FROM YOUR BROTHER

The grace of a different spirit

I

SRAEL sending out spies to check out the land of Canaan happened 1490 years before Christ.

The time setting is only to give the readers a perspective of how far into history the event happened. The spy mission was not a good idea. The majority report was negative. Only Caleb and Joshua were in favor of going into Canaan to possess the land – but then they looked like two eager beavers who were willing to bite more than they could chew.

Towards the end of his life, in Deuteronomy 1, Moses recalled the ill-fated decision and its repercussions. Several years later, the psalmist would also look back at Jewish history in the 95th psalm to say that the Lord was grieved with that generation for 40 years (Verse 10)!

Think about it for a moment! One foolhardy decision that led to the people grieving God for 40 long years! That’s how long God took to transform Moses, a Hebrew murderer, into a man with whom God spoke face to face, even plainly.

Today, 40 years is half the life-span of an average man and woman (Psalm 90:10).

Forty years of wilderness. Forty years of purposeless wandering. Forty years of unattainable goals. Forty years of grieving God! Of course, it could have been different. They could have sauntered into the Promised Land in perhaps less than 40 days if only they had listened to the voice of Caleb. Although Numbers 13:1-2 say that it was God who asked Moses to send spies into Canaan, Deuteronomy 1:22 says it was the people’s idea.

So, why did God let them do it if He knew it was a bad idea? When we shut our ears to God’s voice and become stubborn in our ways, God lets us walk in our own counsel (Psalm 81:12). Those who were called to walk by faith decided walking by sight was a better idea.

Spying out the land that was selected by God for them before the foundations of the earth was an act of unbelief. ‘..whatever is not from faith is sin’, says Romans 14:23.

God had told them to go and possess the land that was set before them (Deut. 1:21), but the people were in no mood to take God at His word. So much so that even the normally mild-mannered Moses gave them a dressing down. ‘... in the wilderness Website: www.christianmessenger.in Email: contact@christianmessenger.in

The power of having a different spirit is in seeing the unseen. It trusts the unseen God’s visible power. where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place. Yet, for all that, you did not believe the Lord your God, who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day’ (Deut. 1:31-33).

‘Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word, but complained in their tents, and did not heed the voice of the Lord’ (Psalm 106:29).

Caleb belonged to the tribe of Judah, the leading tribe. The meaning of the Hebrew name Caleb is dog. In other words, Caleb personified fierce loyalty and faithfulness to God, his Master.

Caleb asked people to ‘possess’ the land, not ‘conquer’ it. God had already got it for them, now all they had to do was go and possess it. That was his level of faith. He believed when God okayed something, you simply believed it and took possession of it.

It was not as if Caleb was blind to the stature of the sons of Anak. They were giants, no doubt. But then there was no comparison between the Anakites and the Israelites. In Numbers 14:9, Caleb and Joshua pointed out the singular fundamental difference between God’s chosen people and the Anakites. ‘...their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us; fear them not.’

That’s the power of having a different spirit. It sees the unseen. It trusts the unseen God whose invisible hands do visible signs and wonders. It is willing to wager on God and His promises.

In Numbers 14:24 we hear God say this about Caleb: ‘But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land where into he went; and his seed shall possess it.’

That’s the blessing of having a different spirit.

This month, it is my prayer that the Lord will grant us the grace of having a different spirit. The spirit that helps us take God at His Word and set out to do all that we are called to do. Amen.

THE MESSAGE

SONS OF ELI

Scoundrels Who Had No Respect For The Lord ‘They would not listen to the voice of their father’ (1st Samuel 2:25) ‘The sin of the young men was very great in the sight of the LORD’ (1st Samuel 2:17) ‘The men treated the offering of the LORD with contempt’ (1st Samuel 2:17) ‘They did not know the Lord’ (1st Samuel 2:12) They neither had respect for their father nor for his office as the priest of God. The priests were Levites set apart for a special purpose, the work of the Lord.

But, Hophni and Phinehas did not care about the calling on their lives. They were so full of themselves that they were worshiping themselves rather than the Lord.

Verses 13 to 16 tell us about the conduct of the sons of Eli. They wanted raw flesh and they always wanted it immediately. They could not wait for the sacrifice to get over or the flesh to slow cook in the cauldron. And, if their share was denied or delayed, they did not shy away from taking it by force.

When you start losing respect for the sacred, stop and examine your heart. When was the last time God spoke to you from the pulpit? When was the last time you were awestruck by the Word of God? When was the last time you were immersed in a spirit of adoration and worship? If your answer is: ‘It’s been some time’ or ‘It was a long time ago’, I urge you to stop right now in your tracks. Don’t take another step before reconciling with the Lord. God wants to

BY ROBIN SAM ALTHOUGH a short verse, 1 Samuel 2:12 is very profound in its import. Eli had two sons – Hophni and Phinehas. They were not only irreligious but also immoral. Unlike their dad, who was a faithful priest of the Lord, the sons openly stood for everything that was scandalous, disgraceful, disreputable and appalling. While one translation calls them ‘worthless men’, another dubs them as ‘scoundrels who had no respect for the Lord.’ Only one version has anything relatively less harsh to say about them. The God’s Word translation calls them ‘good-for-nothing priests’ who had no faith in the Lord. The KJV is simple and direct in its interpretation. It says they were ‘sons of Belial’ who ‘knew not the Lord.’

That verse is a very sad statement. It is telling in more ways than one. It indirectly talks about the utter futility of Eli’s ministry in his own home while it is more direct in calling a spade a spade – when it comes to describing what manner of men his sons were.

