MFM Daily Devotional 27 March 2024 Message

Today, we want to look at the failure of Miriam, why she failed and how we could avoid her pitfalls. It should be noted that the meaning of the name ‘Miriam” is ‘rebellion’ Whatever made her parents name her Rebellion on the eighth day was unknown but probably at birth, she must have exhibited some form of rebellion even as a helpless baby. So, the trait had been there lying low and waiting for time to mess her up. She never dealt with it and it eventually dealt with her. I pray that any power waiting to mess us up in our high places shall die gruesomely, in the name of Jesus.

Miriam had got to a point in ministry where she felt she had arrived and could do anything anyhow to anybody. After all, God was also working wonders through her; so, why should Moses being her younger brother be taking all the glory, she felt… She began to badmouth whom God had chosen. She dared to speak against the man of God. She now wanted more than one talent and started to badmouth the person with five talents.

READ MFM Daily Devotional 26 March 2024 – Lessons from the Life of Miriam (IV)

She didn’t stop there, she influenced Aaron to join in her rebellion. This is true of how some believers behave in church and other places of engagement. After God has lifted them to certain leadership positions from the miry clay of life, they will feel they want more, and then rebellion will start against the overall head. They will make sure they make the environment horrible for the leader to have their wicked ways. If you are in that shoe, I warn you to desist quickly and repent, if not, leprosy is hanging around you. Yours may not be a physical leprosy, but be sure that your sin will find you out and you will never go unpunished.

Beloved, it is important to know our place in the body and stay there. Stop wishing for another person’s calling when you have buried yours. Stop being a rebel to God’s anointed because God will not take it lightly. Identify your calling and stay there. Indeed, God is also speaking through you but you must know your limit. May we not be in the black book of God, in Jesus’ name.
