FAITH CAPSULE: Know what you carry to know the calling of God over you.

Exodus 4

Do you know yourself in the Lord? 
If you know yourself in 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.
One that does know self before God shall not understand the move of God. 
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 the calling of God in life. 
Do you know what the Lord deposits in you?
When God wants to raise a giant that will glorify His name, there will be no excuse for no one that does not know self in Him. 
Lack of understanding is always an attempt to deny the answering to the calling of God.
Moses does not know himself in the Lord at the time of the calling over his life.
God located Moses to point out what he carries to answer His calling.
God will call no one for an assignment without empowering such.
Exodus 4:2-4 records the calling of Moses, “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 not able 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 showed 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) 
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 live life for God to excel for His glory.

Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled not to be a failure before God.
