FAITH CAPSULE: <\/strong>Listen attentively to no man but to God\u2019s word of promise.<\/p>\n

Numbers 13<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Only listen attentively to the word of God. There is no how long man have been dislodged or displaced; God is more than able to reverse the irreversible. Man\u2019s trouble might be too hard but God is more than able to resettle man for better. If you will listen attentively God\u2019s word, wait on the word of God, be renewed in strength and not faint. God alone made the heavens and earth by His great power that cannot fail. Will you listen to wait on His word?
\nFor over four hundred years, the Israelites were displaced into bondage. For over four hundred years it seemed as if there was no way out but God spoke through Moses, \u201c\u2026I have said I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.\u201d (Exodus 3:17) <\/em><\/strong>If man will listen attentively to the word of God there shall be no failure. God has spoken, God is still speaking and what He says is a done deal. Are you listening to His word? The Israelites could not listen attentively.
\nSince the pollution of man in the Garden of Eden by the deceiver, man has continued not to listen attentively for God\u2019s word. The children of Israel did not take Him for His word as a result, they failed to move and possess all the promised word of God. Numbers 13:1-3 <\/em>recorded, \u201cAnd the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, \u2018Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, everyone a leader among them.\u2019\u201d<\/em> Moses played his role by relaying the message as delivered unto him for the Israelites. All that the children of Israel needed to do was to go and spy out the land which God was giving them.
\nIn life, listening attentively will deliver result in the promise of God. The spies checked the land and came back with negative report. Giving negative report of God\u2019s promise was making the word of God a liar which is the evidence of lack of faith. The spy reported negative confession, \u201c\u2026The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are great men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we are like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we are in their sight.\u2019\u201d (Numbers 13:32-33)<\/em> All the people who received and believed spy\u2019s report died. Listen attentively to no man but to God\u2019s word of promise.<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for the grace to enable your listening attentively to His word for your life.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
