NUMBERS 32 LESSONS: BE HUMBLE & EXPLAIN YOURSELF

*NUMBERS 32 LESSONS: BE HUMBLE & EXPLAIN YOURSELF*

_Key Bible Text:_
*"They approached Moses and said, "First, allow us to build stone enclosures here for our sheep and fortified towns for our dependents. Then we will be ready to go with the other Israelites into battle and lead the attack until we have settled them in the land that will be theirs. In the meantime, our dependents can live here in the fortified towns, safe from the people of this land."*
(Numbers 32:16-17 (GNB))

*_Bible Insight:_*
If you have been following this series on lessons from the Book of Numbers 32, you must have seen the length Moses went in warning and speaking almost harshly against the Children of Gad and Reuben. He did so for their best interest because a 40-year mistake is not a small one. It is one that never should be repeated. So he was in order. More importantly however, is the response of the Children of Gad and Reuben. 

The first thing to be observed is that they did not feel like Moses was being too stern or too loud or unnecessarily quick to correct them. Rather, they humbled themselves and approached Moses with a win-win approach to the situation, a situation that could become very disturbing if not well handled. The fact that they thought of a way to have the land and still go ahead with their fellows to fight, shows how serious and visionary they were. 

Sometimes, when people oppose our views and are quick to try to correct us, without first hearing us out, rather than quickly pick offense, listen to them and after hearing out what they have to say, go ahead and explain yourself. Your explanation will reveal how you have even thought through the situation and have decided to take a more win-win or other successful approaches. 

Be humble. Take instructions. Take corrections. And more importantly be willing to explain yourself especially to people that deserve to know. Never feel too big to explain yourself to people that matter- your spouse, your superiors, your colleagues, your parents, your in-laws, etc.  

MEDITATION:
*"Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning."* (Proverbs 9:8-9 (KJV))

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

What's Your Focus?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B

As Jesus or As yourself?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien
