KERI MO PA BA LO?


DAY 103
TEXT: JOSH 13-15

Rhema Verse: Joshua 14:10-11 “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty- five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty- five years old! I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.”

MESSAGE:
         When I look pale and tired and a person come and asks me, “Are you sick?” Even though I really don’t feel I am sick I will start to feel like it, maybe it’s because of the attention or something.
         Caleb was old at the age of 85 but he is still determined, strong and eagerly expecting for God’s promises to him even after 45 years. He helped a lot of Israelites claim their inheritance, but he did not stop unless he got his; he did not bent to the usual expectations and visions of ordinary men. He is not mediocre but he does have a ‘simple’ faith and a childlike expectations.

PROMISE: The LORD will do just as HE promised

COMMAND: Believe!
WARNING:

APPLICATION: I need to be like Caleb! Kering-keri natin ito! Fight the good fight of faith! Aja!

Think Positive! Walang Aayaw! (DONT QUIT!)


DAY 86
TEXT: Numbers 13-15

Rhema Verse: Numbers 14:23b-24 “..No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it. But because my servant Caleb (Nerie) has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.”

MESSAGE:
         God saved the whole Israelites from Egypt so they can live in the Promised Land – flowing with milk and honey as GOD sworn to Abraham’s descendants. Imagine one cluster of grape carried by two people in a pole!!! The people saw the giants, the fortified walls greater than Egypt, the enemies, and they SAW/ THOUGHT, “I am like a grasshopper” - the people saw their OWN strength. But Joshua and Caleb saw the hand of God can get their promise land, the LORD is with us, HE will fight for us; HE did it in the mighty land of Egypt, GOD plague them, GOD took us from 400 years of slavery, GOD divided the sea, GOD is GOD.
          
PROMISE:  “I will do to you the very things I heard you say”, declares the LORD (Numbers 14:26)

COMMAND: Rise up!!! Mighty man and woman of GOD! The LION OF JUDAH is upon us! HE will fight our battles! Think positive! Don’t quit!

WARNING: Quitters, complainers, rebellious people DO NOT enter the Promised Land.

APPLICATION: I need to be always POSITIVE in the LORD. To ALWAYS remember that it is the LORD, not I. That my GOD is a BIG GOD, HE ALWAYS DO THE IMPOSSIBLE! I need to change the way I deliver my message, I need to be like Joshua and Caleb. When I deliver a suggestion, comments, report it must be to BUILD-up, to strengthen the leaders I talk to. LORD Jesus, I need you to teach and help me in this.
