Faith Capsule: Avoid the consequences of dissension.

Numbers 12

Consider this, during the days of Moses, “Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. So they said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the LORD heard it…” (Numbers 12:1-3) The dissension of Aaron and Miriam was a blow to the whole population of the children of Israel which caused delayed answer in the lives of the Israelites journey. The Israelites could not move forward but suffered the consequences of the dissension of Aaron and Miriam.
Are you wondering delay is at your open door?
What are the causes of your delay?
This day, consider taking your challenge to God in prayer and not to become a victim of evil agenda. The Bible stated: “Miriam was shut out of the camp seven days, and the people did not journey till Miriam was brought in again. And afterward the people moved from Hazeroth and camped in the Wilderness of Paran.” Just because of Miriam the whole entourage suffered stagnation. Miriam’s situation is not acceptable because it will reposition man uncomfortable.
Adam and Eve’s disobedience was the cause of curse to all generation. Genesis 2:16-17, “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”  Death was not in the plan of God for man but Adam and Eve’s provocation of God brought death to life. The situation of Adam and Eve can be understood but the excuse was not acceptable to God. Disobedience of Adam and Eve opened up the door of death for all man. At times when challenges such as stagnation, mockery, rejection come to place in the life of an individual, the source is either known or unknown. In the book of Genesis, it was mentioned how Adam and Eve’s disobedience caused every man and woman’s generational curse.
Are you experiencing any kind of stagnation in any area of life with no idea of its source?  Miriam’s case is stated: “…Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!” (Numbers 12:13) Undoubtedly, the prayer of Moses changed the situation from stagnation into motion. Concerning your stagnation, consider crying out to the Lord for His divine intervention. Today, working out one’s salvation through the blood of Jesus is not a discouragement but an encouraging avenue to seek God for His lovingkindness and mercy.

Prayer for today: Ask God to open you up with listening and understand in His word of direction.
