Numbers 33:1-4

The winning combination in all areas of life is boldness and character. When your boldness and character is intact, winning and being victorious will never be a stranger to you in all areas of life. The children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel were finally freed from the bondage of over four hundred years. Numbers 33:3, ÒThey departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians.Ó They left with boldness, but there was no character to carry them through, except Caleb and Joshua. The children of Israel were able to leave with boldness because they have just witnessed the move of the great, good, and merciful hand of deliverance of God. They saw their slave-masters of many years burying their firstborn children, while the firstborn children of the Israelites were full of life. They were glowing while the oppressors were groaning. They were endued with boldness. In the course of their journey, the smoke of bad character revealed itself when the complaining spirit in them surfaced. Complaint caused patience to subside, and their journey was terminated. Boldness, which comes from the testimonies of what God is doing, will deliver victory into your hand — if your character is rooted in the word of God. As a child of the almighty God, your deliverance is meant for you to be a winner and an overcomer. God did not deliver you to lead you into another bondage — you know better. God meant deliverance for your good. Ask God to endue you with the grace to hold on to His testimonies in all areas of your life.
