FAITH CAPSULE: When you are able to identify with what you carry then your journey is set for God’s glory.

Exodus 4

What do you carry that is meant to set you up for your divine assignment in life? The bible makes us to realize that we are the temple of God stating, “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16) As a child of God, you are a temple of God, meaning a house of God. In your house, what do you carry that is meant to set you up and establish you on your journey of life for the glory of God? Think of it, it does not matter who you are; it does not matter where you are but it is important that you know you are not empty. However, when you are able to identify with what you carry then your journey is set for God’s glory.
The bible recorded about certain widow stating, “A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves. So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”” (2Kings 4:1-2) Eventually, it was a jar of oil in the house which the widow counted as nothing that brought her out of nothing into abundance. Does your story sounds like one with challenges and does not know that your solution is within you? The widow was delivered from mockery to miracle when her challenges were resolved through a jar of oil which she mistook as nothing.
Besides what is in the house, what you have in your hand and not know about it might be your steering to the center of your divine assignment. God knew what was in Moses hand when He placed a call on Moses. Moses, by not knowing what was in his hand attempted to reject the calling of God. God called Moses, “Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’”(Exodus 4:1) God identified what was in Moses’ hand by calling Moses’ attention to it with a question, “So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”(Exodus 4:3) In the hand of Moses, ordinary rod served as a vessel of transformation. God will use you for His attainment if you listen and allow Him to identify what’s in your hand.

Prayer for today: Ask God to call your attention to what you carry for Him to use you.
