A STAMMERER MADE PROPHET - Your Baby Series 009
Exodus 4:10-12, KJV
"10 And Moses said unto the LORD, O my LORD, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue. 11 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say."
May I however encourage someone there? Yesterday as I taught on series 008, I heard, "Moses is a stammerer but it didn't stop his destiny."
God wants to bring encouragement to some other women or parents who have noticed some health disorder or defects in their kids and till hitherto same has not been amended.
What I heard is that, "it won't affect their destiny in any way negative." As far as we all know, that's all that matters. The destiny of a man that is lived and fulfilled makes him attractive to all and sundry. The 'specialness' Moses' mother sees in him at the very beginning of his life is what he lived up to at day's end. As a matter of fact, that destiny is what God seeks to protect when He gives Moses an adopting mother in Pharaoh's daughter. That's the long road God could walk to ensure that the destiny of your child is untampered with. Moses being a prophet swallows his being a stammerer. Let it be told on the mountains, we obviously identify with Moses being a prophet than being a stammerer. That is what will happen to that child whose difficulty seems to be apparent for now. Once the oil lands on him, he'll be taken over to do what he couldn't have done ordinarily. Oil is not only for those called or ordained into ministry. A scientist needs the oil of his field to excel as one. There is oil or grace for every office or field God is calling your child to. If he were to be a world renown painter but with a challenge in the arm, you'd be shocked that such challenge would be bypassed until he becomes that same artist in a way people would wonder how he paints knowing the difficulty at hand. How many imagine Nick Vujicic would turn out who he is currently? A Serbian born Australian -American evangelist and motivational speaker, having tetramelia syndrome, a disorder characterized by the absence of arms and legs. Yet, he has come to take life by its horn. He does things for himself as if he has no missing parts. Instead of being depressed, he's the motivator. He found himself and success, fame and wealth have now followed him. He's happily married to a complete woman and also with kids of his own. What else could a man have asked for?
Look, God will take him or her over so that the testimony that'll come of him or her would be, "this is he that was thought could never be in his sixth month (in the field where God would have him or her used). Yet, he's there and has colonized it.
People, including yourself might have thought what can this one do? You might have been haunted with hopelessness but only with some ray of light encouraging. God is saying, "I Who made the mouth shall take over his/her mouth or that part that needs a taking over." God asked Moses when He was about sending him, "who created the human mouth?" God was with Moses' mouth. Though he eventually bargained until God gave him Aaron (for a mouthpiece), yet it is whatsoever he tells Aaron he (Aaron) reemphasizes. In the same way, God will glorify Himself in and through that human weakness, frailty and defect of your child. God told Paul in II Corinthians 12:9 "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness." As such, Paul glories gladly in his infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon him. I see same as a way out. God wants to cause a better wonder by working through such weakness inherent in your child's earthen vessel to bring about His glory. Relax and let God take all the glory. It's a journey to destination of wonders. Nothing changes still in his or her preordained destiny. When God's fire fell on Elijah's sacrifice on Mount Carmel, it consumed everything at sight including the stubborn impediments: the stones and the water. The fire leaked up the water instead of being stopped by it. Imagine that! Your child by God's outstretched arm on him will swallow up his defects. It won't show again therefore. The potency of your child's calling will ingest, absorb and assimilate to nothingness the defects that should have hindered him in fulfilling his destiny. In same way fire consumes with rage out of sight, his grace shall consume and overpower all his perceived human weaknesses. As such, only strength, grace and his prowess shall be revealed and heralded.
PRAYER: Lord, let your strength, the grace of the office or field you're calling my child into overwhelm and swallow any infirmity or impediment that can restrict him.
