- The Moses Model

Presentation to Inspire Conference Kampala by Laban Jjumba, Coordinator for East Africa,

Intercessors for Africa5th. July, 2013

Joshua & Caleb

•They made it to the Promised Land because they believed the promises of God

•We too will make it to the land that God has promised us if we will believe the promise

•Believe the Promise!

God’s Promise Today:

Isaiah 2:2-3 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it (verse 2).


Isaiah 2:2-3 Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.


•This promise has a primary fulfillment in Israel and Jerusalem;

•But it has an eternal and universal fulfillment in the Body of Christ.

What is Zion?Hebrews 12:22-24 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first born who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, . . .

What is Zion?Hebrews 12:22-24 . . . to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.

Models of God’s Rule

in Human Systems•The Model of Joseph in Egypt;

•The Model of Daniel in Babylon;

•The Model of David in Israel;

•The Model of Esther in Persia;

•The Model of Moses in Egypt.

The Moses Model

•Moses lived three “lives”

•His life in Egypt for 40 years,

•His life in Midian for 40 years,

•His life delivering the Hebrews for a further 40 years.

Moses in Egypt•Moses’ birth and growth

(Acts 7:17-22)

•Born to fulfill destiny (verse 20) “At this time Moses was born . . .”

•Received the best Egyptian education (verse 22) “He was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians . . .”

Moses in Egypt•Moses’ career in Egypt (verse 22)

He was mighty in word and deed.

•Moses’ education and career in Egypt was to equip him for his future leadership of the Hebrews.

•Nevertheless, if he died at 40, we would have made powerful speeches at his burial!

Moses in Egypt•The Searching Question:

•“If Moses died at 40, would he have fulfilled God’s calling upon his life? Would he have fulfilled the reason why God created him?

•No!

•If you died now (God forbid) . . .

Moses in Midian

•The Midian Transition: Hebrews 11:24-27 By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, . . .

Moses in Midian•The Midian Transition:

Hebrews 11:24-27 . . . esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.

Moses in Midian•The Midian Transition is a spiritual

transition. It is to do our priorities and our values as believers. Have we fully surrendered to God?

•We too must undertake the Midian Transition!

•Have you yet undertaken the Midian Transition?

Moses in Midian•Moses’ first divine encounter on

arrival in Midian, when he was at crossroads. He sat at the well . . .

•In a single divine encounter God provided him with a home, a job and a wife!

•May the Lord bless us with such divine encounters as we surrender to Him!

Moses in Midian• In Midian Moses learnt to wait on

God in prayer and meditation on His word. As a shepherd he had time.

•In Egypt he had been too busy! He had been busy enjoying success.

• May the Lord help us to change our Egyptian environment. To make time to wait on God. To study the Bible & pray!

Moses in Midian• In Midian Moses got married and

raised a family. Wife: Zipporah; Sons: Gershom and Eliezer Ex 18:2-4

•In Midian he learnt shepherding. He needed this to lead people.

•In Midian Moses reached the peak of His walk with God. He got to the peak of the Mountain of God.

Moses in Midian•With Moses at 80, God had at last

completed his foundational training. God was now ready to deploy him.

•For Joseph it was 30 years.

•For David it was also 30 years.

•Again if Moses died at 80, we would have made great speeches at his burial: His education, career, family, and his powerful walk with God!

Moses in Midian•The Searching Question:

•“If Moses died at 80, would he have fulfilled God’s calling upon his life? Would he have fulfilled the reason why God created him?”

•No!

•If you died now (God forbid) . . .

Moses in Midian•The Transition at God’s Mountain:

•“Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” (Exodus 3:10)

•This was Moses’ finest hour. All the education and career training of the previous 80 years was designed for this very hour.

Moses in Midian•Your personal transition at God’s

Mountain:

•God has a reason why you are hearing this word. He is calling you to His Mountain to wait on Him concerning your purpose in life.

•Give God time in the next few months. It may be time to reposition your life and career.

Moses Back to Egypt

•He battles the wickedness of Pharaoh and the Egyptian system to release the Hebrews from bondage.

•You too are called as a deliverer!

•All nature is waiting for the sons of God to deliver it from the bondage of corruption. Uganda & Africa are waiting! (Romans 8:19-21)

The Call of God on Your Life at this

TimeFor the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (Romans 8:19-21)

The Rod of Moses vs

The Rod of GodWhat was Moses’ rod? His shepherd’s stick to defend and shepherd his sheep.

The tool of your trade whose use you have mastered. You are now highly skilled in its use.

For David it was the sling, and then the harp.

The Rod of Moses vs

The Rod of God• God wants you to throw it down!

Release it and surrender it to Him. Then He will begin to use it to perform wonders.

• Un-surrendered, it is a serpent that could kill, both you and other people.

• Surrendered, it now becomes God’s rod in your hand. It will perform wonders!

God BlessingsAs You Seek God

to Reposition Your Life and Career

Amen & Amen!
