MOTION DOES NOT TRANSLATE TO PROGRESS (Thursday, 4th December 2025)

ByCCGA Media

Text for Today: Deut. 2:1-7 “Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward.”(vs. 3).

Until you realize where you are, you can’t make effort to get to where you want to be. For forty years the children of Israel were moving round the same area without much progress. I often say to people that, the fact that you are moving does not mean you are making progress in life. Motion does not translate to progress. God had to point their attention to it that they had stayed there for too long and they should progress in their journey. During these forty years, God had to rid the children of Israel of some attitudes and habits that might be a hindrance to them in the Promised Land. Someone said the only constant thing in life is change. Many people resist change because they are used to the way things are.

This was what happened to the children of Israel. It was difficult for them to adapt to the new ways God was setting for them because they had been used to the ways and manner of the Egyptians. The first thing God had to change for the children of Israel is their thinking and thought life. Prov. 23:7 says, “As a man thinks in his heart so is he.” They thought and believed that they were unable to conquer the giants in the Promised Land. God had to get rid of this negative thought from their lives for them to move forward. If you must get to the Promised Land or the next level of your life, you must do away with every negative thought/thinking pattern. Your thought is the seat of power; and you must know that, whatever you are able to conquer in your heart you will conquer in real life.

You are a champion!

Further Study: 2 Kings 5:1-14.
