebrews 4:3-6.GNB.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for saving my soul. I worship you because every good thing you began in my life, you are able to finish. Today I remove my eyes from the size of the enemy to focus on your promises. Thank you for being always faithful in every generation in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
