A Message From the Word


Never forget in the light, what God has spoken ti you in the darkness


At Zion Church, Pastor Battle continued the series "Journey to your Dream"  One of his points was : 'Don't forget what said'  He used the story of the Israelite in  Numbers 1to illustrate his point.  As you read the entire story of the Israelites up to this point, you notice that Canaan was the land God promised to them several times.  God told them and their ancestors "  enter the land of Canaan, which I am giving you as your possession ".  He also told them that He'd drive out the inhabitants wrongfully owning the land.  Yet, when the opportunity to cease their property and witness a promise fulfilled came, they forgot the Word of the Lord and made a decision based on fear (another good point/message for another day).  Often as Christians we do the same thing.  We allow fear and our current situation to alter our destiny.  In times of trouble and desperation, instead of relying on God's Word and reminding ourselves of His promises we get scared and walk away from God's plan.  Be careful not to end up like the many  Israelites who ended up never seeing the promise land because they couldn't trust and believe in God's plan.  Meditate on God's Word and treasure His promises. 




Scripture:


Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.” (Numbers 1: 30)
