What is your greatest desire in life, what do you want to see accomplished in your life time? Does it seem like a mirage or something that only happens in dream land? Or worse still, you have no idea or clue regarding what you want or desire. You just know that there is something locked deep within you, prompting you to reach out for more but you don’t know exactly where to begin from. I would like to admonish you not to give up but rather redirect your gaze on the One who can indeed make impossibilities possible and put your complete trust in Him by handing over those issues to Him in complete surrender.
When we hand over things that are of utmost importance to us, to God, we receive it back in a “resurrected” form, better than what was handed over in the first place. Take for instance the rod of Moses. When Moses ran away from Egypt, he became a shepherd and assisted his father in-law. A shepherd’s rod is one of the most important item or tool a shepherd carries along with him while taking the herds in and out for grazing. It is impossible to see a shepherd without a rod because, the rod is a means of defense and protection against predators and robbers. So, it must have been unsettling when God asked Moses to drop his rod (defense and protection) on the ground. The thought of safety and how he would defend himself and the flock, must have plagued his mind should there be an attack. Let us put ourself in Moses’ shoe- that was his first encounter with God, he wasn’t too certain of whom he was interacting with. But Moses heeded and dropped the rod on the ground and picked it after God asked him to.
God makes the ordinary, extraordinary. A mere rod in the hand of Moses became an instrument of the miraculous after it had been turned over to God. When we likewise turn our lives to Christ by accepting Him as our Lord and savior, His precious Holy Spirit takes permanent residence in us. The Holy Spirit within us is the divine enabler, who gives us the abilities to accomplish those things which hitherto we had struggled with; His presence in our lives distinguishes us from other people in the world.
After the disciples had been filled with the Holy Spirit (Pentecost) in the book of Acts, they became unusually bold in declaring God’s word and performed miracles which was visible for all to see, even the Sanhedrin could not deny that there was something different about them. Moses before his encounter with God sensed within him that he was meant to be a deliverer of his brethren, he tried accomplishing this feat with human wisdom and strength but ended at the back of the desert until he met God.
To unlock and accomplish all that is within you, you need the help of the Holy Spirit. He will take you beyond your natural abilities and make your natural supernatural. Make a decision today to have an intimate and dependent relationship with the Holy Spirit, He alone can put you over in all life circumstances. As you rely more on Him, He will bring out in you, abilities you never knew existed within you.
