Today: [Numbers Chapter Thirty-One] Defeating the Midianites in Your Life. In this chapter God instructs Moses to war against the Midianites who attempted to seduce Israel with idolatry in the wilderness of Zin. The Midianites worshipped Baal – whose name means dominative father. The name Midian means strife and contention. There is a time in your life to reject sources of strife and contention and to refuse to commit idolatry with those who think you need to submit yourself to heavy handed, dominating spiritual leadership. After defeating the Midianites the spoil was divided not only to the warriors but to those that stayed behind. A true spiritual warrior knows that their conquests are not only to their own benefit but are to be shared as spoil to those who support and pray for them as well.
