TOPIC: MOVING WITH THE CROWD 3: Fact Not Faith Oriented
MEMORY VERSE:
Matthew 18:19-20.
19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
BIBLE READING:
Numbers 14:6-10
."6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;
7 and they spoke to allies the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.
8 If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’
9 Only do not rebel against the LORD, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the LORD is with us. Do not fear them.”
10 And all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Now the glory of the LORD appeared in the tabernacle of meeting before all the children of Israel."
Thinking Point:
Faith and Fact should be based on individuality and not generality.
A Faith-filled day ahead of us today in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
When we speak of the crowd, we are not excluding the church, as a matter of fact, the church is the starting point. Many members are Fact driving and not Faith driving. Some comments from strong member at times makes you think, "Is He a Christian?" Why? Because they are guided by what they see not what is yet to come - Faith. The crowd focuses on what is real (now) and not the yet to come, God is always excluded from their discussion that is why it's easy for a member to keep asking for facts and not Faith. When you walk with the crowd your thinking is narrow to what you can see and not faith-based.
Joshua said to the remaining ten and their folks,
"8 If the LORD delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ..." But they wouldn't listen because they saw giants in the land, they were moved by sight and not by Faith in God. You need to check what is leading your mind, Fact or Faith? Is God included in that counsel? Check the crowd you are moving with, that may be the limitation between you and your destiny. The righteous shall live by Faith and not by sight.
John 20:24-25, 28-29
"24. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came."
"25. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe."
"28. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."
"29. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
Don't wait until you see before you believe. Believe everything God has revealed and spoken to you, they are meant to be Faith-based not fact based. Stop following the footsteps of those who live by sight, live by Faith in God's word.
Good Day and God Bless you.
