Numbers 11:1-3
¹And when the people complained, it displeased the LORD: and the LORD heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the LORD burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. ²And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the LORD, the fire was quenched. ³And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the LORD burnt among them.
The taskmasters rewarded the Israelites with food and by food these children of God were subdued, managed and made to conform to the idea of a meal being sufficient. However they did work with rigour for this blinding reward.
Now that they are liberated from the taskmasters, they only could reason in terms of food and outside food, they could only see death and thus Lamentations arise displeasing God who saved them and was able to provide free food, and He did provide food. In their Lamentation; they are food specific, with this mentality they will not appreciate any other kind of food however nutritious it is.
Exodus 16:2-3
²And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: ³And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.
Many Children of God today are still serving the task masters! How one may ask!
If One has a job that is good for life’s daily sustenance, it is enough for your accommodation, and You are consistently in debt and instead of gratitude You come off as indebted to the hand that gave unto You, chances are You may still be under a taskmaster. At any given threat of losing that stream of inflow you cringe, with this know this kind is subdued in the mind, even to seek out new avenues is near impossible because this kind only functions within the limits of a slave that serves diligently unto their own destruction.
The tendency to fight they that offer an opportunity for an open mind is eminent as this kind fight for meagre survival rather than expanded opportunity for self sufficiency.
God gave greatly to the Israelites but they used their unearned wealth to form a calf-god to satisfy their lusts.
‘Even gifts shall fade away in a dead mind’
Numbers 11:5-6
⁵We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: ⁶But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes
You do not want to be a being in the evening of Your days only able to tell folk stories of Your missed successes because your HR policies were bad, even lament how taskmasters used You and abandoned You, how it’s the family You were born into was the problem. It is still possible to start over now. Be open to critical thinking.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
“I declare that Every task masters that lives in your head perish now in Christ Jesus.”
Prophetic Utterance:
I refuse to be poor,
I will never be poor,
I am equipped with God’s principles on growth, I am led into hidden treasures even hidden in dark places.
I stand in the glory of God.
I will not squander that which God has given unto me, I am a good Steward in God’s kingdom.
I choose to prosper, I choose to multiply that which is in my hands.
Halleluya.

Numbers 13:30-33
³⁰And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. ³¹But the men that went up with him said, We be not able to go up against the people; for they are stronger than we. ³²And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel, saying, The land, through which we have gone to search it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature. ³³And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight.
