IN ANSWERING HE MAKES IT RAIN

-

Numbers 11:31-32

Now the Lord sent a wind that brought quail from the sea and let them fall all around the camp. For miles in every direction there were quail flying about three feet above the ground.
So the people went out and caught quail all that day and throughout the night and all the next day, too. No one gathered less than fifty bushels! They spread the quail all around the camp to dry.


The people of Israel complained about not having meat. They vexed the Lord by saying they preferred to return to Egypt. Remember the Lord's reply:

Numbers 11:10,19-20
Moses heard all the families standing in the doorways of their tents whining, and the Lord became extremely angry. Moses was also very aggravated.
And it won’t be for just a day or two, or for five or ten or even twenty.
You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it. For you have rejected the Lord, who is here among you, and you have whined to him, saying, “Why did we ever leave Egypt?”’”


Yes they had the meat the wanted but they paid the price of their rebellion:

Numbers 11:33
But while they were gorging themselves on the meat—while it was still in their mouths—the anger of the Lord blazed against the people, and he struck them with a severe plague.


When the scriptures sometimes in the old testament says the Lord did this or that, remember that the enemy has not been revealed, most of the things attributed to the Lord could as well have been from the enemy. Selah


The Lord answered the prayers of Moses to the children of Israel and it rained quails for them to eat.


Just as we said yesterday, there was no need for complaining or rebelling all they needed was to make their request known, the Lord who already gave them victory in Egypt would give them victory anywhere else, all they needed to do was to believe and be obedient.


Philippians 4:6
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.


That is the lesson for us believers.


Remember those things you desired so much years ago, how the Lord came through for you, it even came in abundance and you were now in a situation to decide which one to take. That is how the Lord works, He makes it flow.


That job you are seeking for will come in abundance, your situation will then become: "which one do I choose?". This is a classic example of how the Lord answers prayers!


I love this extract from Kirk Franklin's song featuring Mali music:

"The God who orchestrates the future
At the same time he knows where you are
Give me that God who supplies my needs
'Cause he owns all the cattle's on the hill
And He's the God that wipes my tears
He provides enough to pay all my bills

And gimme me that God, that's the God I'm talkn' 'bout"


We have so much working for us as believers, but our mind and eyes easily gets distracted, so instead on focusing on our limitless and all powerful God, we focus on our immediate little challenges.


Ephesians 3:20
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.


Let's refocus.


Our God will make it rain!


Glory to God.


PRAYER
Dear Father help me to focus on You, for Lord You make Your blessings rain on me, nothing is impossible for You, I am safe in Your care. Thank You Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love
@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
