FAITH CAPSULE: What is denying you from seeing in the word of God that does not return to God?
Deuteronomy 1
The promises of God are His word in the pages of the bible.
Know to give self to the word of God to gain and retain the presence of God.
Many believers languish not able to see and possess the promises of God.
The ability to see what God says will provoke one to strive to gain the promise in the word of God.
God, in His word, promised the Israelites a land that flows with milk and honey (Promised Land). At a point in time, during their journey from the bondage of over four hundred years, they decided to dwell too long at Horeb.
In the journey of life, dwelling too long away from the promise of God is a terminating force that will deny one from the promise of God.
For example, the dwelling of the Israelites at Horeb prompted God to send Moses to the Israelites: “The Lord our God said to us at Horeb, “You have stayed long enough at this mountain. Break camp and advance into the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the mountains, in the western foothills, in the Negev, and along the coast, to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates. See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land…” (Deuteronomy 1:6-8)
The Israelites must have failed not to see in the promise of God and not strive to move to possess the Promised Land.
For the Israelites, doubt must have denied the seeing in the promise of God.
The doubt of the Israelites was evidence of short-sightedness which made their request for a spying mission.
In Deuteronomy 1:22, Moses testifies: “Then all of you came to me and said, “Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to.”
The doubt of Israelites denied them not to SEE in the word of God, as God commanded them to see.
The ability to see what God says will live life to possess His promise.
A month after months that you continue to dwell on the same ground will not take you to the promise of God.
What is denying you from seeing in the word of God that does not return to God?
It is time to ask for clarity of sight so that you may see in the word of God and be able to move and possess His promise for you.
Prayer for today: Ask God to enable your seeing in His promises.
