TOPIC: FATHER, HELP MY HELPERS: LORD, LET MY HELPER ACT AT THE RIGHT TIME
Memory Verse: Ps. 60:11
“Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.”
Bible Reading: Exo. 2:11-16
“11 Now it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked at their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.
12 So he looked this way and that way, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two Hebrew men were fighting, and he said to the one who did the wrong, “Why are you striking your companion?”
14 Then he said, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” So Moses feared and said, “Surely this thing is known!”
15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh and dwelt in the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well.
I will like you to follow this teaching today, and I pray God will enlightened our understanding in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
When Moses was forty years of age, he decided to check on his people, Acts 7:23-29. Moses had the urge that He will save his people but he was clueless about how it will become. He ended up becoming a fugitive in the land of the Midian after acting before his time.
Forty years later, the Lord called him from the burning bush, Acts 7:30-34. Now, Moses was Eighty years of age. Then, He did as the lord told him and he led the Israelite out of Egypt after Four Hundred and Thirty Years of slavery.
In the book of Genesis 15:7-14, the Lord promise Abraham that His descendant will be in slavery for Four Hundred years, but why was it delayed? Why the extra thirty years of slavery? This is because the helper of Israel missed the appointed time. How? When Israelite was three hundred and ninety years in slavery, that was when Moses was forty years and he came out to see his brethren and ended up killing an Egyptian. In the plan of God, it shouldn’t have taken more than ten years more for their freedom but Moses missed the timing and was about to start the mission without God. This made him to run away for another forty years till he was prepared to carry out the assignment. So, Moses’s lack of patience for God’s timing added the extra years for the children of Israel. He thought it was by anger, aggressiveness or by fighting, until God took him on a journey of forty good years and he learnt how to be humble, that was when he was sent to free the Israelite at exactly Four Hundred and Thirty years for the Israelite.
I will like us to pray to God to help our helpers to understand their timing. That they will not act before their timing and will not act after their timing in Jesus Mighty Name. Moses acted before his timing and that extended the slavery of the Israelite, your Helpers will not extend your days of deliverance Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
