NUMBERS 13:30
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.
NUMBERS 14:24
But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
因他另有一个心志,专一跟从我,我就把他领进他所去过的那地;他的子孙也必得那地为业。
HAVE YOU A CALEB SPIRIT?
Right in the midst of this uproar, Caleb stood up; he would not be silenced.
Caleb was one who was not going to go along with the majority. Oh how we need Caleb’s today, and Joshua’s for that matter. Remember that in the book of Joshua, even at age 80, he said, give me this mountain.
He is one who is like Paul in Philippians 3; always pressing on. He is seeking always to go forward, and to claim more ground. He wants to claim the prize, because there was no retirement for him.
Caleb did not put his sword away. He was ready!
Note the wonderful promise given to Caleb. Please note who one of the first judges of Israel was, that’s right, Caleb’s nephew:
:
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
10 And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the Lord delivered Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushanrishathaim.
When you honour God, He will give you honour. God granted the promise He made to Caleb.
My question is:
Have you a Caleb spirit?
Have you an attitude that goes against the flow, even when the majority say you are wrong?
Are you prepared to say: Give me this mountain?
I will be 80 in SEVERAL years, I hope by the time, I reach that age, I will be saying:
GIVE ME THIS MOUNTAIN
I want to go higher, further and deeper.
Then you have a Spirit like Caleb.
God bless you,
