Stand thou here by Me.
“But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.” Deuteronomy 5:31.(KJV).
God instructed you to teach all nations regarding Jesus.
“Now wherever you go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19.(TPT)
You cannot teach something you do not know yourself.
Therefore, God said: “stand thou here by Me.”
You must first learn from God.
You must experience God.
You must be with God.
Then you can teach others what you experienced. Then you can teach others what God told you.
Do you want to be a teacher appointed by God? Stand by Him and learn from Him.
Daily learn from Him.
“Simply join your life with mine. Learn my ways, and you’ll discover that I’m gentle, humble, easy to please. You will find refreshment and rest in me.” Matthew 11:29 (TPT)
Application to the Christian life:
Give your life to Jesus.
Learn from Him and follow Him.
Take courage and teach your friends.

Be Obedient to God.
“And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, if Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the Lord my God, to do less or more.”
Numbers 22:18(KJV).
How many people take bribes in our present time? Many people make a living from bribes.
How do you handle situations that want to compromise you?
What do you do if your situation at work is such that you will not be paid for your work unless you do something against your will?
Are you doing stuff beyond the word of God?
Balak tried his best to intimidate Balaam into cursing the Israelites.
Balaam refused.
He blessed the Israelites.
Will you also refuse to do evil, even if your life depends on it?
Jesus could easily save Himself from the cross.
He did not.
He did not even lose His life for Himself.
He did it to save mankind.
What are you doing to live a life above reproach?
The Holy Spirit is your helper.
He will show you the way out.
Application to the Christian life:
Remain faithful to God.
Remain humble.
Daily Learn to follow Jesus
Bless your friends.

God will help with a strong hand.
“Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.” Exodus 6:1. (KJV).
Are you going through a difficult time where your problems are overwhelming?
Your exam results are not what they should be.
You are in trouble because something beyond your control went wrong?.
Maybe your finances did not work out the way you expected they would.
It appears that there is no solution to your troubles.
Even though Moses did what God told him to do, Pharaoh did not let Israel go immediately.
In fact, he made life more difficult for the Israelites. The Israelites blamed Moses for their hard life.
Is God’s promise getting late in being fulfilled?
God’s promises certainly get fulfilled.
“Now indeed, Elizabeth, your relative has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is now the sixth month for her who was called barren. For with God, nothing will be impossible.”Luke 1:36-37(NKJV)
God can help in any way He wishes.
He wants us to learn to trust Him.
Follow His Instructions Step by Step.
His Promises Never Fails.
There is nothing too complicated for God to do.
Application to the Christian life:
Wait patiently upon God.
Trust Him to help you the way He knows will be best for you.
Learn from Him.
Listen to Him.
Follow Him.
Glorify Him.

Like others ?…
“And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.” 1 Sam. 8:5. (KJV).
God initially chose the Israelites as a model nation.
However, they wanted to be like the other nations. They wanted a king.
God allowed their wish:
The result was that the Israelites became like the other nations.
They turned their backs on God.
They served other gods.
God rejected them.
Do you want to be like other people?
Do you want to live like other people?
Jesus Christ is the accurate model for all.
Be like Christ in all areas of your life.
Who do you choose daily to be like?
You are unique in your purpose and calling.
The Church is not to copy the Holywood.
The Church has a unique role in modeling God.
Don’t be like others
Follow Jesus Christ:
The Author and Finisher of our Faith…
Application to the Christian life:
Remain under the protection of God.
Live Daily to please Him.
Honor Him.

As this little child
“Whosoever, therefore, shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matt.18:4 (KJV).
Can you be like a child?
What do you do when you differ from your friend? What do you do after an argument with your friend?
Why will a child be great in the Kingdom of God rather than a grown-up?
A child does not argue.
When a child disagrees, he does not try to convince the other person.
A child does not try to impress others with his knowledge.
A child may fight with his friend, but it will soon be forgotten.
After a short while, they will play again.
Can you do those things with your friends?
How long after an argument do you refuse to talk to your friend?
Do you insist on proving you are right and he is wrong?
Do you want to impress your friends with your knowledge or abilities?
Are you high-minded?
Application to the Christian life:
Be humble as a child.
Submit yourself to the will of God.
Accept His guidance in your life.
Listen to Jesus and follow Him with a pure heart.
