A Small word about decreasing of flesh

 

 

When Moses started to understand his individual ministry, he tried to deliver people of Israel from slavery of Egyptians with power of his own flesh and killed one Egyptian. Many Christians begin to serve God with their own power. And doing that, they will get tired and be driven finally to dry wilderness  like happened to Moses. In the wilderness God sharpened and provided Moses to his future ministry.



God often trains us a same way hidden from eyes of people, so that we would not destroy that calling which God has given us. But after ground work of many years, God called Moses to His work. Reactions, feelings and way of thinking of Moses was completely changed. A man, who was full of his own power and enthusiasm of his flesh before, acted now an opposite way. Moses answered to God: "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". When Moses met the Holy God front of bush in flames, he need to confront his own sinfulness and smallness comparing Godīs righteousness, holiness, love and truth. When a person confronts God like this, he doesn't show his own muscles anymore and he discover his own wisdom for vanity. God tended just to that point: Moses came powerless and small front of Him. From now on in the life of Moses will happen appearing of miracles and works of God , instead of power of human work or flesh. Person who trust his/her self cannot surrender to God.



We need confront Godīs holiness, righteousness, love and truth, through those things Yeshua the Messiah starts to grow in our hearts. Then we start to less and God can do His work through us. Yeshua himself told us, that believer will bear and produce a lot of fruits so that God will may be glorified. Since God need to be glorified, we need to decrease. Weakness and smallness is good for our ministry, because then living God can appear through our life. God can't appear through people who are strong in themselves. So let Yeshua make you small, so the world would see Mighty God.
