The Solution of All Problems in the Wilderness

Numbers 19:1~10 │ And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place. And they shall be kept for the water for impurity for the congregation of the people of Israel; it is a sin offering. (9)

There will be times when you face important time schedules that determine your life’s direction. After the Exodus from Egypt, the Israelites were approaching Canaan; however, their wilderness lives did not easily end. Even though entering Canaan was imminent, the Israelites stayed in Kadesh Barnea for thirty-eight years. What did God have the Israelites prepare in the wilderness?

1. The Only Way to Solve Original Sin
If you aren’t able to clearly understand a frustrating situation that has continued for a long time, you must realize God’s plan and reason. God told the Israelites to bring a red heifer from the wilderness, set it on fire, and give a sacrifice by sprinkling its blood. The Israelites needed time to realize their lives that were separated from God, recognize their unbelief, and receive forgiveness. God wants you to realize that Jesus Christ is the only way to solve the problem of being separated from Him.

2. What Does God Want You to Realize in the Wilderness?
Even though you’re a child of God and have been liberated from the forces of darkness and terrible curses, you blame God and complain when you face difficulties. If you don’t change your nature of unbelief and your self-centered thoughts, you cannot enter the land of Canaan that was promised by God. However, just by realizing that you’re in a state of unbelief is God’s grace.

God will fulfill His covenant through those who enjoy the blessings of salvation and discover and renew themselves every time they hear the Word.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, as I walk on the wilderness path, help me to enjoy all the blessings found in Jesus Christ and to have renewal every day. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. Why Isn’t There “Graduation” in Church?

Those who are able to reflect on themselves; renew their hearts, and mend them become recognized throughout the world and gain success. This doesn’t apply to moral stories about people who learn from their own mistakes and tell themselves not to repeat them. For those who take time to reflect every day before God, renewal will absolutely take place.
Although there is no graduation in church, you must believe in God who began everything and will bring it to completion at the day of Christ Jesus.Philippians

1:6 Ask yourself this question,

“Am I growing?”
