TESTED BY FIRE
Who is the most
courageous leader you
know? Why do you say
he’s courageous?
Numbers 13:18-33
When Moses sent them to spy out the
land of Canaan, he said to them, "Go up
there into the Negev; then go up into the
hill country. [18] "And see what the land
is like, and whether the people who live
in it are strong or weak, whether they
are few or many.
[19] “And how is the land in which they
live, is it good or bad? And how are the
cities in which they live, are they like
open camps or with fortifications? [20]
“And how is the land, is it fat or lean?
Are there trees in it or not? Make an
effort then to get some of the fruit of the
land.”
Now the time was the time of the first
ripe grapes. [21] So they went up and
spied out the land from the wilderness
of Zin as far as Rehob, at Lebo-hamath.
[22] When they had gone up into the
Negev, they came to Hebron where
Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the
descendants of Anak were.
Now the time was the time of the first
ripe grapes. [21] So they went up and
spied out the land from the wilderness
of Zin as far as Rehob, at Lebo-hamath.
[22] When they had gone up into the
Negev, they came to Hebron where
Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the
descendants of Anak were.
(Now Hebron was built seven years
before Zoan in Egypt.) [23] Then they
came to the valley of Eshcol and from
there cut down a branch with a single
cluster of grapes; and they carried it on
a pole between two men, with some of
the pomegranates and the figs.
[24] That place was called the valley of
Eshcol, because of the cluster which the
sons of Israel cut down from there.
[25] When they returned from spying out
the land, at the end of forty days,
[26] they proceeded to come to Moses
and Aaron and to all the congregation of
the sons of Israel in the wilderness of
Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought
back word to them and to all the
congregation and showed them the fruit
of the land.
[27] Thus they told him, and said, "We
went in to the land where you sent us;
and it certainly does flow with milk and
honey, and this is its fruit. [28]
“Nevertheless, the people who live in
the land are strong, and the cities are
fortified and very large; and moreover,
we saw the descendants of Anak there.
[29] “Amalek is living in the land of the
Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites
and the Amorites are living in the hill
country, and the Canaanites are living
by the sea and by the side of the
Jordan.”
[30] Then Caleb quieted the people before
Moses, and said, “We should by all
means go up and take possession of it,
for we shall surely overcome it.” [31] But
the men who had gone up with him
said, “We are not able to go up against
the people, for they are too strong for
us.”
[32] So they gave out to the sons of Israel
a bad report of the land which they had
spied out, saying, “The land through
which we have gone, in spying it out, is
a land that devours its inhabitants; and
all the people whom we saw in it are
men of great size.
[33] “There also we saw the Nephilim
(the sons of Anak are part of the
Nephilim); and we became like
grasshoppers in our own sight, and so
we were in their sight.”
What circumstances or events
have tested our faith today?
Tested by Fire (presentation)
Joshua and Caleb
God is testing for
what we are inside.
Numbers 13:31-33
[31] But the men who had gone up with
him said, “We are not able to go up
against the people, for they are too
strong for us.”
[32] So they gave out to the sons of Israel
a bad report of the land which they had
spied out, saying, “The land through
which we have gone, in spying it out, is
a land that devours its inhabitants; and
all the people whom we saw in it are
men of great size.
[33] “There also we saw the Nephilim
(the sons of Anak are part of the
Nephilim); and we became like
grasshoppers in our own sight, and so
we were in their sight.”
King Saul
1 Samuel 9:2 NLT
His son Saul was the most handsome
man in Israel - head and shoulders
taller than anyone else in the land.
1 Samuel 15:27-28 NLT
As Samuel turned to go, Saul tried to
hold him back and tore the hem of his
robe. [28] And Samuel said to him, “The
Lord has torn the kingdom of Israel
from you today and has given it to
someone else - one who is better than
you.”
Joshua and Caleb
Tested by Fire (presentation)
So what does it take to make it to our
“finest hour”?
➡We need to pass the Integrity Test
Joshua and Caleb
Numbers 14:24 NLT
… They got to Canaan…
So what does it take to make it to our
“finest hour”?
➡We need to pass the Integrity Test
➡We need Endurance in the Midst of
Adversity
Don’t lose heart. Our travail
is not by chance. It is by
design - by Sovereign design.
Tested by Fire (presentation)
Joseph sold into
slavery.
Moses tending the
flock.
David spent 10 years hiding
from Saul…
Remember:
An effective
man of God
needs a
tender heart.
TESTED BY FIRE
Application:
➡Prepare to be tested for
integrity of heart.
➡Prepare to learn endurance in
the midst of adversity.
Reflection:
➡In what area of our lives will
we ask God to give us the
strength to be obedient and
wait on Him?
Let us pray…
