Moses

Generation To Come

By | Eyesalve

Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying,” Joshua 1:1

 

Thank God there was another man who God called to lead and who God would talk to in the generation that followed after Moses. We have had men in decades past who have led Christ’s church and have had the Lord talk to them. Thank God we have such men today in our generation. I have a question for the young saints. Will there be such men in the next generation to come?

After They Eat

By | Eyesalve

And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna (What is it?) for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat.” Exodus 16:15

 

Most other Bible versions ask, “What is it?” where the KJV says, “It is manna.” The word manna means whatness. After they ate the manna, they knew it was bread for them. They no longer had to ask, “What is it?” Though most people know Jesus by name, it isn’t until they are ready to eat of His body that they will no longer have to ask, “Who is He?”

Eyesalve: They Were Not Afraid

By | Eyesalve

By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.” Hebrews 11:23

 

When we think of faith, we know it has so much to do with believing God. Here we see that it also has something to do with not believing and not fearing someone else.

Eyesalve: Hear and Tell

By | Eyesalve

And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Take thy rod, and stretch out thine hand upon the waters of Egypt, upon their streams, upon their rivers, and upon their ponds, and upon all their pools of water, that they may become blood; and that there may be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood, and in vessels of stone.” Exodus 7:19

 

There are times the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. Then there are times the Lord spoke to Moses and said, “say unto Aaron.” This is what is expected out of every preacher. He is to hear from God and tell the people what He said.

Eyesalve: Take Advantage

By | Eyesalve

And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Exodus 3:3-5

 

Moses, the great man of God, was not permitted to get any closer to the burning bush, for God was there. We are so blessed because God does not stop us from getting close to Him like He did to Moses. For us, who the Holy Spirit dwells in, God will let us get as close to Him as we want. Jesus said, “Come unto Me,” I recommend you take advantage of that.

Eyesalve: Taking Advantage of Grace

By | Eyesalve

And Moses said unto the LORD, See, thou sayest unto me, Bring up this people: and thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send with me. Yet thou hast said, I know thee by name, and thou hast also found grace in my sight. 13Now therefore, I pray thee, if I have found grace in thy sight, shew me now thy way, that I may know thee, that I may find grace in thy sight: and consider that this nation is thy people.” Ex. 33:12-13

Moses is reminding God of the grace that he has shed on him. You could say that Moses is taking advantage of the grace of God, he is using it to move the heart of God. However, Moses is not taking advantage of grace like some do and think it is a permission to sin, he is pleading God’s grace for three reasons.

1. That God would show Moses the way.
2. That He might know Him more.
3. That God would have mercy on the nation of Israel.

Eyesalve: Rod of God

By | Eyesalve

“And Moses took his wife and his sons, and set them upon an ass, and he returned to the land of Egypt: and Moses took the rod of God in his hand.” Ex. 4:20

In the backside of the wilderness, the stick in Moses hand was a staff for shepherding sheep. When the call of God came upon Moses, that staff became the rod of God. If a mere shepherds staff can become the rod of God, imagine what you could become for God.

Eyesalve: Let Go of the Baby

By | Eyesalve

“And the woman conceived, and bare a son: and when she saw him that he was a goodly child, she hid him three months. 3And when she could not longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bulrushes, and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein; and she laid it in the flags by the river’s brink.” Ex. 2:2-3

Sometimes when you get promises of good things and hope of effective ministry, you just have to let go of the baby. If it is God’s child, you can be certain He will take care of it and bring it back in due season.

Eyesalve: Jesus Gives Grace #3

By | Eyesalve

“For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” Jn. 1;17

Thank God for the law for it shows us how much we need grace. Here is a quote from a minister friend of mine. “The Law in the old covenant was written on stone to show us our need for a Savior. Grace in the new covenant writes the law on our hearts to love our Sanctifier.”
