The introduction:- Numbers 22:1- 8
Tells us the worry of the people of Moab and their King...
The Mission was for Balaam to Curse Israel, and make them weak for attack. Numbers 22:11
God is a promise keeper, regardless what you think or say, He never goes back on His word...
He promised Abraham years before this incident (Genesis 12:1-3), this old promise was encrypted in the heart of God and He made sure this promise He kept even up till this very moment.
Most times the reason why we bump into series of troubles in life is because we purposely flout God's instructions, and most times He Himself stands against us(not all battles are enemy related)... Numbers 22:18-22
Did you notice God told him to go with them the next morning but must only speak and act on His instructions, but when he actually went with them the next morning God was angry...
You might no longer hear God speak again because of how deep and lost you might have fallen into sin which has cut you off your relationship with God, well He surely will use the most unlikely source to talk to you or warn you... It now boils down to you, will you obey?
God does what science can never define nor prove and He also altered the law of nature just for the sake of Israel and His greedy prophet Balaam... Numbers 22:28-33
See how the Angel of the Lord pointed out the intention of Balaam as to why he was sent to kill him Numbers 22:32
Every man in sin today was pushed into it based on the intents of his heart and desires...
What are those things you truly desire and crave for?
In the bid for Balak to curse Israel Balaam spoke the heart of the Lord
Numbers 23:19 - "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"
This statement shows why He did not allow Balaam to grant Balak's wishes. His promise to Abraham was top priority to Him.
Do you have a promise of God hovering over your head? And it feels like God has stepped back on His promises... No, He is still faithful to that or those promises which He has promised you, all you have to do is just go back and check whatsoever mistakes you have made that has allowed a delay of His promise in your life, repent and turn away from it. HE NEVER BREAKS HIS PROMISES.
Inequity(SIN) has always been the dividing factor between God and Man. Your present predicament is there because you are in cahoots with Satan and in SIN.
Numbers 23:21
The only thing that can keep you in perfect peace and harmony with God is Godliness and Obedience to the word of God... Numbers 24:5
Do you know that Balaam knew the weakness of Israel?
And he advised Balak to send women into the camp of Israel as seen in Numbers 25: 1-9
This was the council of Balaam to Balak as revealed by Moses in Numbers 31:16...
My message:
Every man has got a promise or more upon their lives from God, but SIN is the only reproach that will never allow those promises to come to pass.
Repentance is not the only solution, but you must turn away from those Sins and cleave on GOD'S will and instructions.
The new trend in the church today tells you God understands and will not judge you beyond your ability for He is merciful and kind... you should know this is a BIG lie from hell just to make you remain in SIN. The eyes of God can never behold iniquity, this is the heart position of God towards SIN and He will never fall short of this not because of our evil minded nature and more also our pervert generation.
Your Promise from God is still intact all you need do is purge your heart from all the EVIL and SIN you're indulging in now, and turn away from it and never return to them ever again... then you shall see how He makes manifest all His promises over your life.
REPENT AND TURN AWAY FROM YOUR WICKED WAYS WHICH IS BEFORE THE LORD, AND ALIGN YOURSELF WITH HIS WILL... THEN ALL WILL BE WELL WITH YOU.
Remain connected to His will, MARANATHA.
