📖 Based on Numbers 23 | Tuesday, 25th February 2025

Introduction
The enemy doesn’t give up easily. In Numbers 23, we find King Balak still determined to bring Israel down—not with swords, but with words. Despite failing in his first attempt to curse God’s people, he presses Balaam to try again… and again.
But here’s what we learn: you can’t curse what God has blessed. Three times, Balaam attempts to speak destruction—but each curse turns into a blessing. This chapter reminds every believer that God’s promises over your life are irreversible.
“You can’t curse what God has blessed.”
1. First Attempt – Curse Reversed into Blessing
📖 “How can I curse those whom God has not cursed?” — Numbers 23:8
Balaam builds seven altars and offers sacrifices, hoping to manipulate spiritual forces. But when he opens his mouth, blessings pour out instead. God controls every word. Instead of destruction, Israel is praised for being set apart and victorious.
📝 Lesson: God speaks blessing over you—even when others speak against you. (See Romans 8:33)
“God’s promises over your life are irreversible.”
2. Second Attempt – Different Angle, Same Result
📖 “God is not human, that He should lie… Has He spoken, and will He not fulfill it?” — Numbers 23:19
Balak thinks location might change the outcome, so he takes Balaam to a different viewpoint. But again, Balaam blesses Israel, declaring that God is not like man—He doesn’t lie, and He doesn’t reverse His promises.
📝 Lesson: You don’t need to fight lies with fear—God’s truth always prevails.
“God speaks blessing over you—even when others speak against you.”
3. Third Attempt – Desperation Meets Divine Faithfulness
📖 “There is no divination against Jacob, no evil omens against Israel.” — Numbers 23:23
By now, Balak is desperate. But it’s clear: God is defending His people. Balaam admits that no spell or curse can touch those whom God has chosen. Israel is secure not because of their power, but because of God’s covering.
📝 Lesson: No weapon—physical or spiritual—can prosper when you walk in God’s blessing. (See Isaiah 54:17)
“You don’t need to fight lies with fear—God’s truth always prevails.”
Conclusion
Numbers 23 is a masterclass in divine sovereignty. Every attempt to curse God’s people fails—not by human effort, but by God’s own intervention. His promises to Abraham are still true today:
📖 “I will bless those who bless you… and whoever curses you I will curse.” — Genesis 12:3
When God blesses you, it’s settled. No spiritual attack, manipulation, or opposition can undo it.
“No weapon—physical or spiritual—can prosper when you walk in God’s blessing.”
