MURMURING INHIBITS MIRACLES

THE MINISTERS CHAPEL INTERNATIONAL

TOPIC: MURMURING INHIBITS MIRACLES

TEXT:  Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.  1 Cor. 10:10

INTRODUCTION: murmuring or complaining or grumbling is the act of voicing one’s dissatisfaction over God concerning his or her circumstances or it’s voicing one’s doubts and fear over assumed possible negative events. How can murmuring affect our life, lets study

QUESTIONS/DISCUSSION

1.    VOICING OUR DOUBTS BRINGS TROUBLES: I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.  Job 3:26 whenever we assume something bad may happen of things might go wrong, voicing out such negative words in anxiety like Job did would give such doubts the impetus to come to pass.

2.    MURMURING ABOUT CHALLENGES BRINGS DEFEAT: And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature.  Numbers 13:32 The Jews who brought evil report and exalted the challenge more than the ability of God to grant them victory all were defeated before they could enter the promise land.

3.    GRUMBLING OVER THE MEN OF GOD PLACED OVER YOU BRINGS DESTRUCTION: And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.  Numbers 16: 32 Korah incited some men against Moses because he thought he knew God’s law more than God’s servant Moses and he stood to challenge him for incompetence and the earth opened up and swallowed everyone who supports him and everything he owns, yes, when we start grumbling over our men of God for whatsoever reason, destruction of all that concerns us would be our lot.

4.    HOW TO NOT TO MURMUR: Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.  Phil. 4:6 don’t be anxious or dissatisfied about anything, when things aren’t the way they should, put it up to God in prayers and never forsake the  confession of your faith (keep talking God’s promises for you over such issue), because faithful is He that has promised, He will do it (see Hebrew 10:23)

CONCLUSION: when we grumble or murmur, we invite destruction into our lives. Instead of murmur, let’s mutter God’s promises and never waver in our continual declaration of that which God has said concerning such issues we are dissatisfied about.
