SPIRITUALITY AND FAITH

While leading the Israelites through the wilderness, God handed Moses tablets of commandments to guide the people in their new faith and journey with God. He returned from God's presence and found the people worshiping idols, out of anger, he broke the tablet of commandments. (Exodus 20).

After labouring so hard for forty years through the wilderness, Moses got infuriated by the murmuring, grumbling and ingratitude shown by his people on a hot and thirsty day. God gave him a simple instruction, but instead he goes way overboard with it out of anger. He smote a rock when God asked him to speak to it and he lost the reward of entering into the promise land….his forty years of labour all in vain. That seed of untamed anger waited right at the edge of his long awaited breakthrough.

Evil seeds manifest in different ways, Apostle Paul described them as works of the flesh; adultery, fornication, envy, murder, rebellion, unforgiveness, jealousy, pride, strife, emulation, drunkenness, stubbornness, hatred, idolatry, variance, perversions and such like….those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5,V19-21)

The seed of anger stopped Moses. What you do not stop will stop you. Deal with that seed before it delays you and others, displaces you from greatness, deprives and robs you from all that God has prepared for you.

"Certain people will only be saved because you got saved, some will be delivered because of your deliverance, ...."

delivered because of your deliverance, some will break out of bondage and the yokes of darkness because of what God did in and for you.

We must be mindful that heaven connects destinies. Some destinies connected to yours will only reach their fullest when you fulfill your own God given mandate.

God gave Moses a second chance, appeared to him in a burning bush, totally unheard of and restored him to his original agenda and heavenly assignment of delivering his people, the Israelites, from harsh slavery and captivity. (Exodus 3, v1-3)

"The seed of anger stopped Moses. What you do not stop will stop you. Deal with that seed before it delays

you and others, ...."
