tents, or in strong holds; And what the
land is, whether it be fat or lean, whether
there be wood therein, or not. And be ye
of good courage, and bring of the fruit of
the land. Now the time was the time of
the first ripe grapes.
Thus, according to the above verse,
God says that He will give them the
Promised Land in whatever state it
might be. Because it is God who gives.
No matter whatever the situation we are
in, we should not fear, as we are the Sons
of God. There may be many people on
the earth and many Christians who are
weak, but that should not bother us. For
God said that He would provide and we
are to focus only on His power. This is an
example of an understanding heart.
NUMBERS 13 : 28 says, Nevertheless the
people be strong that dwell in the land,
and the cities are walled, and very great:
and moreover we saw the children of Anak
there.
NUMBERS 13 : 30 – 31 says, And Caleb
stilled the people before Moses, and said,
Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we
are well able to overcome it. But the men
that went up with him said, We be not able
to go up against the people; for they are
stronger than we.
Here the 10 rulers are saying that they
are no match to the very powerful people who live in Canaan. These Israelites
speak like ordinary people forgetting the
power of their God. But Caleb says that
their power is enough. He says that no
matter how strong the enemies might
be, they have the living God with them.
For Caleb remembered the God who led
them in the wilderness for 40 years. He
did not forget the power of God, who
protected them as a pillar of cloud by
day and a pillar of fire by night. He knew
the ability of God. He says that with the
help of God they could possess the land
that the Amalekites were dwelling in.
Likewise, we who are reading this message should also praise, worship God and
believe that we can win every problem
through faith. We should move forward

confessing and believing that God will
walk before us and give us Victory. We
will have an answer before us!
What does Paul say in the New Testament? He declares, ‘I can do all things
through Christ.” Christ is able, but we
have to check if we are ready or not. The
job that we did not receive will definitely come. The incurable disease will
be cured. And lack will turn into abundance!
NUMBERS 13 : 30 says, And Caleb stilled
the people before Moses, and said, Let us go
up at once, and possess it; for we are well
able to overcome it.
To whom is Caleb comparing himself?
Is Caleb considering his own strength?
Or is he talking, taking into consideration God’s power? These are the words
that know the power of God. Caleb is
showing his ability by believing that together with his power, even God’s spiritual power will be added. Just like Caleb, we also should strengthen ourselves
be believing that we possess the Spirit
of God. What does the world say? They
complain that they do not have something’s, they are poor, their status is low
etc. But we are the children of God. The
God whom Caleb believed in is our rock
of strength. In order to be transformed
into the image of God, the faith of Caleb
is a sign. This gives us authority over all.
NUMBERS 13 : 31 says, But the men that
went up with him said, We be not able to
go up against the people; for they are stronger than we.
