Draw up a schedule

Draw up a schedule

"Moses posted the calendar for the annual appointed feasts of GOD which Israel was to celebrate." (Lev.23.44) 

Anyone who will succeed in life knows that success is not a happenstance but a consistent application of deliberate steps. And that is where your schedules comes in. It is very important that we have a prepared time for everything and most especially a time when we meet with God to draw strength and strategy. Some people prefer to do it first thing in the morning, hence we hear, morning devotion. But if morning does not work for you, find the time that works, what matters is that you meet with God. 

Moses posted the calendar for the appointment that the children of Israel had to keep with God. Having a place and a time to meet with God is very crucial. It prepares you to meet with God and prepares God to meet with you. This does not limit us to a place and time, but helps us to stay consistent with God. 

The bible says that at certain time, in the cool of the day, God would comes down to meet with Adam. (see Gen. 3.8) A time to study God's word, a time to prayer, a time to meditate on God word, a time to think, plan etc. Joshua as well as the Psalmist say day and night is a good place to start. 

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. (Josh.1.8)

"But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. (Ps.1.2)

In both scriptures, we see that the word of God was engaged day and night. Schedule your time with God and keep your appointments with him.

Steady your heads

Steady your hands "But Moses' hands got tired. So they got a stone and set it under him. He sat on it and Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on each side. So his hands remained steady until the sun went down.(Exod.17.12 MSG) Consistency and stability are two traits that we need to succeed in life. The Bible says those second guessing themselves will not receive anything from God.  "Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought. People who "worry their prayers" are like wind-whipped waves."(Jas.1.6)  Our text illustrated this very clearly. Moses had an assignment to keep his hand raised. But as human, he became tired and his hand would come down and as that happened his people would lose the battle. So he devised a means to create consistency and stability, he rested his hands on a stone, with support from Aaron and Hur on either side supporting him.  We need this kind of support, the kind of systems an structures that will help to create stability in ...

Daily ration, daily routine

Daily ration, daily routine  "GOD said to Moses, "I'm going to rain bread down from the skies for you. The people will go out and gather each day's ration. I'm going to test them to see if they'll live according to my Teaching or not. On the sixth day, when they prepare what they have gathered, it will turn out to be twice as much as their daily ration." (Exod.16.4 - 5) What you do daily determine what you become permanently. God had told the children of Israel that he was going set up rules and procedures for them to follow. In this day and age, we would have said structures and systems but rules and procedures communicate the same intentions.  So God says to Moses in response to the complaint against God about not having enough to eat. God says He will rain bread down from the skies but these bread are to be taken by the people on a daily basis and on the sixth day, they will take a double portion. Take only what the day requires. This will set them in ...

Be mindful of the crowd of riffraff

Be mindful of the crowd of riffraff "GOD saw to it that the Egyptians liked the people and so readily gave them what they asked for. Oh yes! They picked those Egyptians clean. The Israelites moved on from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot, besides their dependents. There was also a crowd of riffraff tagging along, not to mention the large flocks and herds of livestock." Exod.12.36 - 38) These verses bring to mind the parable Jesus told about the wheat and tares. The Bible says the farmer planted good seed but at mid night while men slept the enemy sowed tares among the good seed. When he was asked if the tares be uprooted, he told them no, but that they should grow together. The operative word been grow.  "Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. (Matt.13.30 ) The israelite came out of Egypt not just ...
