CLEARLY DEFINED INSTRUCTIONS

AN ESTABLISHED COVENANT

The Lord had spoken to Moses saying....

Exodus 6: 4,5 KJV

And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

Because of their bondage, it was hard for Moses to receive that in the situation where they were established.  

He was also weakened by his previous experience.  His previous encounter seem to be a failure because Pharaoh's heart became more hardened and increased more punishment on the children of Israel.  But God had spoken.

Exodus 6:10,11 (KJV)And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

In verse 11 Moses objected.....
And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?

TODAY'S FOCUS:  OBJECTION DELAYS THE PROCESS

Verse 13 - And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Moses objected and gave many reasons why he wasn't capable of doing what God said.  His hesitation and excuses were not validated.  

At times it can get difficult especially when people do not believe you because they have not seen the manifestation of the word that was given to you.  But God has great plans for you, and His promise will be fulfilled whether you believe it or not.  He may give you help or may choose to bring it to pass with someone else if you continue to object.  

Has God spoken to you about something but you are allowing your circumstances to handicap and delay your progress? What's your objection or excuse?  

What have you been called to do that you feel that you are not equipped to handle?
And the Lord spake unto (insert your name) saying.... (Make a list)

Ask God for the strength to fulfill the task, seek His counsel and follow His instructions. 

Remember when God gives instructions, they are clearly defined especially when they are etched and or connected with a covenant.  You cannot be a coward, and excuses will not work with God.  It is difficult to follow God without putting your full trust and confidence that He will do what He say He will do.  Even if others don't believe, Believe God -  IT SHALL COME TO PASS!

God Bless and Keep the Faith!
