TOPIC: BELIEVE IN GOD
NUMBERS 13:26-33
Key Verse: "And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it" (Numbers 13:30).
Moses sent twelve men to search out the land of Canaan to see the way the land was and the people that lived there. He told them to be courageous as they went to survey the land.
However, when they came back, they said many bad things about the land. Their evil report discouraged the children of Israel from possessing it. The report made them afraid.
It was only Joshua and Caleb that brought home a favourable report, they believed that God would help them to overcome the people. Unbelief can hinder the manifestation of God's promises in one's life. Jesus said, "... If you canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth".
The men that brought the evil report focused on the land and the people of the land. They did not focus on God who promised to give them the land and who has the power to give them the land.
God has promised His children many good things, but we need to believe His promises. In every situation, focus on Jesus and not on the problem. Believe in Jesus and all things will be possible to you.
Prayer: God, give me the grace to believe Your promises.
