Something significant happened to Israel on their way to Canaan. As they began their Exodus from Egypt to Canaan, Israel WAS NOT a Unified entity.
"...and the Children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot...and a MIXED MULTITUDE went up also with them..." Ex. 12:37-38 (KJV Paraphrase are author's).
One nation, one God, possibly one goal but not necessarily a UNIFIED ENTITY.
The "Mixed Multitude syndrome" is a syndrome that always attempts to follow you into your Canaan.
Jesus knew his mission was to die, but when the time drew close, the "mixed multitude syndrome" kicked in...he said "Lord if it be your will let this cup pass from me" but he later realigned to the assignment and went all the way to the crucifixion.
Believe it or not...there is "this hold" your past circumstance (success or failure) will always have on you...and sometimes, it certainly affects your new journey. It's a hold that affects the order in your paradigm.
God told Gideon "the men you have are too much, now, ask THE FEARFUL to go back home". With a few more tests, 33000 men were reduced to 300 men.
Even Abraham had to let Lot go for him to make progress...and it was after Lot separated God began to speak to him to enlarge his perspective. [Gen. 13:14-15]
Who is in your team?
Have you been carrying 33000 men for a task that will require just 300 men?
You have known them for long does not necessarily mean they are relevant to your assignment.
There is nothing wrong with synergising and partnerships but sometimes you also need to know the battles that are exclusively meant for you-Yes, JUST YOU!
It's time deal with your own mixed-multitude! It's time to Put Your House In Order.
You will not fail!
Good morning and Happy New Week!
