The Lord has spoken to my heart recently on trusting Him when He
leads
us in accomplishing certain goals and also to trust Him regardless
of
our present circumstances. This message that God led me to write
has two
points that I want to make. One, is to trust God when He tells you
to do
something, and the other is to believe that God will always give
you the
words and wisdom to accomplish that goal. (Matthew 10:19-20)
(Exodus 4:12)
When God chose Moses as His servant to deliver the children of
Israel from
the hand of Pharaoh, Moses tried to talk God out of sending him
because
Moses thought he wasn't qualified. He came up with many reasons
why God
should send someone else. He told God that he could not speak
well, that
he stuttered, and that he wasn't smart enough to do what God asked
him to
do. The way God answered Moses is the same way God answers us
today when
we try to make excuses when He leads us in fulfilling certain
goals.
Exodus 4:10-12 declares, "Then Moses said to the LORD, "O my Lord,
I am
not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your
servant;
but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue." So the LORD said to
him, "Who
has made man's mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing,
or the
blind? Have not I, the LORD? "Now therefore, go, and I will be
with your
mouth and teach you what you shall say."
When Moses tried to make excuses of why he wasn't qualified, God
answered
him saying, "Who has made man's mouth? Have not I, the Lord?" God
wants us
to know that when He calls us to accomplish a certain goal, He
will give
us the tools to accomplish that goal. God will never ask you to do
something without first equipping you with the correct tools to do
it.
Before Jesus was received into heaven, He told His disciples in
John 14:12,
"Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works
that I do
he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because
I go to
My Father." I believe every Christian that has been cleansed with
the
blood of Jesus Christ is qualified to serve the Lord. Jesus says,
because
we believe in Him, we will do the works that He did and greater
works we
shall do. This scripture tells us that because of the Holy Spirit
that is
within us, we are qualified to do the work of the Lord.
I encourage you to never allow the enemy to instill doubt into
your heart.
The devil knows the power that we possess through Christ and he
will do
everything in his power to discourage you into thinking that you
are not
qualified and are not capable of serving the Lord effectively.
(John 8:44)
Take this message as an encouraging reminder that God is the One
who made
you and He alone knows your potential. Never give doubt to
yourself
because the enemy will use that to discourage you and make you
believe
that you are not able to do God's work. Just as the enemy tried to
discourage Moses, he will try to do the same with every believer.
We know
through God's Word that we are capable to serve the Lord for the
Bible
declares, "We are more than conquerors through Christ who loved
us" and
"Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world.
(Jeremiah 29:11) (Romans 8:37) (1 John 4:4)
Encourage yourself today in the Lord and know that you are a
mighty warrior
for Christ and through His power, you are able to accomplish and
succeed
in every area of life and ministry. If the Lord is speaking to
your heart
to start a ministry or simply to follow His leading, I encourage
you to do
so. God will never ask you to do something that you are not able
to do.
With His strength, wisdom, and guidance you will always be
successful in
accomplishing every goal that God places upon your heart. (Psalm
27:1)
Read and meditate on these scriptures:
2 Corinthians 5:20-21 "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as
though
God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf,
be
reconciled to God. For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for
us, that
we might become the righteousness of God in Him."
Hebrews 4:14-16 "Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who
has
passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast
our
confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize
with
our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet
without sin.
Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may
obtain
mercy and find grace to help in time of need."
Romans 10:14-15 "How then shall they call on Him in whom they have
not
believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not
heard?
And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they
preach
unless they are sent? As it is written: "How beautiful are the
feet of
those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of
good things!"
Philippians 1:6 "Being confident of this very thing, that He who
has begun
a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus
Christ."
All scriptures can be found in the New King James Version.
