Revelation of the Word:

THEME: NEW TERRITORIES

Deuteronomy 2:4-5 NIV

”Give the people these orders: ‘You are about to pass through the territory of your relatives the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir. They will be afraid of you, but be very careful. Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.“

INSIGHT

–New territories always sound good and an achievement anyone can look forward to. Fortunately, or unfortunately, every territory is occupied either physically, spiritually or both. The animal kingdom is also territorial, and lions protect their own fearlessly, and retreat at nothing (Proverbs 30:30). Moses was instructed by God to command the people to pass through the territory of Seir where Esau and his descendants lived. The Lord cautioned that they should not provoke them to war but maintain a peaceful relationship. God promised the Israelites land as an inheritance more than they could imagine, and Joshua subdivided it later to all the tribes of Israel (Joshua 11:23). We have been called to maintained peace and unity even as we take new territories. Also, like the lion which is mighty among the beasts and retreats at nothing, let us be bold and courageous trusting in God, and we will take new territories according to God’s good pleasures and will. 

PRAYER 

You are the Lion of Judah, You are the King of kings, You are the Lord of lords, You are the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last, the Eternal One, the King of Grace, none can compare to You in all the heavens and the earth. Only You are worthy to be praised, You are worthy to be adored, You are worthy to be glorified and feared above all other gods. You are seated at the right hand of God the Father in majesty our Great High Priest and we have been raised with You Jesus Christ forever. We thank You and praise Your name. Lord Jesus all power and authority belongs to You and all angels, powers and authorities are subject to You. Lord Jesus You have given us authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy and nothing will harm us. May You protect us dear Lord Jesus and increase us in strength, faith, peace, humility and grace as we conquer new territories for the glory and honor of Your name. Amen
