Theme: Grow Above Your Limitations
Text: Numbers 27:1-11
27 Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, by the doorway of the tabernacle of meeting, saying: 3 “Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not in the company of those who gathered together against the Lord, in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be removed from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.” 5 So Moses brought their case before the Lord. 6 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 7 “The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right; you shall surely give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. 8 And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter. 9 If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers. 10 If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers. 11 And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the relative closest to him in his family, and he shall possess it.’ ” And it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
Limitations are setbacks or hindrances to accessing you breakthroughs. Most often, it's nicely package but ugly inside. They always provide reasons why things can't be this or that in your life.
The daughters of Zelophehad did not allow the order of their days to hinder their father's inheritance. You must learn to express your opinions without fears. The Lord changed the rules for these ladies, He can also change yours if you come before Him with your humble request.
Do not give room for limitations. There's no limitation in life expect that which a man wills for himself. Rise up and speak to that limitation that has overstayed its welcome in your life. You have power over it for the Spirit of God dwells in you.
Prayer: Abba! Father, grant me the courage to change the things I can change. The serenity to accept those I cannot change. And the wisdom to know the difference. But God, grant me the courage not to give up on what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless. AMEN!
Amen and may God help us
