MEMORIES

Text : Num 11:5 

We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:

We all have memories, some are good and some are not, but don't let your past debar you entry to your future. Memory  is the  ability to record information about things or events with the facility of recalling them later at will. 

Anyone with good memories will do well in examinations. This goes to show that memories can be good. However, memory is one of the things the devil uses in taking man away from the agenda of God.

God in His sovereignty chose to deliver the Isrealites from years of slavery in Egypt. Their slavery was such that they were not just manhandled, but they were being killed. 

Pharaoh, the then reigning King in Egypt gave an order for all the male-child of Isreal to be killed at birth, just to control the Israelis population and prosperity. Exodus 1:8-22.

God delivered the Isrealites nonetheless amidst stiff cruelty and demoralised hardship. 
Now, en route from slavery to promised land, you will think they will be jubilating all the way, but no, their memories kept them from seeing what God had done and is doing for them. Hear some of their complaints-

 _How we remember the fish that we used to eat in Egypt for free! And the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic!_ Num 11:5.

Imagine what their memories serve them with. Some memories will lead us to complain and murmur against God. It's a device of the enemy, and that's why we are told not to be ignorant of Satan's devices. 2 Cor.2:11.

Don't allow the devil to play a fast game on you through your memories. Whatever memories that make you to be bittered against God should be rightly dealt with like a plague, because it's one. 

Complaining is one grievous sin before the Lord Almighty. See what He did in Num 11:1  "Eventually, the people began complaining about their distress, and the LORD heard them. When the LORD heard, his anger flared up and the LORD’s fire incinerated some of them within the outskirts of the camp."

The very thing you complain about will be treasured by another if given the opportunity. Complaining brings depreciation. Quit complaining and start appreciating and you will truly appreciate.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
