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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
