Despite the glory of God that the children of Israel witnessed from Egypt and during the forty years in the wilderness, under the servant of the LORD Moses, they still rebelled against the LORD and His servant. Even though they were given the Law of Moses to guide and warn them on a daily basis, they still rebelled against the LORD. Despite their rebellious attitude, the LORD always forgave them and gave them a second chance. However, all those who rebelled against God who had been delivered from the Egyptian bondage and were 20 years and above, were not able to enter into the promised land of Canaan. Only their young ones who were born in the wilderness led by Joshua and Caleb were able to possess the Promised Land. After settling down in the Promised Land, the Israelites again turned to other gods, forgetting how the LORD had delivered them with a mighty hand from all their enemies. This in turn provoked the wrath of the LORD upon them and they were defeated and captured by the Assyrians and the Babylonians. For seventy years they were in captivity. Still the LORD gave them a second chance when they cried to Him. Many Christians today continue to rebel against the LORD just as the Israelites did. Many quickly forget how the LORD delivered them from the bondage of sickness, demonic affliction, poverty and even from the power of death. Many, who will have gone through a difficult patch in their lives, once God blesses them through His appointed servants, quickly forget their source of blessings. Once they are healed or delivered from the power of Satan, or got whatever they have been looking for, they quickly go back to their old ways. In Luke 11:24-26 the LORD gives the following warning, “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came. And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse than the first.” It is important that you remain connected to the source of your deliverance, healing or blessings as this will actually increase you spiritually. In Luke 8:1-3, Mary Magdalene and all the other women who received deliverance from demons through Jesus Christ, they remained connected to Him and partnered with Him in His Ministry to save the world. Always remember that the blessing you receive of healing, deliverance, employment, business breakthrough or any other blessing is not an end on its own, but it is a means to the end which is your eternal salvation. Eternal salvation only comes when you recognize God through the person He assigns to give you deliverance, healing, blessing and breakthrough. Luke 5:11 says, “And when they had brought their ships to land, they forsook all, and followed Him.” Simon Peter and his companions, when they received the blessing of a big catch of fish, immediately left the miracle and followed the miracle worker, Jesus Christ, in winning souls from darkness into His marvelous light. Remember that all these blessings we try to get whilst in this world, are temporary, but your spirit is eternal. So when you are delivered, healed or received a blessing, remain connected to Jesus Christ the Author and Finisher of your faith for eternal salvation. Alleluia!

Prayer

I am sorry LORD Jesus Christ for all the times that I have drifted away from Your path regardless of the great things You have done in my life. Help me to be always grateful to You and remain connected so that You will add divine health and success upon my life. I thank You Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
