TOPIC : ITS TIME FOR A NEW BEGINNING
THE CONSEQUENCES OF REBELLION.
TEXT NUMBERS 16:28-33
28 And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
29 If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the LORD hath not sent me.
30 But if the LORD make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them, and they go down quick into the pit; then ye shall understand that these men have provoked the LORD.
31 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:
32 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.
33 They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
God hates rebellion and assigns capital punishment to rebellion.
The reason is that God's project on earth is too serious to be destroyed by any person or group of persons.
Jesus said, I will build my church, the gates of hell will not prevail.
No resistance from hell will ever prevail against the invading army of Heaven.
Korah felt that Moses was taking too much and ganged up with some rebels to weaken the project of Elohim but he ended up burying his entire family.
Numbers 1-3 :
1 Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men:
2 And they rose up before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty princes of the assembly, famous in the congregation, men of renown:
3 And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?
The first rebellion was with the most popular angel, so Korah gathered around him men of stature to stand against Moses.
They thought they were challenging Moses, but they were challenging project God.
My advice to you this year is to avoid any issue that will bring you in collision with what God is building around you.
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
