FAITH CAPSULE: Denial disobedience to live for God.

Numbers 20

Disobedience to the word of God erases disobedient ones not to gain the rightful place of God.
There is no negotiation to disobey God.
It does not matter who you are, but it does matter not to disobey the word of God.
Disobedience to God is evidence of not having the fear of God.
Sin and sinning are rooted in disobedience.
Sin or disobedience does not settle with God.
The word questions all: “…Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?” (Romans 6:1-2) 
Sin, disobedience, does not have a place before God.
To be disobedient is to take a position of disorder.
Disobedience is a track to disobedience.
To disobey His word is to be destroyed. 
Proverbs 13:13 warns all, “He who despises the word will be destroyed, but he who fears the commandment will be rewarded.” 
Disobedience to the word of God is the lack of fear of God. 
Moses, as great as he was in the hand of God, could not step on the Promised Land because he disobeyed the command of God.
The disobedience of Moses is no excuse to deliver him from the consequences of his error.
The Bible records the disobedience of Moses: 
“Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” (Numbers 20:7-8) 
Moses was to respond to the children of Israel for water when God commanded him to speak to the rock. 
Moses did not speak as God commanded him but disobeyed by pleasing himself against the command of God. 
The Bible records in Numbers 20:11, “Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod, and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.” 
Moses struck the rock in the place to speak as commanded by God.
The disobedience of Moses did not settle well with God. 
As a result, God responded to Moses and Aaron, “…Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.” (Numbers 20:12) 
A lifetime journey ended up in the wilderness for Moses when he struck instead of speaking to become denied from getting to the Promised Land. 
Disobedience is a spirit that leads to denial to claim the blessing of God.
Fear God, live by His word, and not become a victim of sin and sinning before God.
The sin of Moses is with no excuse before God, but it is enough for all to learn not to disobey the command of God. 

Prayer for today: Ask to be delivered from the spirit of disobedience.
