Topic: Cry Of Canal Pilgrims [DCLM Daily Manna 25 July 2019 Daily Devotional By Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Numbers 11:10-15 (KJV)

10 Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent: and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased.

11 And Moses said unto the LORD, Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant? and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight, that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me?

12 Have I conceived all this people? have I begotten them, that thou shouldest say unto me, Carry them in thy bosom, as a nursing father beareth the sucking child, unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers?

13 Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people? for they weep unto me, saying, Give us flesh, that we may eat.

14 I am not able to bear all this people alone, because it is too heavy for me.

15 And if thou deal thus with me, kill me, I pray thee, out of hand, if I have found favour in thy sight; and let me not see my wretchedness.

Key Verse: “Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families, every man in the door of his tent, and the anger of the Lord was kindled greatly; Moses also was displeased” (Numbers 11:10).

MESSAGE:

Many factors help to define the degree of one’s maturity. One of these important indices is the way one reacts when faced with challenges and unexpected occurrences. In times of failures, disappointments and crisis, the mature would always respond with the right and positive attitude. On the other hand, the immature would display negative attitude. Complaint, murmurings, withdrawal attitude, sucking, etc. are signs of immaturity.

Despite the steadfast presence of God with Israel as they journeyed out of Egypt through the wilderness, the unregenerate and the mixed multitude that left Egypt murmured and complained against God and Moses, their leader.

Every believer in the Christian race must settle the issue of serving God right from the onset of the journey. A diligent resolve to follow the Lord patiently and in faith is a virtue we must cultivate in this heavenward race. Unfortunately for this group of pilgrims, only Joshua and Caleb amongst them had the right mindset and attitude, and they only could make it successfully to the Canaan land.

Complaints and bickering are evidence of physical and spiritual immaturity. Issues that prayer and faith in God would easily neutralise are often mismanaged by doubting, prayerless and weak folks in the fold, thus leading to catastrophes. All faithless actions manifested by these pilgrims resulted in hot displeasure of God and Moses the servant of God. As contemporary believers, we must be firm in our conviction and act right for our soul’s sake. Nothing is impossible with God.

Thought For The Day: Faith in God secures our needs and neutralises anxiety and worry.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
