Meekness is not Weakness

By Pastor 'Deji Adewale

Numbers 12:3 - Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth In Numbers 16:1-35 some people gathered themselves together against Moses, their leader was called Korah and his immediate colleague is Dathan and Abiram.

They say are you the only elders in this town? You hear from God we also hear from God, you Moses, you are the prophet, your elder brother Aaron you made him priest, your sister Miriam, you ask her to lead the choir, you want to turn the church to family business and Moses said I am not the one doing it God sent me to do it, they said God has sent them too.

Then Moses said in that case let God decide.  And God said gather people together and those who are on your side let them stay on your side and those people who are on the side of the other, let them stay at their side. Suddenly the ground opens and swallow the rebels.

When we hear the word meek, many times we think of someone who is weak, shy and reserved. The image is that meek people cannot stand up for them-selves and everyone runs over them. No! Meekness is not weakness, it is strength under control. There are times when running away from something takes more courage than staying.

It takes more courage to walk away from a fight than to raise your fists;  It takes more courage to keep your mouth shut than return a curse.  MEEKNESS is not WEAKNESS. 1st Peter 5:5 – “…Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble…”

You will have good success this 2016.
Remain blessed.
Shalom.
