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

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
