FAITH CAPSULE: In your walk, declare the word and you will have rebellion become terminated.

Exodus 1: 26-46
 
Challenges before you are the indication that you are closer than when you first started your journey. The closer you are, the greater the challenges. This is the reason for an adage that says, “It is not the beginner that counts in a race but the one that finished the race.” For the Israelites, eleven-day journey became a forty-year journey.
Rebellion which is resistance or opposition to God’s command is what had the children of Israel stranded when they were supposed to be in motion to their God Promised Land. Deuteronomy 1:26 testifies, “Nevertheless you would not go up, but rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.”
It is clear in the word of God that their rebellious act was rooted in three major areas that saturated their faith: Complaint, discouragement, and fear. Which of these are yours at this point in time of your journey? If any of these are having a place in your vessel, you are headed for a dangerous end just like the children of Israel that could not get to the Promised Land.
Complaint: Deuteronomy 1:27 points out their act of complain, “And you complained in your tents, and said’ ‘Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.’” God is not one that hates and He could not have hated His children. That was not accurate then, it is not accurate now. God always sees His children through and never fail to deliver except man fails in His prescribed path of deliverance.
Discouragement:Deuteronomy 1:28 points out their discouragement, “Where can we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.’” Discouragement ravaged their hearts. Do not listen to a stranger’s voice when God is carrying you. God is not man that lies or deceives with His word. It is absolutely pointless to listen or see where He is not pointing at.
Fear: In Deuteronomy1:29, we see how fear ravaged them and led them to having their faith sank. It is written, “Then I said to you ‘Do not be terrified or afraid of them.’” God knew they were afraid, and it became evident that there was no longer faith in them. Their faith sank and fear rose and lifts them to their act of rebellion.
If you have been complaining, discouragement and fear is set to have a place in you. In your walk, declare the word and you will have complaint, discouragement and fear become terminated. Have a safe trip to your God Promised Land Do not entertain any act of rebellion.
