GOD'S ENCOUNTERS!

"And Moses said to God, "who am I that I should go to Pharoah and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?" Exodus 3:11. My friend "don't miss the encounters God orchestrated in your life". I have learned sometimes our small encounters are God-encounters that take place when you're busy with other things or on our way to somewhere else. If we are not prepared we will miss a real blessings, a chance to grow, and not recognizing a divine destiny God has already set in motion. See, Moses was in the backside of the desert chasing sheep for his father-in Law. He was eighty. It's interesting to see his share of excuses during this encounter with God. He had five excuses that he threw in God's face. 1) who am I? God knew that he could not do it his own. God's answer: I WILL BE WITH YOU. 2) Who are you? God knew that he couldn't see past his nose. God's answer: I AM WHO I AM. 3) No one will believe me! We like to pass the buck too when God asks us to do something, right? God's answer: I WILL GIVE YOU AND THEM SIGNS. 4) I am not a good talker. Moses is more concerned about his "I" problem. This was his last ditch effort to avoid going back to Egypt. God's answer: WHO MADE YOUR MOUTH?. 5) I can't do it! Now he was running out of excuses , and he was flat out refusing it. God's answer: I WILL HELP. See, Jesus did not set up a throne in each town and say" This is my place and if you want to see Me come here". He went to the market place, went to the boats of fishermen, homes of ordinary people and went through the town preaching Gospel. Hey, whenever your compassion is activated, STOP. To you what seems to be small encounter may be it's God's encounter and will produce results you never dreamed of. How many times you missed your God designed encounters today, this week, last month and last year? Well, how many?
