FAITH CAPSULE: It is worthy to stop complaining and start counting God’s blessing.

Numbers 14

Blessings of God is rooted in His faithfulness. Psalm 89:1 recorded, “I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever; With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.” Are you counting or are you complaining? Counting blessings is praising Him for what He has done to provoke more of His doing. Complaining will complicate man’s journey.  Regardless of what your challenges are, it is important to see it in the word of God that the Lord is more than able to see you through. Begin to see it that the One who turned the rock into a pool of water and the flint into a fountain of waters (Psalm 114:8) is more than able to turn around your story above and beyond your expectation. See it that God does not slumber nor sleep but He is awake and mindful of you in your challenging situation.
It is important to know that complaining does not settle well before God. Complaining is sin and God will not overlook sin. God did not overlook the complaint of the children of Israel against Him. Assuredly, your complaint against God shall get His attention. Complaining of the Israelites complicated their journey. For the Israelites, their journey of eleven days turned to the journey of forty years. The Israelites complaint caused them to wander in the   wilderness when they supposed to be a wonder to their world.
If you will see the wonders of God in the word of God, you will do exploit to God’s glory. The time of the year is not evidence that God’s visitation for your breakthrough has expired.
Have you been complaining in any way you have taken to? The Israelites took to the way of wilderness which supposed to be a passage for them to pass through, but they ended up living their life in the wilderness. The complaining of the generation that came out of Egypt caused them to live life in the wilderness and to wandered and died in their wilderness journey. Wonder of God was meant to be the journey from bondage to promised land but not to wander and wasted in the wilderness.
Have you seen or experienced any of His acts in your life? The book of Numbers 14:22-23 documented, “Because all these men who have seen My glory and the signs which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have put Me to the test now these ten times, and have not heeded My voice, they certainly shall not see the land of which I swore to their fathers, nor shall any of those who rejected Me see it.” It is worthy to stop complaining and start counting God’s blessing by identifying each of His blessings. See what God has done and it will enable you to see through what He will do.  Can you count and see your blessings this year?

Prayer for today: Ask God to deliver you from the spirit of complain.
