Pastor Allan was ministering
as I took notes and present here his digested sermon.
Moses was tending his sheep
in the desert when he noticed a bush that appeared to be on fire, yet it did
not burn up – it just kept burning. His cursorily
got the best of him and he decided to investigate. As he approached the bush, the
voice of God spoke and told him to take off his shoes for he was standing on
Holy Ground.
What he heard next disturbed
him greatly because God had a big task for Moses to do. His many excuses were met with answers, yet
Moses continued to argue because he was comfortable with his life as it was and really did
not look forward to obeying God.
Moses told God that he was
not qualified to lead the Children of Israel.
You are probably thinking the
same thing that you are not qualified; but the fact is God desires to use you and He will qualify you
spiritually.
God used Moses by showing signs and wonders
to the Pharaoh. The people
were amazed at all the miracles God was doing for them. However - - -
How soon they forgot and
wanted to return to the old life of slavery they were use to. They wanted to
go back to where life was comfortable.
Our flesh causes us to have
conflict with things God is asking us to do.
We like the old method of doing things, and change is not comfortable;
yet God is asking us to yield to Him and to His will.
Be willing to accept God’s
move without complaining or criticizing.
Welcome the different.
God has called us to be
lights in our world, using opportunities He has given us.
God is asking you to
participate in the harvest of souls. How
do you feel about that?
Often we have dreams of splendor
and doing BIG things for God. However
God is asking us to be faithful in the little things.
There are various ways to let
our light. Don’t worry about where you
are at in your Christian walk, but have a willing mind and a teachable spirit.
People are suffering and they
need a good word of encouragement, and a prayer from you.
Often there is around us a
spirit of complacency and contentment of the way things are. God is on the move and we must be ready to
move with Him. God is looking for fruit
on the vine and those willing to use their full potential. Allow Him to give you His vision and
direction.
You may ask, “What is down
the road?” I honestly don’t know, but
getting into the presence of God will reveal his will to us.
I love our worship service here at our
church, but it is time for us to take the presence of God with us out into the
real world and to be His light.
Seek the Spiritual gifts
available for you, and allow God to equip you so that you can reach out
to others in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Use every opportunity that
comes your way - - because you have the ability to become a World Changer.
Yes, Let your Light Shine.
Yes, Let your Light Shine.
