It’s Him, Not You!

“Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” Moses said to God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?” He said, “Certainly I will be with you. This will be the token to you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.”” (Exodus‬ ‭3:10-12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When God says “I will send you,” it means that He has prepared everything you need to accomplish the task, even His miracle-working power.

Moses had fled from Egypt after accidentally killing an Egyptian soldier many years ago and was still haunted by the fear and shame of what happened back then. This traumatic event caused Moses to become self-conscious, with an inferiority complex.

When God said “I will”, Moses said “Who am I”. Moses’ focus is wrong because the ability and worthiness was never found in him, but in God.

When God sends you, it is not because you are good, but because He chooses you, and that makes you the perfect person for the job. He can transform someone who is utterly incapable to become a mighty vessel to showcase His power.

“Moses answered, “But, behold, they will not believe me, nor listen to my voice; for they will say, ‘Yahweh has not appeared to you.’” Yahweh said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.” He said, “Throw it on the ground.” He threw it on the ground, and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it. Yahweh said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand, and take it by the tail.” He stretched out his hand, and took hold of it, and it became a rod in his hand. “That they may believe that Yahweh, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” Yahweh said furthermore to him, “Now put your hand inside your cloak.” He put his hand inside his cloak, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, as white as snow. He said, “Put your hand inside your cloak again.” He put his hand inside his cloak again, and when he took it out of his cloak, behold, it had turned again as his other flesh. “It will happen, if they will not believe you or listen to the voice of the first sign, that they will believe the voice of the latter sign. It will happen, if they will not believe even these two signs or listen to your voice, that you shall take of the water of the river, and pour it on the dry land. The water which you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.”” (Exodus‬ ‭4:1-9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Moses was still self-conscious, feeling unqualified for the huge task. God gave him two supernatural signs to cause the people to believe. When God sends you to deliver a message, you are not relying on persuasive speeches and cunningly devised words, but on the power of God.

“My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” (1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:4-5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The world has no access to this power, so it has to depend on natural speaking techniques only, but God can give you favor with men, cause miracles to happen as you speak, and stir the hearts of the listeners through the Holy Spirit. Don’t rule out the supernatural.

“Moses said to Yahweh, “O Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before now, nor since you have spoken to your servant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.” Yahweh said to him, “Who made man’s mouth? Or who makes one mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Isn’t it I, Yahweh? Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.” He said, “Oh, Lord, please send someone else.”” (Exodus‬ ‭4:10-13‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Even after receiving the direct mandate from God, and two supernatural signs to convince the people with, Moses was still focused on himself and his lack of ability.

He disqualified himself based on his weaknesses, but this is because he didn’t have the New Covenant revelation that God’s power is made perfectly clear in our weaknesses.

In the very area of his weakness (mouth), God promised to be with him. When God is with you in something, it will surely prosper exceedingly and abundantly above all that you can think or imagine.

Moses was still afraid and asked God to send someone else. God was angry at his unbelief, and the anointing of speech was eventually given to Aaron (Moses’ brother) instead. Moses missed out on receiving God’s powerful grace, and settled for relying on Aaron to be his spokesman.

The apostle Paul also learned the revelation of receiving God’s strength through his own life experience.

“He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Therefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong.” (2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:9-10‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

If you are like Moses who was slow of speech and ineloquent, or if you are weak in any other area, see that as a qualification to receive God’s great power in that area. It is precisely because you are weak that you are God’s perfect candidate for the job. When you are weak, then you are strong because the power of Christ will rest on you!

37 Miracles of Jesus (Miracle 1): Cleansing the Leper

“When he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him. Behold, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, “Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean.” Jesus stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, “I want to. Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Jesus said to him, “See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭8:1-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The power of this miracle is that no Israelite has ever been cleansed of leprosy since the ceremonial law of cleansing a leper was given to Israel by Moses (Leviticus 14:1-32).

By cleansing the leper from leprosy, Jesus proved that He is the Messiah Israel was waiting for.

That’s why Jesus told the leper to go and show himself to the priest and offer the gift according to the law of leprosy, as a testimony to Israel.

Jesus told the man not to tell anyone about it probably so that he would focus on the task at hand to prepare the items needed for the ceremonial cleansing and to make the trip from the Galilee region to the temple at Jerusalem.

Look at the beautiful manner in which Jesus cleansed the leper. He didn’t have to touch him, but He chose to.

I can only imagine how long that leper had been without physical contact from society.

By touching him, Jesus proved that He was really willing to cleanse him.
‪Other kings may have healed the stinky and dirty leper from a distance—but not our loving, humble Savior King.‬

““‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.” ‭‭(Leviticus‬ ‭5:3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Under the Law of Moses, a person who touched a leper would become ceremonially unclean, but when Jesus touched the leper, He made the leper clean. His touch is greater than whatever affliction you’re facing.

In the Bible, leprosy is a picture of our sins. We were totally leprous but Jesus was willing to cleanse us from it by becoming a Man, and even to the extent of dying a bloody, painful death at the cross for us.

Dear brethren, if God through Jesus was willing to suffer all that to cleanse you from your sins, wouldn’t He be willing to heal your body of sickness, provide for all your needs, give you a blessed family life and make you fruitful in all you do?

See Jesus’ eyes of compassion and love fixed upon you today. He is so willing and able to supply the Grace for every need that you have!
