WRONG RISING< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Numbers 16
At every wrong assumption or perception there will be the danger of going down wrongly. Wrong assumption can be generated because of jealousy or empty pride. Wrong assumption can also be the result of insecurity or self-centeredness. All the writing was clear on the wall that Moses was not operating on his own power or understanding and that was enough for Korah and his entourage to know not to rise against Moses. ÒNow Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men; 2 and they rose up before Moses with some of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives of the congregation, men of renown.Ó (Numbers 16:1-2) It is hard to believe that some could ever thought of rising against Moses; not to talk of some that actually rose against Moses despite all that God did through him. Among those that rose against him were men of renowned not just ordinary people. There were two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation and representatives of congregation mentioned in the uprising against Moses. It was a solid and capable group that rose against him, but the hand of God was solidly behind Moses because he did not call himself; it was God who called him. As a leader that is called of God, are you experiencing any uprising in any area of your calling? If you are called of God, uprising storms will come and if you are yet to see one, it will come sooner or later. Moses did not fall for their rising so you will not fall either in Jesus Name. Numbers 16:3,ÓThey gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, ÒYou take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of the LORD?Ó The gathering was a very wrong move on the part of Korah and his group of opposition. It was a gathering against the wrong man. Are you in anyway gathering together against any one that is called of God? Ask God to deliver you form every conscious and unconscious gathering against any anointed of God. All those that gathered against Moses were gathering indirectly against the One who called him the leader of His people. This is what happened against Korah and his gang up group, ÒNow it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them, 32 and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with all their goods.Ó(Numbers 16:31-32) They were all buried before death and that is why you cannot be a part of any wrong rising.
