【脱去旧我进入应许】

主讲：林国晶传道

17/04/2024


引言：

我们要从过去的失败中学到功课，并且定意要改变，使我们不错失神给我们的应许。

一、从坠落处站立（v1)

以色列百姓当初是在加低斯跌倒。三十八年后，神再次把他们带回当初跌倒的地方。 让他们回想自己是「从哪里坠落的，并要悔改，行起初所行的事」（启2：5），从「加低斯」重新踏上进入应许的道路。

二、勿让情绪掌控（v2-13)

以色列人埋怨神，是情绪的发泄，并非因为他们有理。然而，神用忍耐和怜恤回应他们，让新的一代认识祂是一位负责到底的神。

然而，摩西用怒气怒责百姓和并用杖使磐石流水，而不是按着神所吩咐吩咐石头出水。此举被神称为‘不信’，也导致他不能进入应许之地。

三、不凭血气行事（v14-21)

虽然以东王不肯让以色列从他的境内经过，但百姓没有凭血气行事，而是顺服神的吩咐，没有与以东争战，绕道而行（申二8）。虽然他们要多走一些路，但他们相信神的引导。

四、传承为要延续（v22-29)

神在以色列人进入迦南之前接去他们属灵的领袖，亚伦，用大祭司职位的转换来标志着世代的转换。而新的一代需要承接继续进入应许之地的使命。

总结：

我们要对付自己旧有、不合神心意的生命，使我们忠实的跟随神，相信神的带领。如此，我们必然得着神所应许的福份。

Numbers 20 Take off the old self and enter into the promise
GK611 Morning Devotion

The Morning Devotion Speaker: Ps Stella Ling

Introduction：

We need to learn from our past failures and be determined to change so that we do not miss the promises God has given us.

1. Standing up from the fall (v1)

The people of Israel first fell at Kadesh. Thirty-eight years later, God brought them back to the place where they had fallen. Let them recall "remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, " (Rev. 2:5), and set out again from Kadesh on the path into the promise.

2. Don't let emotions take control (v2-13)

Israel’s grumbling against God was an emotional outburst, not because they were justified. However, God responded to them with patience and compassion so that the new generation would ecognize Him as a God who is responsible to the end. However, Moses rebuked the people with anger and used his staff to make the rock run with water instead of commanding the rock to come out of the water as God had commanded. This action was called ‘unbelief’ by God and resulted in him not being able to enter the Promised Land.

3. Not acting on flesh (v14-21)

Although the king of Edom refused to allow Israel to pass through his territory, the people did not act on flesh, but obeyed God's command not to fight with Edom and to turn and pass by way (Deut. 2:8). Though they had to travel further, they trusted in God's guidance.

4. Inheritance is to be continued (v22-29)

God took away Israel’s spiritual leader, Aaron, before they entered Canaan, marking a generational shift with the change of the high priesthood. And the new generation needed to take on the mission of continuing into the Promised Land.

Conclusion:

We need to deal with our old, ungodly lives, so that we can faithfully follow God and trust His leading. In this way, we will surely receive the blessings that God has promised us.
