FAITH CAPSULE: The word of God is His promise.

Exodus 14

Life is a journey.
From January to March is a life journey.
It is a life journey, a great privilege of God, till today.
What accompanies you that you know or not?
The spirit of complaint accompanied the Israelites on their journey of deliverance from the bondage of over 400 years.
Instead of complementing God for their deliverance, they complained recklessly. Exodus 14:11 records their complaint, “Then they said to Moses, “Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness?” 
Word of God promised with the Promised Land, but the Israelites could not see in the word of God to claim the promise of God.
A failure not to see in the promise of God will not claim the promise of God.
Whatever anyone thinks or says will undoubtedly have a direct effect on such.
The Israelites saw fear, and as a result, they confessed negatively.
Pharaoh failed to deny the freedom of the Israelites, the Red Sea could not hold them down, and the wall of Jericho could not cut their passage to the promise of God.
The complaint denies the Israelites.
Proverbs 18:21 warns, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.”
1 Peter 3:10 admonishes all, “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.”
The compliant ones will easily find God to become a victim of the wrong side of God.
Complaining is a wrongdoing.
God owes no one, but all owe God to thank God for His goodness and mercy.
God is worthy and to be praised and worshiped.
Psalm 150:6 states, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”
Are you one who gives to God by complementing Him?
Give regard to God for all He has done and all He is doing.
Do not become one that does not give God His due attention.
God responded to the Israelites by sending Moses, ” Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: 29 The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness…” (Numbers 14:28)
PRAYER
Ask that in the privilege of life journey, whatever does not glorify God that you carry (complaint spirit was the baggage of the Israelites) be permanently separated from your life.
A failure not to see in the promise of God will not claim the promise of God. Ask that the inability to see in the word of God shall not have a place in your life. (Abraham, Jonah, and others needed to see in the word of God. It is what you see that you receive to become of you)
Ask God to occupy your mind so you will not be complaining as a way of life.
