FAITH CAPSULE: The Israelites were mixed-up with the multitude and could not arrive at the promise of God.

The multitude is a crowd, a state of many.
A journey with the many is bound not to arrive at the calling by God. Matthew 20:16 admonishes, “…For many are called, but few chosen.” 
There is a tendency to be crowded, not to see or rise over challenges to derail the called one.
The crowd in life can be a hindrance.
The calling of the Israelites to the Promised Land was delayed, derailed to deny because they mixed with a multitude that was not of God. 
Exodus 12:38 records, “A mixed multitude went up with them…”  
Pray against accompanying yourself with the crowd.
What role is the multitude/crowd doing in your life? 
Multitude could be a hindrance.
If a multitude is allowed in life, it will deny one from getting to where the LORD has destined for one to be. 
The Israelites exposed themselves to the multitude that denied them not to arrive at the destiny of God for their life.
When a mix-up with the multitude is allowed in life, confusion is bound to experience failure. 
Where there is a mix-up with the multitude, disorderliness shall predominate.
In the place of a mix-up with the multitude, confusion, mistake, and misunderstanding will be in place.
As an acclaimed believer, are you searching for yourself to identify the multitude in your life?
For the Israelites, at the onset of the journey to freedom, Exodus 12:38 said, “A mixed multitude went up with them…”  
God did not call the Israelites to go with the multitude, but they went with them, and the consequence led them to destruction.
Numbers 11:4-6 records the damage of the mixed-up multitudes that went with the Israelites, ” Now the mixed multitude who were among them yielded to intense craving; so the children of Israel also wept again and said: “Who will give us meat to eat? 5 We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic; 6 but now our whole being is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!” 
The Israelites were mixed-up, confused, confessed negativity before God, and could not arrive at the Promised Land. 
Numbers 14:27-29 records the cause of the Israelites before God, “How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the complaints which the children of Israel make against Me. 28 Say to them, ‘As I live,’ says the Lord, ‘just as you have spoken in My hearing, so I will do to you: 29 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.” 
What is it that is confusing you to be confessing negative in the place of positive before God? 
The Israelites were mixed-up with the multitude and could not arrive at the promise of God.

Prayer for today: Ask that you will not become a victim of the multitude.
