NUMBERS 14:6-9.
6 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes.
7 They spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “The land, which we passed through to spy it out, is an exceedingly good land.
8 If Yahweh delights in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: a land which flows with milk and honey. [Rom 8:31]

TOPIC: CALEB.
MESSAGE: COCIN Devotional TOPIC: CALEB THURSDAY 4TH MAY 2023
God pledged to lead Israel to the Promised Land to give them rest. The spies gave a pleasant report about the blessings and prosperity of the land, but some also presented a discouraging report that the inhabitants were powerful and the cities fortified. So, the people were gripped with fear. But Caleb trusted the Lord and would not treat God’s power and ability with contempt. He confidently expressed, should go up and “We take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it”. The threat of Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers often terrify us because they are brutal and well-armed. Even so, our trust is in the Lord who is able to protect, deliver and avenge for his people. Therefore, do not be afraid. COCIN Devotional TOPIC: CALEB THURSDAY 4TH MAY 2023
