Moses never knew he could use his staff to perform the kind of wonders it did, Moses
was a shepherd in Midian for 40 years, Acts 7:23-30, so using his staff to control the
sheep was what he thought the staff was meant for, until God made him understand
that the staff was more than just a mere staff, and that it was a tool of deliverance,
Exodus 4:2, Exodus 14:21-22. God can use anything and anyone to fulfil His will,
Philippians 2:13, Luke 19:37-40. Our mandate as believers is to win souls for Christ.
In all we do we have to see to it that we are doing our best to populate the Kingdom of
Heaven and depopulate the Kingdom of Darkness. God expects us to spread the gospel
not only in church, but in our workplaces, at school, on the streets when we driving
and even through our behavior and the way we treat others.
The purpose of God doing wonders is to reveal His power, to demonstrate His love
and care for us His children and to draw people to Himself and His Kingdom. When
Moses was sent to Pharoah to display the wonders of God, God superseded what the
magicians of Pharaoh could do, Exodus 8:18-19, God made this possible so that He
will be able to deliver his children from the hands of the Egyptians. God wants to use
whatever we have in our hands to fulfil his will; He can use our job to make us share
his word with our colleagues not only by preaching to them but also through our
actions, He can use our talents, He can use our house as a place of worship to bring
the community to Himself and Kingdom.
In 1 Samuel 17:49-50, We learn how David used his sling and stones to defeat Goliath.
David could have used a sword or an arrow, but he was a young shepherd boy and not
a soldier. In this instance, God wanted to use what David had at his disposal to
demonstrate His power and draw His people nearer to him. God made David to use the
most unusual of ways to defeat Goliath so that He could be praised and so that people
will believe more in God.
In 2 Kings 4:1-7, we also learn about the Elisha and the widow. The widow’s husband
had died and left a lot of debt behind and now her creditors were coming to take away
her two sons as slaves, Elisha asked her one simple question, “Tell me, what do you
have in your house?” and she replied saying, “Your servant has nothing there at all,
except a small jar of olive oil.” Elisha understood that God can use anything to take
the glory and to bless us. Elisha asked her to go and collect vessels from her neighbors,
then go inside and shut the door behind her and her sons and pour oil into all the
vessels until they are full, then she should go sell the oil to pay off her husband’s
creditors.
Rahab used her house to hide the spies from Israel and protect them, Joshua 2:1-6,
Rahab had heard about how God delivered the Israelites from Egypt, parted the Red
Sea, and defeated other nations, Joshua 2:9-11. She recognized that Israel’s God was
the true God and feared Him more than the king of Jericho. Rahab was a prostitute of
the Canaanite city of Jericho. Her faith led her to act by helping the spies, which later
resulted in her and her family being spared, Hebrews 11:31. This is another instance
where God shows us that he will use anyone to draw his children nearer to him.
Beloved, God will continue to give us the grace to be able to win souls for Him in
Jesus Name, Matthew 9:37-38. God will continue to use us for his glory in Jesus
Might Name, Amen!!! However, you must be determined to use everything He is
blessing you with for Him and for the advancement of His will, work and His church.
God bless you.
