Friday May 3rd, 2024.
Topic : Believe God.
Memory Verse : Deuteronomy 9:1. Hear, Israel: You are now about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities that have walls up to the sky.
Deuteronomy 9:2-3 NIV. Key Verse: v3.
The people are strong and tall—Anakites! You know about them and have heard it said: “Who can stand up against the Anakites?” But be assured today that the Lord your God is the one who goes across ahead of you like a devouring fire. He will destroy them; he will subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them quickly, as the Lord has promised you.
When God brought the people of Israel out of bondage, he caused them to triumph over people who looked more formidable and organised like themselves. Pharaoh and the Egyptians of those days had what it takes to keep them in bondage perpetually, but God forced them to release the Israelites by killing all the first born of both animals and human beings in a night. When Pharaoh and his elite army tried to return them to bondage, the Lord drowned them with their horses and chariots in the red sea. The miracles of God was a lifestyle through their journey as proof that God was behind their movement. Though their humanity manifested at some points in their journey, grace and mercy covered them sometimes through the intercession of Moses. ”So Moses went back to the Lord and said, “Oh, what a great sin these people have committed! They have made themselves gods of gold. But now, please forgive their sin—but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.”The Lord replied to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me I will blot out of my book.” Exodus 32:31-33.
Anytime God does something for any man or people, he makes things happen at his own capacity as God. Visions and dreams that comes from him are always bigger than the man or people as the case may be. This happens because God’s plans are not measured by our capacity as men, but his own personal capacity as God. This is so because in every of his agenda, all we need to do is follow obediently, while he does his work by himself through us as men that can be seen. Because God was involved in the journey of the people of God in the wilderness, everything God created worked in their favour. They all responded to Moses and the people of God because of divine presence. ”The Lord replied, “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” Then Moses said to him, “If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here. And the Lord said to Moses, “I will do the very thing you have asked, because I am pleased with you and I know you by name.” Exodus 33:14-15, 17.
Today understand that whatever God is telling you he will do in your life is not dependent on your personal ability or capacity as a man. Rather you just need to believe him and learn to depend on him to bring his word to pass in your life, as God who can do all things. Never forget that man was created to depend on God in everything. This means that all we are able to do, achieve or become in life is and will be by his enablement. Your own responsibility is to discern and follow him in obedience. The only thing that can stop God in your life is unbelief.
“Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” Numbers 13:30-31.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because power belongs to you. Thank you for creating me to depend on you. As I look upto you, lead me in the paths of righteousness. As I put my trust in you, help me to to walk in the paths of victory all the days of my life in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
