Numbers Chapter 31
Our focus is The Book of Numbers Chapter 31 which recorded God’s judgment against the Midianites for their ENMITY to Isreal as well as the death of Balaam.
Indeed, it is a FEARFUL THING to fall into the HANDS of The Living God.

REFLECTIONS
Reflection 1
GOD CAN KILL BECAUSE OF HIS PEOPLE!
Numbers 34:1-2
“And the Lord spake to Moses,saying “Take Vengeance on the Midianites for the Children of Israel”
This is very consequential and confirms that God’s People are precious to Him.
Hence, God is able & capable of KILLING/ DEALING WITH our Enemies.
Indeed, Isaiah 43:4 nkjv confirms that “Since you are precious in My sight, You have been honoured And I have loved you; Therefore I will give men for you, And People for your life”
No Wonder, He regards His People as “The Apple of His Eyes!
(Psalms 17: 8-10)
What a loving God, Who loved us with an EVERLASTING LOVE.
Reflection 2
“A CONSUMING FIRE, A JEALOUS GOD”
“For The Lord your God is a Consuming Fire, a jealous God”
(Deuteronomy 4:24)
In the book of Exodus 15:3, Our Lord is described as a “Man of War”
It is important to juxtapose the same loving God to His people with the Consuming Fire with EQUIVALENT POTENCY to obliterate His Enemies!!
Brethren, “It is a FEARFUL THING to fall into the HANDS of the Living God”
(Hebrews 10:30-31)
May We Not encounter the Wrath of Our God.
It is therefore PRUDENT & SENSIBLE to stay on The Lord’s side. Hallelujah!!
