Good morning people of God. How are you doing today? I trust that you are basking in the glory of God. The Lord is indeed good and am experiencing it. I feel very excited every morning to share with you the understanding of the word of God as the spirit leads and today is not an exception.
Today's reading is from Numbers 16:1-end and our memory verse is coming from Numbers 12:3 "Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all men that were on the face of the earth." What is meekness?
Meekness is a state of being meek, one will ask what does it mean to be meek? To be meek means to be patient under injuries, to nurture in gentleness and humility. The bible in our memory verse described Moses as a very meek person and he was the most meek man on the face of earth at the time, this quality of Moses enabled him to manage the children of Israel with their impatient and irrational attitude and it was recorded for him as greatness.
Our world today is filled with impatient and irrational people and we as Christians must in one way or the other have dealings with them, do we have to treat them with meekness or not? The answer is in the bible reading for today, Moses on many occasion was faced with the children of Israel challenging the authority God has bestowed on him. One of those encounters was when his own blood sister Miriam and Aaron challenged his authority, in this case God Himself dealt with Miriam and she ended up with leper and Moses pleaded on her behalf and the leprosy only lasted for seven days, another is Korah, Dathan and Eliab the three had a company of Two Hundred and Fifty people who claimed to also be holy just like Moses, in their case Moses saved the congregation of the children of Israel and let Korah and his team face God's wrath. It will interest you to know that God intended to wipe away all the children Israel because of what Korah and his men did but Moses intervened. The most striking one is the case of the children of Israel murmuring against Moses and Aaron after Korah and his men were wiped off, God sent a plaque to wipe them off the earth but Moses intervened, sent Aaron to make atonement for the people. What a meek man Moses was!
You will agree with me that someone who is not meek that has a close relationship with God like Moses had would not have tolerated the children of Israel as much as Moses did.
To be meek is not an easy thing, it takes the grace of God but it is rewarding in the end. I therefore pray for you today that the spirit of meekness will possess you in Jesus name, Amen.
Absence of meekness breeds intolerance, wars and excess violence. In our bid to prove to the next person we cannot be taken for granted we shed innocent blood and maim our fellow human beings. The absence of meekness is why relationships are suffering in recent times especially marriages. It is also why our young ones are drifting away int cultism and engaging in violent activities. May the Lord pour upon His children the spirit of meekness in Jesus name, Amen
Till i come your way again, remain blessed.
