TEXT NUMBERS 27:12-23
TOPIC : PILLARS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
[12]And the LORD said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given unto the children of Israel.
[13]And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered.
[14]For ye rebelled against my commandment in the desert of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the water before their eyes: that is the water of Meribah in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.
[18]And the LORD said unto Moses, Take thee Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the spirit, and lay thine hand upon him;
[19]And set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation; and give him a charge in their sight.
[20]And thou shalt put some of thine honour upon him, that all the congregation of the children of Israel may be obedient
[22]And Moses did as the LORD commanded him: and he took Joshua, and set him before Eleazar the priest, and before all the congregation:
[23]And he laid his hands upon him, and gave him a charge, as the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.
Dearly beloved, one of my lowest points in my study of the bible was the rejection of Moses.
I personally felt that he did so much that he should be forgiven and allowed to get to the finishing line, but that was my humanity playing out.
Moses' rejection taught us a principle from the bible.
This principle is that the higher you move with God, the more He expects of you.
God expects you to grow as you relate with Him.
He expects a higher level of spirituality, knowledge and wisdom from you.
Moses might not know that while he was working that God was preparing a replacement.
This is because the kingdom project cannot fail.
Beloved, how are you handling your role?
How are you handling your assignment?
Do you realize that we all can be replaced, including you?
Refuse to let another receive your crown.
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
