Pharaoh recognized Moses’ power and influence with God.
On a number of occasions, Pharaoh pleaded with Moses to intercede for him and
his people. Moses did and the plagues were stayed. Please see Exodus Chapters 8
verses 1 to 13, 20 to 31; 9 verses 20 to 33; 10 verses 12 to 19. Even the
Israelites recognized Moses’ power and influence with God. Severally, they
asked Moses to speak with God on their behalf. Please see Numbers Chapter 21
verses 4 to 9.
But most significantly was when they said Moses should
always go before God to them after an encounter with God that intimidated them.
Please see Exodus Chapters 19 verses 1 to 25, and 20 verses 1 to 26. Moses indeed had great power and influence
with God. Severally he interceded for the Israelites and God listened. But for
the fervent intercession of Moses for Israel, who knows, the nation of Israel
would have become extinct in the wilderness as they journeyed to Canaan. Please
see Exodus Chapter 32 verses 1 to 14, 30 to 35, Numbers Chapter 11 verses 1 to
3, 14 verses 5 to 20, 20 verses 1 to 7, Deuteronomy Chapter 9, 10 verse 10.
Moses had open heavens with God and always experienced
open heavens. The gates and windows of heaven, I mean both access to the throne
room of God as well as access to
heavenly resources were all his for the asking. God spoke with Moses as a friend;
gave explanations for what He had to do and even what He would not do. Please
see Exodus Chapters 32 verses 30 to 35; 33 verses 11 to 23. God revealed
Himself to Moses. Please see Exodus Chapter 34 verses 5 to 10.
The grace and glory of God upon Moses was great.
Moses’ face so shone with the glory of God after spending quality time with God
that the people of Israel could not look him straight in the face. Moses had to
wear a veil. Please see Exodus Chapter 34 verses 28 to 35, 2nd
Corinthians Chapter 3 verse 13. The glory of God comes with spending quality
time in the presence of God through word study, fasting, praise/worship, adoration,
evangelism, intercession and whatever it is God wants you to do. The glory of
God in the life of anyone is precious. This is because the glory of God is not
only priceless; it is highly attractive and draws men as well as other
resources to a carrier of the glory of God. Please see Isaiah Chapter 60 verses
1 to 22, Haggai Chapter 2 verses 1 to 9 and Isaiah Chapter 62 verses 1 to 4.
God accomplished many things through Moses. God used
him to perform many miracles in Egypt and the wilderness. This happened because
Moses was fully yielded to God – he did exactly what God asked him to do. Please
see Exodus Chapters 3 to 12; 14; 15 verses 28 to 27; 17 verses 1 to 7,
Deuteronomy Chapter 34 verses 7 to 12. The only time Moses stepped out of line;
he incurred the wrath of God and lost the opportunity and privilege of entering
the Promised Land. Please see Numbers Chapter 20 verses 1 to 13 and Deuteronomy
Chapter 32 verses 48 to 52.
Beloved, your palace may not be the type where Moses
was raised to become a prince of Egypt. Secondly, you may be so accustomed to
that palace that nothing in the world can take you away from that palace. Great!
But the truth is that that palace that appears to be the best thing that has
happened to you in life is actually your start point to greatness in life if only
you will let go of the palace or should I say that you should use the palace as
a stepping stone to the true greatness God designed for you from the foundation
of the world so that you can be His vessel of honor for the healing of the
nations.
