POWERFUL LESSONS WE LEARN FROM MOSES

Life Lesson #1: You can’t RUSH God’s Timing, But You CAN DELAY it - Acts 7:20-36 (25-29)

There is no way to speed up God's plan but be assured, you sure can slow it down.  When you get in the way it will cause delay!

Remember: Your actions can cause a delay in the process to your promise.

Life Lesson #2: God’s Promises Depend on Your AVAILABILITY not your ABILITY - Exodus 3:10

Don't compare your abilities with someone else's.  God has given you gifts.  Stir them up.  For 40 years Moses was served in excellence, followed by 40 years of having to serve sheep in pastures.  He was in a place of privilege, then a place of poverty, but God wasn't finished with him yet.  At 80 years of age, the call of God came to him.

Remember: your most important ability is your avail-ability!

Life Lesson #3: God requires our HUMILITY - Numbers 12:3

Humility is the key to greatness.  Bless God in the process!  Don't have a bad attitude because of negative circumstances and don't get puffed up because of your talents or abilities.  Let the tough times create a humility that can propel you into your promises.  Don't make the mistake of confusing quietness with humility.  The strength of one's voice or personality has nothing to do with whether or not one is humble.

Remember what we learned last weak: Humility means 'modest, not arrogant, taking the nature of a servant'.

Life Lesson #4: Who God Calls, He Empowers - Exodus 4:2-9

In the midst of Moses' weaknesses, he stayed humble and God empowered him to do miracles.  Many think that Moses had a stuttering problem but that is nowhere to be found in scripture.  In fact, his fear of speaking was more likely to do with the fact that he was raised in an Egyptian household and thus more learned in the Egyptian language than he was in the Hebrew language and that caused him to fret about speaking to the Hebrew people.  God told Moses,
"Tell them 'I AM' sent you!"  It was not about Moses but God.  It is not about you, but God.

Remember that The First and The Last is who is working it out on your behalf.

In Summary:

1. Don't get in the way and cause a delay
2. Make yourself and your abilities available to God
3. Get and stay humble; pray for your promise
4. It is God who gives you any power or ability you have, to establish His plan

CHALLENGE: Recall a promise God has made to you that has not yet come to pass.  Have you gotten in the way and possibly caused delay?  Have you made yourself and your talents available to God?  In the midst of circumstances, have you remained humble and prayed for your promise, or have you grumbled in frustration?  Do you recognize who it is you are empowered by?  Commit God's promises back to Him.  He is waiting for you.  Stay faithful to God and His local church and avoid delaying the promise any further.
