TEXT: Exodus 4:1-5
Moses, when called by God, had a lot of excuses for not going for ministry. For instance, Moses says that's he is not worthy of mission task, v.10-12 he says that he can't speak properly, v.13-17 send someone else but not me.
God’s Question: what is in your hand?
One dried rod might be nothing for us but in the eyes of God it was something great.
1. Rod symbolizes Moses’ Personality
Moses held his personality in the rod. It was used to protect sheep.
Identity of Moses was shepherd. He had moments of sin, hurt, unforgiveness, and feeling of inadequacy, talent, aptitude and accomplishment with rod.
2. Rod symbolizes Moses' Potentiality
Moses held his potential in his hand. For Moses rod was like a tool. 7: 17-20 water into blood by rod, 8-16 bring frog sickness, also on flock and thunders n hail. He used it for many purposes.
Conclusion: Though there is nothing in our hand or may be something of no/little worth but if we submit it in the hands of God in becomes a powerful tool for ministry. That will become your personality and potentiality both. Later, Moses submission resulted in dividing Red Sea with same rod.
If God could create everything out of nothing. So he can do same with your limited/no ability as well. But God's question is same today...what is in your hand?? Are you ready to submit it in the hands of God?
