FAITH CAPSULE:\u00a0<\/strong>The move of Moses did not settle well with God.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Numbers 20<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is a God of order.\u00a0
No one is above obeying the command of God, and the command of God is not negotiable.\u00a0
Have you been commanded but yet to obey?\u00a0
It does not matter who you are, but it does matter not to despise the word of God.\u00a0
Simple disobedience denied Moses from getting to the Promised Land
To despise His word is to be destroyed.\u00a0
Proverbs 13:13<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0records,\u00a0\u201cHe who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
To despise the word of God is a lack of fear for God.\u00a0
Moses, as great as he was in the hand of God, could not step on the Promised Land because he despised the command of God, and there was no excuse to deliver him from the consequence of his error.
Numbers 20:7-8<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0states,\u00a0\u201cThen the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, \u201cTake the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Moses was to respond to the request of the children of Israel for water when God commanded him to speak to the rock.\u00a0
Moses did not speak as God commanded by God, but he engaged the command of God as it pleased him.
Numbers 20:11<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0states,\u00a0\u201cThen Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
Before he struck the rock, he called out to the children of Israel, a disobedience to the command of God for him.\u00a0
The move of Moses did not settle well with God.\u00a0
As a result, God responded to Moses and Aaron,\u00a0\u201c\u2026Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.\u201d (Numbers 20:12)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
A lifetime journey ended in the wilderness for Moses when he struck the rock instead of speaking as commanded by God.
Simple disobedience prevented Moses from getting to the Promised Land.\u00a0
Moses pleaded before God, but God did not reverse His judgment towards Moses.\u00a0
Indeed, to despise the command of God is not to fear God.
All live in the time of dispensation of grace, but it is not a reason to despise His command.\u00a0
Jesus indeed paid it all for us on the Calvary.\u00a0
However, the word questioned all,\u00a0\u201c\u2026Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?\u201d(Romans 6:1-2)<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0
The sin of Moses was enough for all to learn not to despise the command of God.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
