“Fulfilling our Destiny”

Now there was no water for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron. 3 They quarreled with Moses… 6 Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the LORD appeared to them…. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.”

Number 20:1-13

Will you fulfill the destiny God has for

your life?

. God had a perfect plan for Moses to lead the people out of Egypt

and into the Promised Land, but he stopped just short of reaching the completion of his God-given destiny.

There are several things we can apply to our own lives from this

Old Testament account:

1. Behavior that Israelites displayed2. Behavior that Moses displayed3. We have to learn to follow God’s

voice and act accordingly

Guard our Self

“SATAN use the same tactics over and over again”

Luke 4:13

…When the devil had finished all the tempting

he left until an opportune time

1.Behavior that Israelites displayed…

They quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the LORD! 4 Why did you bring the LORD’s community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here? 5 Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!”

Application

Anong reklamo meron tayo ngayon?

Anong wala sa atin na pwede natin i-reklamo sa Diyos?

“How long will these people treat me with contempt ? How long will they refuse to

believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs have performed among them.”

Numbers 14:11

1. Behavior that Moses displayed…

11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his

staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock

drank.

They went out before the people and spoke to them, but then in frustration and anger

Moses took the rod and struck the rock not once but twice.

He didn’t wait to see if the water would come out after he struck it one time.

God wants to meet our needs and sometimes He will meet it EVEN

when we do it our own way

Sometimes we quarrel with man when our real argument is with

God

application

- Tama tayo ay naglilingkod sa Panginoon, but what kind of behavior do we display…

- Are we doing it out of our anger or out of love.

Numbers 20: 12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “because you did not trust me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites …

3. We have to learn to follow God’s voice and act accordingly…

the community so they and their livestock can drink.”
