WHO I AM I THAT I SHOULD GO:: Shared By Niceness

And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt. But Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt (EXODUS.3)

I thank God for the book of Exodus, I hope we all know the story of Moses, born from house of Levi brought up by pharaohs daughter, killed an Egyptian, fled to Midian where he met and married Zipporah, met with God at Horeb where he was sent back to Egypt to deliver the Israelites.

Mhhh! “Who am I that I should go”. Moses conversation with God in the mountain was all about him arguing the reasons why he should not be the one, however like always Gods word was final; I wonder how many times we have argued with God? I have, but he always wins.

Exodus reveals how God knows us from our mother’s womb and plans our lives a head of us. In Midian, it was planned by God that he will go there and be taught Gods way by Jethro his father in law. He needed to know his God first before introducing him to the world, to pharaoh. But in this place had become so comfortable, even had a family of his own such that he dint want to take the next step of faith towards his destiny, resulting to the argument with God (But Moses said to God, "Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?)

What does this mean? He may have being looking after goats at the time, but his call was not to be a shepherd in that town, he had being called to be a deliverer, but shepherding was part of the journey.

Church of God, some people are in their location of their assignment, they have gone to Jethro and being taught and has now gone back to deliver that assignment and I thank God for you. But on the other hand, many are in Moses shoes at the time, comfortable with where we are and actually have been fooled into thinking that is all there is. Shepherding and going back to the family is not all God had fro Moses, NO! More fun was to follow, like dividing the sea among others.

I want to encourage some one today, wherever you are at the moment is path best days, and the shaking and sending few drops of tears is part of it, for on our way we get attached to places and things, but in order to go to the next level we have to leave them behind. Most of the time we even argue like Moses, BUT please may we not delay our blessing knowing that at the end of our resistance to his voice, Our awesome God always get it his own away! AMEN.

He says “Am not a man that I should lie”. Therefore, every thing that he has spoken concerning you, it shall happen. Most of the time, prophesy and the current situation always looks so different. Moses is to deliver Israel from Egypt, but he is on asylum in a foreign country. Do not let what you are going through determine the result, stand in faith and let God do his work. DO NOT GIVE UP!The massage is don’t argue with God, if he wants you in that place, stay there. If he decides that your time is up, you need to pack and move in a foreign land or back to the previous one, do it because that’s where your assignment is. He don’t always reveal the full picture, we might be so excited or too afraid to act, so he needs us to TRUST in him, and walk the walk until we find our selves there and mature enough to handle the blessings.

There are people out there in captivity, there are situation out there that need to be confronted, Justice that need to prevail, Poverty that have to be abolished, sins in the society such as abortion and homosexuality that need to bow down to righteousness. God is preparing you “for these pharaohs”, that’s why you are on the run, that’s why you are in a foreign environment to learn, that’s why God has placed some Jethros in your life to teach you , that’s why you feel inadequate, (Moses and his speech problem) so that Gods power can be manifested you. So do not ask “who am I that I should go?” You are the one that has being set apart for that purpose. AMEN!!

who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, (2timothy 1:9)

BE BLESSED
