Blessed Beyond Curses II

Wednesday 15 July
READ: Num 23: 18 - 25
MORE LESSON: Num 24: 1 - 10

Balak made the mistake of trying to curse Israel whom God had blessed. Any man that curses you is making a costly mistake because he will carry the curse by his own head. Balaam, the prophet that was hired to curse Israel, took off on an ass motivated by greed. When he got to a place, an angel of the Lord stood with a sword in his hand to slaughter him. If not for his ass he would have died for nothing. The animal saw the angel and averted the death but a whole seer did not see anything. Any man who lives in disobedience to God is less than an animal before God; so the animal began to teach and rebuke the prophet. This ridicule happened to him because he wanted to curse Israel (Num 22: 22 -33). Any man that is out to curse you will experience the greatest ridicule of his life.

I want you to know that as a child of God you are too blessed to be cursed. Any man that curses you is deceiving himself; who can curse the one whom the Lord has blessed? God filled Balaam's mouth with blessing instead of curse and he released blessings upon Israel. He said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it.

He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain: vs18-24. He gave a very prophetic blessing to Israel! Even Balak had to resign by saying that Balaam should just leave and stop blessing them instead of cursing them (Num 23: 25).

But by this time Balaam couldn't stop anymore as he went ahead to bless Israel the third time (Num 24: 1 – 9). All your enemies will give up over you today because you are the blessed one of God. No man can curse you, you are blessed beyond all curses.