What was wrong with Hophni and Phinehas?

What was their crime or wrongdoing that earned them one of the severest condemnations given in the Bible?

Look for a moment at some of the phrases or words used to describe them: ‘Worthless men’ (1st Samuel 2:12) THE CHRISTIAN MESSENGER w FEBRUARY 2020

restore you and reconcile you to Him. I don’t think Hophni and Phinehas turned into indolent, idle and loose men of worthless character overnight. They were in the making for a long time.

The sins of the sons of Eli were grievous in the sight of the Lord. ‘Wherefore the sin of the young men was very great before the Lord: for men abhorred the offering of the Lord’ (verse 17).

I guess the sons of Eli were allowed to grow up in this manner. Perhaps their father Eli was so occupied with his duties in the priestly office that he felt it was alright to neglect his family. It was not as if Eli did not try to discipline his sons. He did, but he either did it weakly or lately. And, it did not work.

‘Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto the voice of their father, because the Lord would slay them’ (verse 25). When your lifestyle becomes abhorrent and makes others stray in their ways remember your retribution is on the way.

There is a message every believer and every worker of God married with children needs to take from 1 Samuel 2:12.

It doesn’t matter how busy a professional you are.

You may be jet-setting around the world, earning accolade and success in your chosen field of work.

You may be justifying the long and frequent absences from your home as something sacrificial done for the welfare of your wife and children.

Perhaps you are a stay-at-home mom or dad – everpresent at home watching your children grow.

Perhaps you quit your job or decided to remain unemployed for the sake of your children. But being a stay-at-home parent does not automatically guarantee that your children will be paragons of virtue.

The question is not – what have you provided for them? The real question worth asking is whom have you pointed out to them? Have you pointed Jesus Christ to them?

Eli was a failure as a dad because he tolerated the evil in his sons. He was a partaker of his sons’ evil.

Our God is the same yesterday, today and forever. If He hated evil in the sons of Eli in those days, then be assured that even today He hates sin in our lives and our children’s, no less.

Parenting offers more challenges today than ever.

Do you know why? These are ‘perilous times’ (2 Timothy 3:1) and ‘your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour’ (1 Peter 5:8). The enemy knows he has only a short time left and he will do everything in his means to destroy the family, the Christian family to be more precise.

What then must we do?

In Judges 13:8 we see a wonderful prayer by Website: www.christianmessenger.in Email: contact@christianmessenger.in

When you start losing respect for the sacred, stop and examine your heart.

When was the last time God spoke to you from the pulpit? When was the last time you were awestruck by the Word of God? Manoah. Let me quote it here for you: Then Manoah prayed to the Lord, and said, “O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the child who will be born.”

If we have neglected our duty as parents, then Manoah’s prayer is a great starting point in good parenting. Can we like Manoah pray: ‘Lord, fill your Holy Spirit in us again and teach us what we shall do for the child(ren)’?

Apostle Paul commended his traveling companion Timothy not for his seafaring skills or nautical knowledge but for his Christian upbringing.

In 2 Timothy 3:15, Paul says of Timothy: ‘…from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.’

Do our children have a good grounding in the Bible? If not, it’s not too late to start now.

Timothy was able to continue in the things which he had learned and been assured of because his foundation was in Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11).

Support our VBS ministry

WE are introducing Lord Jesus Christ and His love to over 1,000 children this year through the Vacation Bible School ministries in May and June.

In Punjab and Himachal Pradesh, schools close for summer holidays only in June so VBS will be held in those two states only that month. In all our other states, VBS will be conducted by end of April or in May. I urge you to pray for the VBS ministry from now onwards.

Pray that God will remove every obstacle that prevents children from getting close to Him. Pray also that the teachers’ VBS training will go on as scheduled and every child who comes to the VBS gatherings will accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

Each child’s expense for a day will be Rs.50/- Going by that estimate, the VBS ministries across all our fields in India will require not less than Rs.1,50,000/- for the three day meetings. It’s my hope and desire that this expense will be met by your prayers and generous contributions. May God bless those who support this ministry a hundredfold!

Pray for God’s favor to rest on your dwelling place. May this year be the year of salvation, bountiful blessings, love, joy and peace besides a life of holiness.

2. FIFTEEN people committed suicide every hour in 2018 in India. At least one in every five people who committed suicide was a daily wage earner and every sixth victim was a housewife. As many as 66% of the victims earned less than one lakh rupees in a year. Hanging remained the primary mode of committing suicide.

Poverty and depression seemed to be among the main reasons for suicide. Pray for the poor and depressed people.

3 . A N T I - N AT I O N A L elements were behind 682 attacks in India in 2018. In these attacks, targeted at police stations, security camps, railway infrastructure, telephone exchanges, towers, schools and economic establishments, 163 civilians were killed. While we need to pray for peace to prevail across the nation, we also need to pray that God meets the jihadi elements, left-wing extremists, insurgents from the north east and other terrorists at the point of their need.

4. LIQUOR outlets in Tamil Nadu registered a sales of Rs.150 crore on December 31, 2019, a 15 percent rise compared to the same day in 2018. Liquor sales on Dec 30 and 31 last year stood at 242 crore. Even young children and women THE CHRISTIAN MESSENGER w FEBRUARY 2020

7. JOB security is fast becoming a big concern for families in India especially for those employed in the IT industry. IT giant Infosys cut 950 jobs in the third quarter. In December, 8,303 people left the company. The situation in other IT companies is not better either. Last year, Cognizant announced that its exit from the content moderation business impacting around 6,000 jobs.
