Topic: YOU
WILL CROSSOVER
Text:
Deuteronomy 9:1 – 6
The people of Anak were enormous people, some seven to nine
feet tall. Goliath, probably a descendant of Anak, was over nine feet tall (1
Samuel 17:4–7). Unfortunately, these great men used their stature as a means of
intimidation rather than for noble causes. Their appearance alone frightened
the Israelite scouts (Numbers 13:28), and their bad reputation may have been
the deciding factor that kept the Israelites out of the land 40 years earlier.
Moses used all his persuasive power to convince his people that God could
handle these bullies. He used the illustration of God as a devouring fire to
motivate them because no giant can stand up against Him.
As this year rounds off today, many of us are apprehensive
of what will happen in the New Year. The bills to pay and the uncertainties
that lie ahead are like the people of Anak unto some of us. However, God is
saying to us today that we will crossover to the New Year and posses all the
good things He has packaged for us. Jesus gave us encouraging words in John
14:1, 27. You shouldn’t be fearful of what holds in the New Year neither should
you be afraid of not seeing the New Year. God will remove ever obstacle on your
way. See you in 2017. Happy New Year in advance!
