THE PROMISED LAND

The assignment God gave Moses was to bring the children of Israel out of Egypt so they could enter into the promised land that God had planned for them.

If Moses’ relationship with God was founded on entering the promised land, he would have given up at the waters of Meribah as soon as God declared that after a journey through the desert for 40 years, he would never set his foot in that land of promise (Numbers 20:12).

But his relationship with God was based on God’s sufficiency. Though at times he questioned, he doubted and even complained, he continued to obey the voice of God not because of a promised blessing but because he was a servant and God was his Master.  

The real promised land for Moses and for every true believer is the Kingdom of God, I mean eternal life. 

Don’t lose sight of that.

Are you wandering in the desert of life’s ups and downs?

Are you facing the consequences of disobedience to God’s Word?

Are you tempted right now to complain or give up believing in God’s promise?

Remember, faith is not real without God’s promise. As Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 4:17, “for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.”

The promise of redemption, of eternal life is the sole end and purpose of all our activities here on earth. Whatever you do, don’t miss that Promised Land! 

ONE WAY

“It took God one night to deliver the Israelites physically from 400 years of captivity but it took 40 years to deliver their hearts from captivity. For some, they never let go. You may have stopped your bad habits on the outside but is your heart still yearning for them? If you have decided to follow Jesus and you mean it, don’t look back! Look to God alone. You cannot discover new oceans if you do not lose sight of the shore.”

GOD’S RESOURCES

31 May 2023

“There is nothing God created that He cannot command, control or instruct, and can turn people’s hearts to favour you. Solomon was made wealthy by God as God brought people from all over to bless him. God can use anything to speak to you, to preserve you and protect you for His purpose. So, never doubt that God can move mountains to bring to pass His purpose in your life. He is able to do more than you could ask or imagine because He is a living God and His resources are infinite.”

STRANGERS

“As a child of your Heavenly Father, there is a promise for you in Isaiah 43:1 that you have been redeemed by God, that He called you by name and you are His. What does it mean to belong to God? Once Christ purchases us with His Blood, we become aliens here on earth and there is a barrier between us and everything here in this world.”
