THEY DIDN’T FORGET WHAT GOD PROMISED DESPITE THE GIANTS (Saturday, 3rd October 2026)
Text for today: Num. 13:1-17-33 “Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” (vs.30).
It is whatever you believe in contrary to what may be happening, that will profit you eventually in life. Joshua and Caleb are perfect examples of Old Testament saints who obtained a good report by relying on what God said rather than the fact on ground. They were among the twelve spies that Moses sent to spy out Canaan. They saw the same things that the dissenting ten saw, but they came to a different conclusion. They saw the giants, but they also remembered the promises of God. They saw the walled cities, but they also remembered how God had delivered them from Egypt and how He had parted the Red Sea.
They remembered the word of the Lord in Leviticus 20:24 which says, “But I have said unto you, ye shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that floweth with milk and honey: I [am] the LORD your God, which have separated you from [other] people.” Num. 14:24 tells us that Caleb had another spirit with him. I would say a spirit that believed God and took Him at His word. His report was, “We are able to possess the land” (Num. 13:30). Joshua and Caleb ignored what they saw, but rather focused on what God promised to do for them. They ignored the evil report of the other ten spies and against all odds; they believed God and were anxious to obey Him. As you step out each day of this last quarter of the year, I charge you never to forget what God’s word has declared concerning you, and go all out to appropriate it no matter what comes your way. You will possess the land in Jesus name.
You are a Champion!
