MAKE SURE YOU ARE COVERED

-

Numbers 22:6,12

Please come and curse these people for me because they are too powerful for me. Then perhaps I will be able to conquer them and drive them from the land. I know that blessings fall on any people you bless, and curses fall on people you curse.”

But God told Balaam, “Do not go with them. You are not to curse these people, for they have been blessed!”


We could very well get comfortable because we have experienced some type of victory or escaped some form of challenge that we think that the battle is over. Not really.


What we see is the product of the finished work and not the events that took place in the secret.


The same way we see the output on the computer screen that is a product of requests, the layman would not understand or even know the processes that took place behind the screen for us to get our output.


The same way we may have no idea of the events, plots and battles already won for us in the spirit before the manifestations we see in the flesh.


Israel had just won two battles and they headed towards the promise land, the king of Moab, Balak, had seen how the Israelites defeated the Amorites, he knew he had to do something, so he sent for Balaam to be hired to curse the Israelites army:


Numbers 22:5-6

sent messengers to call Balaam son of Beor, who was living in his native land of Pethor near the Euphrates River. His message said:“Look, a vast horde of people has arrived from Egypt. They cover the face of the earth and are threatening me.

Please come and curse these people for me because they are too powerful for me. Then perhaps I will be able to conquer them and drive them from the land. I know that blessings fall on any people you bless, and curses fall on people you curse.”


You go out there to work, school, parliament or whatever business you are into and you think that everyone smiling at you has your best interest at heart. You err when you think you can be careless with everything and get away with it. No. That one who seems not to smile at you may be your true friend while those ones who smile at you may be the ones who plot against you when you are not present. The summary is - never lose guard do not be careless. Stay under His covering.


I love the way the Psalmist prophesied it.


Psalms 91:1-4

Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers. 

He will shelter you with his wings. 

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.


This does not mean that you look at everyone with hate or suspicion, No. It just means you should not be careless. Understand that your only true friend is the Lord God. You are blessed if you have faithful friends!


Your duty towards others is to love them!


Never lose guard, stay in prayer, stay in the word, keep on worshipping and live in faith and love.


I remember a military counsel, "don't forget the last man". That one you overlook may be the one that will destroy the whole mission.


Stay under God's cover continually.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Dear Lord help me to continually stay under your cover, may I never lose guard but be attentive to Your Spirit to know how to speak, act or be silent at all times. Lead me Dear Lord. I am safe in Your cover. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

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
