HAVE YOU FOUND THE WAY?
Text: EXODUS 2 vs. 10-12
Vs. 10: “And he looked this way and that way and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.”
Praise the Ancient of days! We give God the praise, for His breath in us; He carries us from glory to glory. Beloved, Moses was ordained by God as a deliverer to the children of Israel. When he was born it appeared as if he would not survive because of the decree to kill, but he survived, and when he grew up, he grew to understand that there is a call upon his life, and that call pushed him forward. The Bible says in vs. 11, “And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown that he went out unto his brethren and looked at their burdens.” Beloved, although Moses grew up with the Egyptians, he knew that he did not belong to that kingdom; he knew that they were not his brethren; he knew he belonged to the household of faith. But those of the household of faith were being oppressed day in day out, with sin, pain, poverty, sickness, anxiety, frustration and with so much burden. The Bible says, “He spied on Egyptian smiting the Hebrew.” He was able to locate the cause of the burden. He discovered what was smiting the boldness, the riches of his brethren and he decided to act as the deliverer. Now, to the crux of the matter; the Bible says “He looked this way and that way and when he saw no man he slew the Egyptian.” Beloved, when Moses was going to the walk in his call, he lacked the basic requirement. The Bible says, “He looked this way and that way.” When a man is called, he is called to the way, and the way is Jesus Christ. He will lead us to the truth, and the life will be manifested. Moses had not found the way; he had not found the method of how the deliverance will take place; he felt the burden, but had not found the way; the only way he found was this way and that way, and as far as God is concerned, no man has been appointed to this way and that way; and until a man finds the way, he will continue to mess things up. Beloved, have you heard the call? Can you feel the burden that God wants you to alleviate the burden of His people? But if you keeping looking this way and that way you will be walking on a strange principle, and although you may think you are doing the job, but it limits the progress of your mission, and can bring a question mark to the call upon your life. Have you mess things up in the past in the bid of heeding to the call? Then you need to seek God for the way. There is ‘the way’ of operation for every dynamic call; we pray for you; may you locate the way for the mission in your hand; for that business to prosper; and for your marriage and academics to blossom. God will show you the way. Jesus Christ remains the way, the truth and life, and He has the money/ manual to give you for your job on earth. Locate Him today; He is more interested in seeing His will done on earth. He will show you the way; stop struggling in your family, academic pursuit, ministry etc. He is the way in and out.

Prayer: Dear Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I diligently seek Your face for the direction of the operation and the full details of your manual for me. I ask You for forgiveness in every way I jumped the gun on the matter of Your will. Today, open my eye
