The Lord says speak, speak

The Lord says speak, speak 

"That the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "I am the LORD. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you." But Moses said to the Lord, Behold, I am of deficient and impeded speech; how then shall Pharaoh listen to me? (Exod.6.29 AMP)

We are prone to see our deficiency instead of our efficiency. We see and concentrate on the things we do not have but fail to see the ones we have. And in most cases, the ones we have are usually more than the ones we do not have but because we focus on what we do not have, we amplify them and as such increase their ability to hold us down and hold us back. 

This was the case of Moses in our text. God had instructed him to speak to Pharaoh and had told him what to say. So it was not an issue of him not knowing what to say. But instead of speaking Moses complained to God that he is of deficient and impeded speech. 

But we must realize that God will not ask us to do something He know we cannot do. He knows we can do it, even if not in our strength. We must assume that attitude that the Apostle Paul declared in Phil. 4.13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

God asked you to speak, open your mouth and speak. Whatever God asked you to do, it is only because He know that you have the strength and ability in Him to do it. Whatever dream you have conceived is possible in Christ as He strengthens you to do it. Open you mouth and speak, God commands it. Speak to job, speak to the difficult situations, speak whatever it is you want to see, and not what you do not want, speak Gods word and it will come to pass. 

"... Speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. (Matt.8.8)

Good day,
Have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las...

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b...

"Law man" or God's man

Image
The law in one sense was a defective reflection of God. It reflected who God is; though not a perfect reflection. The law says don't steal, God does not steal. The law says do not lie, God does not lie, etc. But there was more to God that law could not show or give to us. As a result, God has given us His grace. His grace was not just a reflection of Himself but was God Himself. The law would should you what to do but could not grant you the ability to do it but grace did not just show you, He did it for us. The essence of the law was to satisfy God but grace came and did that on behalf of mankind. The reason why the Apostle says here that he quiets being a 'law man' but instead became God's man "What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man". (Gal.2.18 MSG) Are you 'law man' who is still strivi...
