Deuteronomy 1:6 “The Lord our God spoke unto us in Horeb, say, ye have dwelt long enough in this mount”

Meaning, where you are now... Your present condition, your current situation that makes you feel unpleasant, that causes you sorrow, that make you feel depressed, oppressed.’

It means you have stayed enough in that current/unpleasant situation- Deuteronomy 1:6B- “Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount (in this agony and pain).

What’s next?
If you have stayed long enough in a current situation, particularly unpleasant ones, then… “It is time to break camp and move on” Deuteronomy 1: 7 (NLT)

Now go to the hill country, the western foothills, the Niger, and coastal plain. Go to the land of Canaanites and Lebanon, and all the way to the great Euphrates River. (All of these places above are known to be rich lands, often described as “Land of milk and honey”.

And now because you have stayed in that unsatisfied and compromised position for a long time, the Bible is now saying that you should go and inherit this new position (a position of joy; happiness; riches, wealth, promotion, cars and houses etc)

“Go and occupy it” Deuteronomy 1: 8.

Conditions For you to enter this new position:
1. You must have listening hears to everyone (Deuteronomy 1:17A (Relate to everyone at their own level of relationship with you, be kind in dealing with people)

2. Be impartial in your judgment of people

3. Be perfectly fair in your decisions (Don’t be arrogant in decision making, consider others)

4. Relate to everyone (Poor and rich)

5. Don’t be afraid of anyone’s anger, for decision you make is God’s decision (Because you have kept and obeyed diligently 1-4 above), you have obeyed God’s commands and therefore you speak the heart of God

6. Don’t be afraid, don’t be discouraged. Because when you have obeyed all theses God’s commandments, just like you have obeyed all the laws of nation, you obey all the traffic rules, environment rules, moral rules, security rules, you don’t steal, you are not a corrupt government official etc, you are free like a bird, no police can arrest you, and if they do indiscriminately, you will be eventually freed because you have stayed on the truth.
The same way, because you have been faithful to the commands of God, you need not be afraid, nor discouraged about situations that may appear too heavy for you. Face it, stay through without complaining or grumbling, and you will triumph at the end of it.

But once you start complaining, grumbling, even with your visions and dream of the future, you refuse to stay through to the dreams, you doubt, you fret, you complain and confess negative things, then you sin against God. Because he has already told you, “Don’t be shocked or afraid” Deuteronomy 1:29 (NLT)
In all you do always remember, “The Lord your God is going ahead of you. He will fight for you” Deuteronomy 1: 29B (NLT).

So why weary? Why fear? Why doubt your dreams/visions about tomorrow just because of present predicaments?
