And the Manna ceased | Bishop Dr. Jimmy Kimani | DCIKZ

Key Scripture; Joshua 5.11-12

• For 40yrs the children of Israel were waiting on the promise God made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob many years ago. {Gen 13.15-17 , Gen 28.13-14, Gen 50.24}

• Major changes they faced;

1. The manna ceased - and what it meant to them;

It was a gift of God's grace to them. {Ex 16.1-5}

It was used to test their obedience to believing God.

It was small. {Ex 16.14}

It was white, the provision of God.

The manna came at night.

It was misunderstood by those who found it.

It was sufficient for every person's need.

It was sweet to the taste. {Psalm 34.8}

It was to be kept and passed on to others.

• The manna serves to remind us of who Jesus is and what He came to do in our lives.

2. What the manna provided;

It provided grace to keep on living. It sustained those who came to Him by faith.

It was appropriated by stooping.

It was appropriated by swallowing. Working out your salvation and being practical about it.

• He blesses us with His presence, provision, power to withstand what comes our way, and with His promises.

• Jesus Christ in us provides hope to us and the assurance that we will never walk alone.

If manna never ceased the children of Israel would not have enjoyed their Canaan.

There are some habits and things that need to cease in our lives for us to enjoy the promises of God.
