FAITH CAPSULE: Are you complaining to confess negatively before God?

Numbers 14:1-38

Complaining in the journey of life does not have a place before God.
Complaining instead of complementing God will not be committed to God, to deny arrival at the destination in the journey of life.
Are you complaining before God? 
Do not complain, it is the expression of dissatisfaction with God that will position one for a painful journey of life.
One thing God cannot do is: He cannot fail!
In every way of life, complaint, the expression of dissatisfaction with a negative confession is not acceptable before God. The word of God warned: “Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?” (Ecclesiastes 5:6)
The written word of God is a manual of life, to lead with direction to arrive at the destination of the journey of life.
Importantly, give self to the word of God, not to look away from God’s word which is the evidence of taking distance from God.
It was the complaint against God that set the Israelites for a painful journey of life.
The Bible records the complaints of the Israelites, “So all the congregation lifted up their voices and cried, and the people wept that night. And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, “If only we had died in the land of Egypt! Or if only we had died in this wilderness! Why has the LORD brought us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become victims? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?” So they said to one another, “Let us select a leader and return to Egypt.” (Numbers 14:1-4) 
The Israelites’ complaint before God was a negative confession when they reacted to the spy’s discouraging report that was against the Promised Land for the Israelites. (Numbers 13:26-29) 
Are you complaining to confess negatively before God?
One with the complaint will rebel before God.
The Israelites at the coming out of the bondage of over four hundred years’ complaint and rebel before God.
As a believer, avoiding compliant before God is rooted in trusting and hoping on God. One that knows to trust and hope in the Lord shall experience the blessing of God as Jeremiah 17:7 states, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” Calling on God for His intervention is trust; waiting on God, without doubt, is the evidence of having hope in God.
Complaints with negative confession should be avoided in the journey of life.

Prayer for today: Ask from God not to become a victim of complaining.
