WHO SENT YOU

-

Exodus 4:1,11-12,17

But Moses protested again, “What if they won’t believe me or listen to me? What if they say, ‘The Lord never appeared to you’?”

Then the Lord asked Moses, “Who makes a person’s mouth? Who decides whether people speak or do not speak, hear or do not hear, see or do not see? Is it not I, the lord?

Now go! I will be with you as you speak, and I will instruct you in what to say.”

And take your shepherd’s staff with you, and use it to perform the miraculous signs I have shown you.”


Do you know who sent you?


You wonder why many seem to have left the gospel of Christ (God's salvation) to follow something else. Some have gone after money, fame, relevance some have lost faith completely.


Further still, some have found religion! 


Some who ask what is wrong with religion. I will answer "religion is man-made", "salvation is God made". This is what Christ was explaining to the Samaritan woman.


John 4:21-24

Jesus replied, “Believe me, dear woman, the time is coming when it will no longer matter whether you worship the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

You Samaritans know very little about the one you worship, while we Jews know all about him, for salvation comes through the Jews.

But the time is coming—indeed it’s here now—when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship him that way.

For God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”


The problem is that people do not really know who called them, thus, they do not know who sent them. How then can they live a proper life and do a good job?


Romans 10:13-15

For “Everyone who calls on the name of the lord will be saved.”

But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?

And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”


One other problem there is, is the same the children of Israel who were freed from Egypt had (as we will see as we study further), they always seemed to forget!


They forgot who the Lord their God is, notwithstanding all the miracles signs and majorly the deliverance.


Don't supposed believer do the same today?


Our lifestyle and actions make it look as if we have never known the Lord. It is as if we do not trust Him. We could merely speak about Him but we neither represent Him or reflect His light.


Matthew 5:16

In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.


Who called you, who sent you?


Some have even replaced God's place with a man!


That is what the children of Israel did with Moses, as we will see, it became a major stumbling block for them.


Exodus 32:1

When the people saw how long it was taking Moses to come back down the mountain, they gathered around Aaron. “Come on,” they said, “make us some gods who can lead us. We don’t know what happened to this fellow Moses, who brought us here from the land of Egypt.”


You wonder that this happened just few days after they had given an oath to obey God and received the commandments from Him.


These things marvel us, it is an utmost ruthless unbelief!


But . . . Don't we do the same?


1 Timothy 2:5-6

For, There is one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.

He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.This is the message God gave to the world at just the right time.


We know this, yet we form other idols and mediators for ourselves.


People do not seem to have the one on one relationship with the Heavenly Father. That is why there is so much chaos and undignifying things in our gathering. There is no "one purpose" or one heart.


We see people rushing to be part of a prayer or worship event or gathering only having one thing in mind. My miracle, my breakthrough etc.


There may be nothing wrong with that, however are their lives dedicated to the Lord.


Do they know who called them?


Pastors, ministers, evangelists, popes, bishops etc. Do those who listen to you or you minister to know who called them and who sent you to nourish them?


We must get it right.


Lord open our eyes and understanding, may we get it right.


Help us Good Lord.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
