One of the sad things that happen to some believers is that they give up or turn back at the edge of their breakthrough and fullness. The implication of this is that all the genuine and time-draining efforts as well as resources they had deployed so far will be wasted and there will be nothing to show for them. This is the spirit of labour loss, non-achievement and profitless hardwork.

 

Beloved, there is a spirit that makes people to lose hope, get discouraged and give up the dreams and visions they once held so dearly. That evil spirit attacks its victim with fear, unbelief, worry, discouragement, error and failure. The Bible warns us not to be ignorant of the devices of the devil. You must fight against any spirit that wants you to give up at the edge of your fulfilment, breakthrough and fullness. The agenda of that spirit is to make you a failure and an object of mockery. You must abort that agenda through prayer and press on to breakthrough and fulfilment.

 

In our Fire Scripture for today, we read about Israel turning back from Canaan. Though they were so close to the Promised Land, full of milk and honey and had travelled so long and bore pains to possess it, they turned back eventually. Why? The Bible says it was because of their unbelief fuelled by the evil report they received in Numbers 13:25-33. Subsequently, Numbers 14:1-24 presents a graphic and detailed picture of how the Israelites demonstrated their unbelief. The sin of unbelief makes people to doubt the unfailing ability and faithfulness of God. It is an insult to our sovereign and omnipotent God. Beloved, the basis of unbelief is fear. When you give a place to fear in your life, you will clip the wings of faith and be unable to fly.

 

As the Israelites could not enter Canaan (their rest) due to unbelief and fear, so would any believer be unable to possess God’s promises or achieve their desired breakthrough if they allow unbelief and fear to overcome them.
