TOPIC : UNDERSTANDING LOYALTY
(Special edition)
TEXT: NUMBERS 12:1-15
LOYALTY CHALLENGES SUPERIOR'S
b) Superiors defend their loyal proteges
God found Moses to be faithful loyal.
My servant Moses...is faithful in all mine house - Numbers 12:7.
Moses enjoyed God's defence against any aggression.
Aaron and Miriam Moses' siblings who were working under Moses, spoke against Moses and said: Has the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses? has he not spoken also by us? And the LORD heard it - Numbers 12:2.
God rebuked them in these words: With him (Moses) will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? - Numbers 12:8. Miriam, though older than Moses was punished by God and she became leprous.
Korah, Abiram, Dathan, and the sons of Reuben stood against Moses and Aaron their leaders. And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, You take too much upon you... wherefore then lift you up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD? - Numbers 16:3.
Moses pronounced their punishment. If these men die the common death of all men,... then the LORD has not sent me. But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up - Numbers 16:29-30.
God did exactly that. And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods - Numbers 16:31-32.
Know this, loyalty of a protege is a weapon of defence in the hands of any superior.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
