TOPIC: ARE YOU MOVING WITH THE CROWD? 3: Crowd Focuses On Fact Not Faith
MEMORY VERSE:
Matthew 18:19-20.
19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
BIBLE READING:
Numbers 14:6-10
.”6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;
7 and they spoke to allies the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.
8 If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”
10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel.”
When we speak about crowd, we are not excluding the church, as a matter of fact, the church is the starting point. Many members are Fact driving and not Faith driving. Some comments from strong member at times makes you think, “Is He a Christian?” Why? Because they are guided by what they see not what is yet to come. The crowd focuses on what is real now and not the yet to come, God is always excluded from their discussion that is why it’s easy for a member to say, “He’s preaching about me.” When you walk with the crowd your thinking is narrow to what you can see and not faith base.
Joshua said to the remaining ten and their flock,
“8 If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, …” But they wouldn’t listen because they saw giants in the land, they were moved by sight and not by Faith in God. You need to check what is leading your mind, Fact or Faith? Is God included in that counsel? Check the crowd you are flocking with, that may be the limitation between you and your destiny. The righteous will live by Faith.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
