Exodus 3:2(And the angel of the LORD
appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush and he looked,
and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And
Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is
not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto
him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am
I).
In the journey of life, there are so
many things contending for our attention but your victory will be determined by
the one you chose to listen to; the choice is yours. Moses did not ignore the
strange fire burning in the bush; he turned aside to see it and God called him.
It was strange because the scripture said that the fire was burning but yet the
bush was not consumed. That got his attention and he decided to turn aside and
see closely. As he got closer he heard the voice of God. You will hear the
voice of God concerning that issue in Jesus. It takes closeness to hear God’s
voice. Imagine if he had ignored the strange fire we would not have been
talking about Moses today. Many times God has tried to get our attention but we
ignore him and that is to our detriment. God does not need us; we need him in
everything we do because without him we can do nothing. So many people have
missed their hour of visitation because of incuriosity. Moses' life was a
failure before he encountered God; at age 80 he was still keeping his father in
law’s flock. What an irony but that one decision to turn aside changed his
destiny for eternity. We need divine visitation to manifest our destiny.
I believe that every great inventor has something that draws their attention to
what they invent. Moses had an encounter with destiny because he was curious
and allowed God to get his attention. Every genuine encounter with God always
leads to a change of story. The value you put in your encounter with God will
determine whether you will make it to the end because is not everyone that has
an encounter with him that made it to the finish line. Some draw back because
of their own selfish interest and disobedience; but that will not be you in
Jesus name. Every encounter with God comes with a condition; if you meet the
conditions, your victory is guaranteed. He told Moses to remove his shoes
before he would get closer, that’s sanctification. He is a holy God. We need to
remain holy if we really want to maintain his presence in our life. He told
Abraham to leave his father’s place and walk uprightly with him and that he
will make him father of many nations and he does. Genesis 12:1(Now the Lord
had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and
from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make
thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great and thou
shall be a blessing). So it takes changing of identity and location to
follow God. What God was actually telling Abraham was that from the time of
this encounter, I will be your only father and kindred. That’s exactly what he
wants with us; God does not like a divided attention. He wants to be the only
one that gets our attention because he is a jealous God. Exodus 34:14(For
thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a
jealous God). 2 Corinthians 6:17(Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye
separate saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive
you, And will be a father unto you, and you shall be my sons and daughters
saith the Lord Almighty). Friends, I don’t know where exactly you are now,
it is time to give that flame of fire burning in your front attention, only
then you will have a change of story. Today, as you make the decision to turn
aside, I see God lifting you up from the ground in Jesus name. The first step
to answer his call is salvation. This simple salvation prayer below will settle
you for life in case you have not.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
