Title: Just A Little

MEMORIZE: A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men. Proverbs 18:16 (NKJV)

BIBLE READING EXODUS 4:2-4 (NKJV)

[2] So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”

[3] And He said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

[4]Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand),

MESSAGE

In today’s Bible reading, we see the wonder God performed with Moses’ rod. I believe that the miraculous manifestation wouldn’t have happened if Moses had undermined what he had and despised God’s instruction.

Everyone possesses something that God wants to use to help others worldwide; if they release it to God, He will make a good thing out of it. I remember when I was believing God for some money to complete the first auditorium at the Redemption City in Nigeria.

God instructed me to give a violent offering: I was to give the last cash on me to someone. It sounded foolish, but I obeyed in faith. A few days after, I received cash gifts; the exact amount needed to complete the project.

Dear child, don’t see your talent or gifts from people as little; use them when the need arises.

KEY POINT

If you don’t give when you have little, you will not give when you have much.

HYMN 5 – TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

  1. Take my life and let it
    Consecrated Lord to Thee
    Take my moment and my days
    Let them flow ceaseless praise.
  2. Take my hands and let them move
    At the impulse of Thy love
    Take my feet and let them be
    Swift and beautiful for thee
  3. Take my voice and let me sing
    Always only for my king;
    Take my lips and let them be
    Filled with messages from Thee.
  4. Take my sliver and my gold
    Not a mite would I withhold
    Take my intellect, and use
    Every power as thou shalt choose.
  5. Take my will and make it Thine,
    It shall no longer mine:
    Take my heart, it is Thine own;
    It shall be Thy royal throne,
  6. Take my love, my Lord, I pour
    At Thy feet its treasure store;
    Take myself, and I will be
    Ever, only, all for thee
