Description
<p>Friday 25th September 2020 .</p> <p><br></p> <p> Hello and lovely Friday morning to you in the name of Jesus.</p> <p><br></p> <p> We are gradually coming to the end of the month of September. We trust God it will be a wonderful weekend for you in the name of Jesus.</p> <p><br></p> <p> How do we cultivate our conviction? We have spoken about the place of knowing who God is, we have spoken about the power of hanging around God and fellowshipping with Him.</p> <p> </p> <p>Today, we want to see another one from the life of Moses. So, from the book of Exo 3:11 (NLT) " 11.But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?” </p> <p><br></p> <p>This is what Moses was saying to God. This is the same Moses who years ago about 40 years had believed he could just take the children of Israel out of Egypt and lead them into their deliverance. He was the mighty prince of Egypt and he thought so much about himself but after that failure experience and he had an encounter with God in this burning bush he just saw his ordinariness .</p> <p><br></p> <p>The truth is this; Every true encounter with God reveals the limitations and helplessness of Human beings. Remember the story of Gideon, Isaiah and Mary. When Gideon met with God. God told him "Listen; you are a mighty man of valour and Gideon said, "I can't do anything, I am the smallest in my family, my family is the smallest".</p> <p><br></p> <p>In Isaiah chapter 6, The Bible talks about the year that Uzziah died, I saw the Lord when Isaiah saw the Lord he said" I am undone, I am finished. How can I stand before God? When Mary met God through the angel and Gabriel brought the message to her that she is going to have a child. She said, "How can these things be?" I don't even know a man and how would this thing be ? The truth is that; Every true experience with God, every encounter with God will show us that we don't have the power to do it on our own. </p> <p><br></p>
