Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

Our spiritual intelligence dictates that we are aware of ourselves and live a life in the realisation of who we really are. One of the saddest things in Christendom is the fact that many Christians are regenerated but are never delivered from the old mindset that keeps them indelibly linked to the past. This was the case for the people who came out of Egypt with Moses. Although they were making their way to the Land flowing with milk and honey, every step of the way they complained. We don’t have enough water to drink, we don’t have enough food to eat, and we don’t have enough variety in our diet and so on and on. Although Moses had a vision of where he wanted to take the people, it was difficult to openly share it with them as they had no intention of visualising what that place would look like. They were more interested in the here and now, the ‘how am I going to fill my belly tonight’ and nothing else. Joshua was aware of the innate trait among his fellow travellers and had to be reminded that that mindset would never survive in the New Season that God was bringing them into. So after Moses died God reminded Joshua of this audibly. Moses is dead, i.e. the old order is no more, the days of complaining and bickering over trivia is dead, long live those days, but it to time to embrace the new. In the new, we follow the angel of the Lord. Every individual is responsible for their household and this is the main reason we have to be aware. Once we are aware, we have to maintain our focus and have a clear distinct vision of where we are going. If our vision becomes blurred or non-existent like Samson who played with the enemy and lost, we will become the but of the enemy’s jokes.  Or even worst like Eli, we could break our necks, lose the glory of the Lord and institute a generational curse on our descendants. To circumvent this we need to be like Joshua and declare publicly, that “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord”, Joshua 24:15. Spiritual intelligence dictates that we get our house in order first before trying to fix the houses of others. So today become spiritually alive and clean up your house! Read Joshua 9.
