*COMMENTARY*
In our text, God instructed the Israelites through Moses that they should not fight for the land of Esau, Mt Seir, and the land of the Moabites because He would not give to them no matter how much they would cry, pray, struggle or fight for those lands, which He had already given to those two nations, though they were bad people outside His Covenant. This clearly shows that God is a just God who respects the rights of people. He is not a meddler. He is not the author of confusion and He would like His children to follow His footsteps as they seek to possess their possessions, whether spiritual or material, in this life. Ambitions that are not of God will surely crash and meet with a brick wall because God will not give grace and other Divine variables for their realization. This will lead to frustration, the
inability to achieve set goals.
One of the reasons people fail in life is that they chase after those things which God has not appointed for them. Hence they go contrary
to the will of God. This may be due to ignorance, selfish ambition or greed. The scripture says, "When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures" (James 4:3).
To make achievements and be happy in life, you must be careful to hear from God whether it is God's perfect will to embark upon any project, marry a certain person, get a particular job, get a particular office, travel or relocate to a particular nation or city, study a particular course in any institution, etc. When you are in God's perfect will, success will come almost effortlessly, all things being equal, though some may require perseverance and resilience. We must learn from our text and heed God's warning not to pursue struggle, pray, fast, cry, sow seeds, lobby or fight for what is not ours from the Lord. Let's move into our bonafide inheritance in Christ Jesus and God's grace will be abundantly sufficient for us to get there this year and beyond.
