MOSES provides a wonderful case study on how God calls a leader out of a crowd to perform an assignment.
Let's take a look at eight areas on how He does this... --> -->
1. God gives the leader an emotional investment in the work.
Moses "bought into" the idea of freeing the Hebrews from bondage even before God called him to the task.
2. God affirms the leader through others.
When Moses told Jethro about his encounter at the burning bush, his father-in-law affirmed him.
3. God gives the leader mentors.
Moses asked for and received help from Jethro. Aaron, and others.
4. God builds on the leader's strengths, experiences, and background.
God used everything in Moses' background to help him fulfill his calling: the fine education he received in Egypt; his knowledge of Pharaoh; his understanding of Egypt; and his time in the wilderness.
5. God often refines the leader's character in obscurity.
Moses received a 40-year "seminary education" in the desert.
6. God instills in the leader the value of hard work.
Moses may not have worked much in the Egyptian palace, but he learned its worth in the desert!
7. God sustains that leader with a powerful vision.
Moses caught the vision of the Promised Land long before the Hebrew slaves did.
8. God brings others alongside the leader to compensate for their weaknesses.
Moses enjoyed the help of Aaron as spokesman, Joshua as general, and Hur as battle supporter

THE PROGRESSIVE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIFE!
There is a purpose in every season of our life. This year 2009 is a season for revelation to be revealed. We are being and have been prepared for this new season of favor from God.
Think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which has and is trying you! But God says to rejoice because you have been and are partaking in Christ sufferings. When God's glory is revealed you will be glad with exceeding joy.
God wants us to give more access to His presence. There is more to be done and we cannot do it without His Spirit. For it is not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit.
Yes, we have failed God many times during the preparation for this day, this hour, and this year. Think of God's love--how He so graciously leads us along.
The learning is tough but it carries a great and glorious recompense of reward.
God says to you this day that you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God. Otherwise, we will not receive and enjoy our full reward.
Jesus is coming soon and He will not delay, so receive and be a part of the revelation knowledge God wishes to pour out on each of us.
Give access to God's presence in your life. Give access and time to God in your life. This is the day that His glory will be revealed in you.
Do not be sad, do not be frustrated, do not be discouraged, and do not be depressed. Revelation brings joy! The world needs joy and revelation of God will bring joy.
The progressive work of the Holy Spirit in your life has prepared you for this year. Trials seem long but the joy and reward are worth the wait.
God says that we are not to be faint-hearted. Our confidence must rise to a new level. Our hope must exceed yesterday's hope. Only the Holy Spirit can inspire that confidence that is needed. The word of God brings revelation. The word of God brings joy and hope.
Cut all ties, cut all weight off--be clean before God. Make room inside of yourself for a new revelation of who God is.
Christ died for you...
AND THERE WAS A RESURRECTION
DAY FOR YOU!
a word spoken in due season
