Life’s Single Opportunity(Exodus 18:13~27)
He chose capable men from all lsrael and made them leaders of the people, officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens(25).
Hymn #510 Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy(Unified Hymn 276)
God is still fulfilling His Word and answering prayers 24 hours a day. Moreover, He continues to carry out the work of salvation. When you believe this, you begin to see the stream of His plan, and in that stream, you can recognize His works. If that’s so, how can you enter into this stream of the covenant?
1. God's Works is Taking Place Today and Right Now
It’s important to see the present clearly and to know where you stand. Jethro understood Egypt’s condition and recognized both Moses’ role and his own. That became the starting point for God’s Word of creation being fulfilled. Fanny Crosby also discovered God’s plan, grace, and Word. In the same way, the hardships you face can become God’s greatest blessing.
2. Everything is Fulfilled When Events Take Place
When events arose, Jethro chose to save lives. God’s covenant is still being fulfilled 24 hours a day. Answers aren’t found in some distant place but within your present situation. The place you stand(Hardships) is the missions field. The most important thing is to see the stream of the covenant accurately and remain in it.
3. You See the Future Within the Covenant
During the 40 years in Midian, God gave Moses His Word to record. During the wilderness journey, He gave Jethro wisdom. The same God who worked in Moses and Jethro is working in you even now. You who stand here at this very moment must become the main figure who gives life to the posterity.
The life of Moses makes this clear. The knowledge he gained in Pharaoh’s palace for 40 years could not save Egypt. That’s why God prepared him in Midian for another 40 years, during which his entire future was prepared. Afterward, during the 40 years in the wilderness, Moses experienced God’s power with nothing more than a staff in his hand. You must restore this blessing. Through the three courtyards and the Three Day Weekend Age, you must pass down God’s power, the authority of His Throne, His Kingdom, and His works to the posterity.
