CONTENTED TO DWELL WITH HIM I - Kingdom Administering Series 006
Exodus 2:20-21, KJV
"20 And he said unto his daughters, And where is he? why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread. 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man: and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter."
Contentment is not ordinary when leading is concern. When you're contented, it means you're at ease and satisfied with something. Nothing troubles you about the matter at hand. As in, your spirit or mind isn't raising any red flag. As such, you'll be deemed to have come to the position of being contented or pleased. To be pleased just don't happen. It is either it happens after measuring the facts and weighing sides or from an instilled peace, assurance and confidence from the Holy Ghost to you.
This is homeless Moses! Imagine a prince who's suddenly stripped of his princeship. Moses is just like that. Now in asylum, no one recognizes him let alone esteems him as prince. He is now by himself, waiting to see what'll happen next. Just at that time, the set up of God takes off to work. Ruel's daughters arrive at the well to fetch water. Facing the bullying of rascal shepherds, Moses stands up to secure their rights for them. Upon being asked to dine and abide with them, he agrees with no qualms.
Why would he agree? He first of all had to come to a place of contentment. Whether out of desperateness or from having reasoned that here's an avenue to meet the need of my homelessness, he agrees. Whenever God sends you on an errand to a people either as a Christian or minister of the gospel, contentment is one of the things to look out for in your heart. Contentment will bring sound peace and assurance that herein the Lord wants me lodge or stay. Also, there'll be willingness accepting you where God has sent you. Meanwhile, there won't be any willingness or acceptance to even see your face where God has not put your help. It's possible to have suffered some rejections until one meets with acceptance and settlement eventually. This happened to Isaac until he was eventually tossed to Rehoboth at last (Gen.26:22). Irrespective of the case that unfolds, if you're a man led of God, you'll know where and with whom God wants you to dwell. You'll be able to decipher if God wants you to make a tabernacle with a certain person in a certain place and at a certain time (obviously for a purpose God already sees which you'll reckon with after it might have happened). That contentment will be unusual and very pushy and revealing in you. You'll testify, "I'm contented to dwell here, work here or even go with that man or woman as my spouse" even when you do not really know their history or when there are contrary opinions at first. The trust will just rise and develop both ways.
PRAYER: Guide me in the path I should take. Show me my Rehoboth - where to dwell and take godliness from.
