Missions! This is the heartbeat of God. …..And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned (Mark 16:15-16). This is God’s commandment to us as believers, how, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? Rom 10:14. If you cannot go to do missions like the missionaries, you can give to support them, you can also fast and pray for them. God has called us as believers to give, fast and pray. This can also be your art of worship to Him, giving all that you have to support the work of His kingdom, giving to the poor and those in need.

 ….for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me (Matt 25:35-40). When you give to missions You are giving to the Lord and you will never miss or loose your reward. I encourage you to give and support missions and missionaries.

There’s so much to learn from the life of Moses and his calling to deliver the Israelites from Egypt.

He thought of himself as inadequate, incapable, not fit for the task but God made him to know that all he needed was obedience and confidence to accomplish the task. What do you have in your hands? Everyone has “a rod” in his or hand, something that can be used to help others, and be a blessing to them. Your talents, your skills, the gifts that God has blessed you with but some of us are holding back just like Moses did. We think we are too young, we think we can’t do it, we think we are just too shy to do what God has called us to do. God is waiting on us, He is waiting on you to give him that rod in your hands so He can turn it to miracles and  use it to be a blessing to someone.

However, we need to work on ourselves to be able to accomplish or do whatever God has called us to do. As believers and music ministers, we need the help of God to handle our weaknesses, giving them to God to help us overcome them so that these weaknesses will not hinder us from fulfilling our destiny.

What are those weaknesses? The bible calls them “the flesh” – anger, unforgiveness, lies,hatred, laziness,resentments,etc think of it, whatever can limit the grace and the anointing of God in a man’s life. Those things should be handed over to God so that they don’t destroy us. Moses weakness was anger and it cost him the Promised Land. Ask God to help you to overcome those weaknesses, you know what they are and God knows too. He made you and you are the sheep of his pasture. You can not even hide those things from Him, then why don’t you admit them and ask Him for more grace and make a conscious effort to work on yourself too so that God can turn that rod or those rods in your hands to miracles – fiscoyadahpraise!

” If you will trust Him by taking care of the “small end” (the little things ) He has instructed you to do, He can and will use you to do great things for His glory” – Jentezen Franklin.

Moses answered, “What if they do not believe me or listen to me and say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you’?”

 Then the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?”

“A rod,” he replied.  The Lord said, “Throw it on the ground.”

Moses threw it on the ground and it became a snake, and he ran from it. Then the Lord said to him, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.” So Moses reached out and took hold of the snake and it turned back into a staff in his hand. “This,” said the Lord, “is so that they may believe that the Lord, the God of their fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has appeared to you.”

God was about to give Moses an assignment to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt but he was in doubt, he thought he could not do it. When he began to question God’s plan, God asked him what was in his hands…Moses replied, “a rod”. God transformed the rod into a serpent and from that point God used Moses’ rod to perform miracles.

 Then the Lord said, “Put your hand inside your bosom.” So Moses put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, the skin was leprous—it had become as white as snow.

Now put it back into your  bosom, He said. So Moses put his hand back into his bosom, and when he took it out, it was restored, like the rest of his flesh.

If Moses was going to accomplish the task of bringing the Israelites out of Egypt, then he must learn two crucial lessons:

He must be able to handle the snake and He must learn how to handle the flesh.

The snake represents the devil and God is saying we must learn how to handle the enemy, when the enemy comes at you, God says give it over to Him and He will do the rest. God told Moses to pick up the snake by its tail (the small end). If you will take care of the “small end” God will take care of the “big end”. God wants a partnership with you.

The flesh can rob us of the anointing. If we cannot handle our own flesh, we will never be able to help others.When Moses killed the Egyptian to protect his people, he gave in to the desires of the flesh. He was eventually discovered, your acts of the flesh will always be uncovered. You must learn how to take hold of your fleshly desires and give them over to God.

Moses lost his temper and smote the rock with the rod that God had anointed and he got himself into trouble again. We should be careful of how we use the gift,talent and the authority that God has given us. If you give in to the flesh, no matter what your position, it will cost you. Moses gave in to the flesh through disobedience and God did not allow him to enter the Promised Land.

Although the fig tree may not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, though the labor of the olive may fail, and the fields yield no food; though the flock may be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls- yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength, He will make my feet like hind’s (deer’s) feet, and He will make me walk on my high hills……Hab 3:17-19

This is my word of encouragement to you today that you rejoice in Him, you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus who loves you, weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Always remember that our God is faithful, He has not brought you this far to leave you, He loves you and He is working things out for your good. He has scribbled you on the palms of His hands and your walls are continually before Him, so be encouraged and be expectant!

Enjoy this song from Sinach:

I’m gonna dance and praise Him
It doesn’t matter what comes my way
The greater One lives inside of me
His name is Jesus
I’m born a winner
More than victorious
I’m an heir of the Kingdom
Filled with the Holy Ghost

I rejoice in Him (3x)
More than a conqueror

No weapon formed against
Shall ever prosper
The Greater One lives
His Name is Jesus
I’m born a winner
More than a victorious
I’m an heir of the Kingdom
Filled with the Holy Ghost
I rejoice in Him(3x)
more than a conqeuror
