Numbers 20:12
But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them."
The Lord has commanded Moses to speak to the rock and water will be poured out from the rock. However, Moses struck the rock twice with his staff instead. It was clearly an act of disobedience and a demonstration of faithlessness. Moses did get water out frm the rock as the God commanded BUT he did not obey God's instruction as to how he shld perform this miraculous act.
How many times has we, as children of God, failed to obey God completely? partial obedience is still disobedience and it displeases God greatly. And also leaning on our wisdom surely will lead us to nowhere in the end. Moses leaned on his own understanding in doing things and thus he did not get the promised land.
What is surprising is that he actually lacked faith, faith to believe that God would really let water pour out when he speaks to the rock. Hasn't Moses witnessed numerous signs and wonders and even departed the Red Sea himself? He has even met God face to face in the holy of holies. Why was he faithless then? sometimes, are we like that as well? although witnessing how God has transformed our lives, blessed our grp and so on, we still have the tendency to doubt in God 's power. why so?
I pray that during this harvest period, i will approach this harvest season with great faith, a ridiculous faith to believe in every word of the Lord. We shall plunder hell and populate heaven. It shall be done! FIFTY FOR JESUS!
turn my unbelief to belief.
