FAITH CAPSULE: Negative confession is a complaint before God.

Numbers 14

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 complaint of the Israelites before God was a negative confession when they reacted to discouraging reports of the spies on the Promised Land. (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.
Do you have faith to wait on God without complaint not to become a victim of derailment from the promise of God?
Avoiding complaint before God is the discipline to wait, knowing that God waits to act for those who wait on Him. Isaiah 64:4, encourages all, “For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen any God besides You, who acts for the one who waits for Him.”
Every failure to wait on God will complain and become rebellious.
Pharaoh and his chariot could not stop Israelites from coming out of bondage, the Red Sea could not deny the Israelites journey to the Promised Land, while Jericho wall could not deny their advance journey to the Promised Land, but a complaint with negative confession denied the Israelites from getting to the Promised Land.
Numbers 14:28 records the response of God to the complaint of the Israelites: “Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the LORD, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: The carcasses of you who have complained against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.” 
Complaints with negative confession should be avoided in the journey of life. Give yourself to complementing God to avoid complaining, God is a living God that hears at time. 
Do not complain anymore.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not be a vessel of complaining before God.
