PRIORITIES
By PROPHET DR TB BONDERA
Num.11.5 – We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;
A certain Chinese billionaire is credited with saying if you put a banana and money in front of a monkey, the monkey will choose the banana because it does not know that the money will buy it more bananas.
It is also said that if you put food besides a key in front of a poor, hungry man locked up in a cage, the man will choose the food instead of the key. The man will choose the food because it brings immediate satisfaction and not the key that will lead to long-term freedom. This is the nature of most of us. We tend to sacrifice long-term benefits because of the need to satisfy our short-term desires. A poor mindset causes short-sightedness, which does not allow you to see beyond the present into the future.
Because of the temporary hardships that they were facing in the wilderness, the children of Israel were prepared to go back into slavery in Egypt just to satisfy their cravings. They were prepared to forgo God’s promise of milk and honey in Canaan. They did not mind leaving behind the Ark of God, the pillar of cloud or the pillar of fire that hovered above them by night and day or the Prophet who was leading them. All they thought of were the cucumbers, melons, leeks, onions, and garlic that they ate in Egypt.
Kingdom principles are very hard to follow, but they yield long-term benefits when adhered to. Many of us we tend to ignore these principles because of our immediate desires, and as a result, we miss out on the good news and great blessings that God has already prepared for us.
