Come now and I will send you

Exo 3:10: "Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt."

This passage teaches us that leaders should not send people out to fulfil their assignments without providing them with the necessary training, skills, and resources. Sending people out without proper preparation is unfair and unwise. Leadership is about empowering others and turning followers into leaders in their own right, within the scope of their God-given abilities and responsibilities. We should not keep those who serve under us as followers indefinitely, but rather train them and give them meaningful tasks. Everyone seeks purpose and fulfilment, so we should assign responsibilities based on the grace and abilities that we see in each person.

We must resist the temptation to hold back individuals whom God is assigning to new tasks different from ours due to our fear of losing them. Instead, we should take on the responsibility of mentoring them by involving, guiding, blessing, and overseeing them so that they can fulfil God's purposes for their lives. God will reward us for this by sending us many others who will be beneficial to our ministries. Keeping people with us whom we are supposed to send out to fulfil their ministries will provoke God's anger.

It is through our obedience to God in releasing such individuals that He will send more people to us to train and dispatch for the advancement of His kingdom's purpose in our hands. One reason why some thriving churches or ministries no longer thrive is due to their leaders' reluctance to release individuals whom God is directing to start new assignments. Some individuals who were eventually released by certain leaders were sent out unceremoniously. As a result, the ministries or churches led by these leaders became stagnant because of the bitterness they harboured towards the individuals who had left.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
