TAKE ACTION

Text: Matthew 7:7.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

A number of times, you complain over what you should take action on. The truth is, complaints will never get the work done, it can only worsen the situation.

The story was told about Zelophehad  who had five daughters and no son. Just like what is practised in many cultures, the female child has no inheritance in Isreal, hence, these five daughters had no possession allotted to them from their father's relatives.

Instead of sulking and complaining under their breath, these bold daughters of Zelophehad took action -they went to Moses and the elders of Isreal and say,  “Our father died in the wilderness, but he wasn’t with the company of those who gathered against the LORD along with the company of Korah. He died in his own sin, and he had no sons.
Why are you going to eliminate the name of our father from his family, just because he had no son? Give us a possession from among our father’s relatives.” Numbers 27:3-4.

Moses took their matter up to God and the LORD told Moses,
“The daughters of Zelophehad are telling the truth. You are certainly to give to them a possession for an inheritance among their father’s relatives. You are to pass on the inheritance of their father to them. Numbers 27:7.

Did you know that because these ladies took action in the right direction, God changed the narrative for the whole Isrealites because of them.

God told Moses to tell the Israelis that when a man dies without a son, you are to pass his inheritance to his daughter.Numbers 27:8.

Somethings will not change when you sit still and do nothing. Imagine, The all-knowing God wants you to ask before you can receive. If you said He knows your mind and thoughts and refused to ask, then you will not receive.

Somethings will not come by mere wishing or complaining, they will come to you because you chose to take action in the direction of what you are looking for. No inheritance will jump into the laps of Zelophehad's daughters if they refused to ask for it.

You can take action on that project today and see God move on your behalf.

 *BIBLE READING* 

Numbers 27:1-11.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father God, I receive the grace to take action in the right at the right time in Jesus name.

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
