NOT A MAN OF OUR COMPANY WAS MISSING - Not Even One Series 003
Numbers 31:48-49, KJV
"48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: 49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us."
This is the report Moses got from the commanders of thousands and hundreds who led the Israelites' troops to battle. It is that they have numbered after the war and found that none of the hair of their head had fallen to the earth. They went to battle with a certain number of soldiers and at returning reports back to the base with the record of total completion.
It is a blessing if you engage with a number and return with the same number. It's a blessing when after it all, you're not taking a record of losses. It's a blessing if a pregnant woman enters for delivery with the hope to give birth to the second in her and returns with that baby and herself. That is when none of the hair on her head has fallen to the ground.
I pray for you, you won't suffer or begin to count losses. Even as the year progresses, you won't have a story of losses to tell. You're redeemed from every loss encounter. When you engage and go out full, at evening tide when you shall return, you won't return back empty. This prayer and receiving is so germane because it's not everyone who steps out full that returns full (the same way). On the way and in their journey, they might have leaked virtues or lost souls who traveled with them. This happened to Elimelech who carried his family to a foreign country. They never came back complete. Naomi crying says, "20 Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me" (Ruth 1:20-21, KJV).
If you go out of God's plan, you can't but suffer or record losses. That's why she says, "the Almighty has testified against me."
When you take a number of your family at evening time, none shall be missing. No strand of your hair would have been declared fallen. None would have been announced missing or kidnapped and even though they return home, none would have strayed from faith (a greater loss).
PRAYER: Lord, I have entered into Year 2025. My covenant and declaration is none shall be missing of all I took into it.
