- God will first reveal Himself to you
“There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up.”
-Exodus 3:2, NIV
God revealed Himself to Moses in an extra-ordinary way, and that is through His angel in the burning bush. You must know that God also revealed Himself to you in an extra-ordinary way! God doesn’t reveal Himself to His people in just one way, but in many different extra-ordinary ways, though some thinks it’s just ordinary. It could be that He revealed Himself to you while you are walking down the street and then you saw a banner with a Bible verse written on it, or it could be a Godly phrase written on a jeep, or maybe a Godly message on your phone sent to you by your friend. These are just some examples of how God can reveal Himself, but you must know that there are still a lot, lot more ways that God can use to reveal Himself.
- Your curiosity will draw you near to Him
So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
-Exodus 3:3, NIV
Just like Moses, it is your curiosity that draws you near to the Lord! It is your curiosity that sparked the start of your relationship with Him. Why did I say that it is because of your curiosity? Well, in the point number 1, God revealed Himself to everyone in many different ways, but the problem is that most of these people does not even care! And those people will never, I say NEVER go near to Him, and the Lord will never call them.
- The Lord will call you
When the LORD saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
-Exodus 3:4, NIV
You must know that the Lord only call those people whom he revealed Himself that are curious. So I am glad to say to you that the Lord called you! Yes, your curiosity about the Lord, it is just what He was waiting for so that He can call you! But for those who does not care about the Lord, then I’m sorry to say that they wouldn’t be called by the Lord UNLESS they become curious about Him at the time the Lord reveals Himself again to them.
- The Lord will ask you to remove your dirt/filth
“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.”
-Exodus 3:5, NIV
The Lord is holy, and he hates what is not pure. When the Lord called you, He wants you to remove first all your dirt, because He wants all those whom He called to be cleansed.
- The Lord will give you His purpose for you
And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
-Exodus 3:9-10, NIV
God has a purpose for you, and you will never be able to fulfill it unless you clean yourself. The Lord did not just call you for nothing, He called you so that He could reveal His purpose for you just like Moses! And I believe that the Lord’s purpose is for you to win the world and bring it back to Him. Now, it is up to you if you are going to accept His purpose for you or just waste what He is offering to you.
THE LORD’S PROMISE: "THE LORD WILL BE WITH YOU"
And God said, “I will be with you.
-Exodus 3:12, NIV
But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.
-Exodus 3:19-20, NIV
The Lord will be with you! So don’t be afraid now and just accept His purpose for you! He has already declared victory to Moses when He revealed His purpose, and the same would be done to you! Receive the victory! Receive His purpose for you! WIN THE WORLD FOR THE LORD!
Good day and God bless.
