Lesson 227: MOSES, A MAN OF DESTINY – PART 18

INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we saw the trouble created for Moses and the Israelites by the mixes multitude that went with them when left Egypt, today, we wish to look at a very crucial happening in the life of Moses and his people. The People were now at the very border of the Promised Land and yet because of an incident, they could not enter in, may the Lord teach us tonight in Jesus Name. Amen.

1. MAJORITY COULD BE WRONG
The spies brought two reports: a majority report that says “we cannot” and a minority report that says “we can”. On this occasion, majority was wrong. Consequently, you must be careful that you do not let others decided for you, particularly on matters affecting where you will spend your eternity.

Num. 13:26-33; Matt. 7:13-14; Exo. 23:2; Ps. 23:1; Rom. 14:12; Ps. 23:6; Isa. 48:18.

2. “DO NOT FOLLOW THOSE WHO ALWAYS SAY, IMPOSSIBLE”
If you are going to make your home, never follow those who always say, “Impossible”. Of course, you must not rely on your own ability or resources, but let your faith be in God and His unchangeable word. People’s opinions may change, but the Lord never changes.

Matt. 19:26, Zec. 4:6; Rom. 8:31; Matt. 9:28-29; Heb. 13:8; Mal. 3:6; Isa. 40:8.

3. NEVER MOVE WITHOUT GOD
If you even sin, and God forbid, do not start anything afterward until (i) You have thoroughly repented, (ii) you are sure that you are fully restored to God (iii) and never go ahead unless God is going with you. You have a leader who is closely following God, follow him.

Num. 14:40-45; Ps. 23:3-4; 1 Cor. 11:1; 1 Cor. 4:16; Num. 14:37-38.
