« So Elisha turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths »
1Then the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the Wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there and was buried there.
2 Now there was no water for the congregation; so they gathered together against Moses and Aaron.
3 And the people contended with Moses and spoke, saying: “If only we had died when our brethren died before the Lord!
4 Why have you brought up the assembly of the Lord into this wilderness, that we and our animals should die here?
5 And why have you made us come up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink.”
6 So Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, and they fell on their faces. And the glory of the Lord appeared to them.
7 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
8 “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.”
9 So Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him.
10 And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?”
11 Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.
12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”
13 This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the Lord, and He was hallowed among them.
Do you want to be heavily anointed ?
The One who generates the anointing has more than enough for everybody. Psalm 23:5 says,
« NKJV You anoint my head with oil, my cup runs over. »
« EE You bless me so much that my cup is completely full »
« NLT You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. »
- He has more than enough for everybody, but are you willing to pay the price ?
Are you willing to go through the challenges that come with being anointed ?
Hebrews 1:9 says that if you love righteousness and hate iniquity, God will anoint you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.
It is important to note that the anointing also comes with some challenges.
The major challenge with being anointed is that power can corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
The more anointed you are, the more careful you must be because of the tendency to misuse the power.
In Numbers 20:1-13, especially verse 10, Moses said to the people,
« Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock? »
Only a few minutes before then, he was on his face before God, asking for a solution to the problem.
The moment God told him what to do, he turned to the people who had been provoking him,
called them rebels, and spoke as if the power to bring water out of the rock was from him and not from God.
In verse 12, God said that because he did not sanctify Him in the eyes of the people, he will not enter the promised land.
I have always told pastors in The Redeemed Christian Church of God that no one must ever feel as if he healed anybody. Left alone, you cannot even heal a rat!
It is God who heals, and you are only a vessel through which the healing takes place.
You must always see that as a privilege.
- Since the power to perform miracles is not yours, God can use anyone else to do it.
A man of God once said that if you remove God from him, there will be little left.
I was surprised because, in my own case, if you remove God from me, there will be absolutely nothing left.
Beloved, never forget that without God, you are nothing.
Anyone who thinks that he or she can be something without God is clearly on a path to destruction.
No matter how anointed you are, never allow yourself to think that you are all-powerful.
Ensure that you remain humble.
Application – Never forget that it is God who works miracles, not you.
