SCRIPTURE: Genesis (NIV) 46:2 And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!” “Here I am,” he replied. 3 “I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. 4 I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.”
OBSERVATION: God is spoke to Jacob and gave him direction to move ahead and travel to Egypt where he wpild see his son Joseph.
IMPORTANT: The emphasis in this passage is not in what God wanted Jacob to do for Him, but on what God was going to do for Jacob!!!
APPLICATION: The Holy Spirit now speaking to Leon: “When God gives you an assignment, He is not depending on your ability to accomplish the assignment, but on His ability to work through you. In giving you the assignment, He is looking for an opportunity to demonstrate His power, His wisdom, His provision. He is looking to display His all-surpassing ability through your weaknesses. He is looking to display His provision through your lack. He is looking to display His wisdom through your obedience.
“Leon, the key is to know His voice and to do what God directs. If it is His will, He will be responsible for everything. If you are doing what you think is best, then it becomes your responsibility. You will have faith for His provision when you know that you are doing His will. You have His Presence promised to you!
“Leon, your goal is not to show what you can do, but to be an avenue for God to show what He can do. Your life, Leon, is to be a window through which people can see Jesus!”
PRAYER: Lord, make me a clean window so that it will be easy for people to see you in me and working through me. Amen.
