GOD IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES 📖Anchor Scripture: Numbers 22.1-6 NKJV💥 [1] Then the children of Israel moved, and camped in the plains of Moab on the side of the Jordan across from Jericho. [2] Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. [3] And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel. [4] So Moab said to the elders of Midian, “Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field.” And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time. [5] Then he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying: “Look, a people has come from Egypt. See, they cover the face of the earth, and are settling next to me! [6] Therefore please come at once, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land, for I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.” 💥Further Study: Numbers 22, 23 and 24. 🌼The Israelites have crossed from Egypt and are now on their way to the promised land and have fought some wars, which they won. Balam is summoned by Balak to curse the Israelites so that they would not win against the Moabites. 📖 Scripture: Numbers 23.8 NKJV- Balaam first refuses to curse them but in Revelation 2.14 they show how he later made them break the hedge on their lives. 🌹Most of the time, we miss the fact that when Moab, in relation to Balak's plot to destroy Israel, this information was not known to Israel. Just because they didn't know what Moab was planning doesn't mean there was no plot of evil against them. 🌼There are many times God will fight for you even without you knowing that He is fighting for you. Many of us are misaligned with what God is doing behind the scenes. God is always working behind the scenes. 📖 Scripture: 2 Kings 11.1-2 NKJV- A queen called Athaliah planned to kill the whole lineage of David. But Jehosheba hid one of the sons (Joash) of the king. God was working even then. 🌹Most times we are spiritually immature to see what God is doing. 1 Corinthians 2.14 (AMP) teaches that carnality can disconnect a man from what God is doing. It takes a level of maturity to discern what God is doing. 📖 Scripture: 2 Kings 6.12-17 NKJV- The chariot of fire was around Elisha and it only extended to the servant because of proximity. Sometimes you can be saved because of proximity to the anointed. 🌼One of the most common forms of blindness is to the angels that are around us. None of us walks alone. Hebrews 1.14 tells us that angels are ministers to us. 📖 Scripture: Hebrews 13.2 NKJV- Angels can come in the form of any man, and it is important to have discernment for them. They also desire to know the things we know (1 Peter 1.21). 📖 Scripture: Psalms 91.11-12 NKJV- God works through the angels to keep us. The angels attend to even the slightest details of your life. In verse 12, the stones could mean small accidents that can lead to big disasters. 🔥GOD IS WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES 📖 Scripture: Isaiah 45.15 MSG- God never stops working, he is always working behind the scenes. 📖 Scripture: John 5.17 AMP- God has never ceased working; He is still working. Situations we see should never make us think that God is not working. This is why we should always give thanks for even things that do not seem to be working. 🔥YOU ARE NOT ALONE 🔥SOME TESTIMONIES WILL COME IN A MESS BUT REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE ON A JOURNEY 📖 Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4.16-17 MSG- Do not judge people because they look like a misfit, you might find that is the very mess God is working with. 🌹When you connect to an altar and its spiritual heritage, God will do the same things working in the ministry in your life. 💥Practical wisdom to apply on this journey💥 🎯Trust God without presumption 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 3.5 NKJV- Trust God with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. The things God will do may never be understood by the mind but by faith we understand. Learn to trust God. ❗️Disclaimer: Do not use this as a reason to be careless. There is a place for hard work and prudence. 🎯Be obedient in the Little or small things. 📖 Scripture: Luke 16.10 NKJV- Be faithful in the little. 📖 Scripture: Micah 6.8 NLT- When God instructs you to do something do it. 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 1.33 NKJV- Be obedient 🌼Hidden help is often met by ordinary faithfulness. 🎯Resist the spirit of anxiety and fatalism. 📖 Scripture: Philippians 4.6 NKJV- Anxiety frustrates the work of God because it is a sign that you do not believe Him. 🌹Fatalism is the belief that things are subject to fate and are inevitable to happen. To think that events were predetermined, cast in stone and never changeable. There are things that God decides but there are things not in the will of God. 📖 Scripture: Jeremiah 29.11 KJV- God has no evil plan against you. 🌼Learn to relate with God as your Father and understand there is no evil He would wish against His own children (Matthew 7.11). You will never build faith until you relate to God as your Father. 📖 Scripture: Lamentations 3.33 MSG- God takes no pleasure in doing evil against you. 🌹Do not entertain fatalism, God has good plans for you. The plans he has for you are for prosperity and not to harm you. When you know God's will about your destiny, affirm and speak those things on your life and refuse to feed thoughts of evil (Proverbs18.21). 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 23.7 KJV- Your thoughts matter (2 Corinthians 10.6). 🌼Fatalism states that it's the fate for all men to weaken as they age. The fallen world has it that men have to grow weak as they age but let God be true and every man a liar. 📖 Scripture: Deuteronomy 33.25 NKJV- The longer you live the stronger you shall be. 📖 Scripture: Deuteronomy 34.7 MSG- Moses was 120, but even his eyesight was still sharp. 📖 Scripture: Psalms 103.5 NKJV- Refuse to confess weaknesses over your body. 📖 Scripture: Isaiah 65.20 MSG/NKJV- We are entering a generation where a hundred years will be too young. 📖 Scripture: Psalms 91.16 NKJV- Do not stake your life on those who went ahead of you. 📖 Scripture: Psalms 90.12 NKJV- We can number our days. 📖 Scripture: Proverbs 4.18 NKJV- The Scriptures have already told you what your future will be. ❗️Disclaimer: Do not confuse trust with the principles laid out in scripture to preserve you. 🎯Keep your spiritual eyes open 📖 Scripture: Matthew 13.25 NKJV- Asleep here means closing eyes through intellectualism and teaching the law etc. We keep our eyes open through the word; be a consistent hearer of the word. 🔥🔥🔥 HALLELUJAH 🔥🔥🔥
