FAITH CAPSULE: Get to know yourself in the Lord.

Exodus 4

Do you know yourself in the Lord? 
If you know yourself the Lord, you will know what the Lord has deposited in you. Knowing yourself in the Lord will determine how far you go in answering the calling of God over your life. 
Get to know yourself in the Lord. 
Psalm 49:20 states, “A man who is in honor yet does not understand is like the beasts that perish.” The lack of understanding denies answering to the calling of God in life. 
Do you know what the Lord deposits in you? Give yourself to God to know yourself in Him. 
When it was time for God to raise a giant among the giants that glorify His name, there will be no excuse for no one that does not know him or herself from answering to the calling of God.
Truly, confusion or lack of understanding is always with an attempt to deny the answering to the calling of God.
Moses is an example of one that does not know himself in the Lord.
When Moses escaped from Egypt because he killed an Egyptian in favor of an Israelite, God located him for his calling to point out what he does not know.
God will call no one for an assignment without empowering man.
At the time He called Moses, Moses does not know himself. 
Exodus 4:2-4 records, “So the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” 
He said, “A rod.” 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. 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),”   Moses had a rod and not know himself in the Lord to see the rod as a power of God he carries.
Get to know yourself in the Lord!
A rod of God in hand is the power of God at hand. 
Moses did not know himself in the Lord for him to engage the assignment until the Lord shows Him.
Today, know that the calling of God does have a specific fitting rod in your hand.  
Unlike the twelve disciples of Jesus, Apostle Paul did not walk with Jesus on the face of the earth, but he knew himself in the Lord more than any of the twelve disciples of Jesus. Paul testifies, “But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain, but I labored more abundantly than they all, yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” (1 Corinthians 15:10) 
Just like Paul, know who you are in the grace of God, not to live a wasted life but live in the center of the assignment of God over your life.
Get to know yourself in the Lord and take off in the direction of your calling.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace of God not be in vain over you.
