Moses Needed Help; His Gift of Administrations Found the Solution

I had to give a ride to someone to the location of her vehicle and the topic of roads came up.  I had mentioned this topic before to another individual … that a particular area in town lacked good planning regarding roads.

The gift of administrations or governments is given by God and those who have it are capable of finding the best talent for the job and then turning them loose to do the job.  In the case of the roads, it was evident that something was lacking.

Interestingly, this discussion had come up before with someone else, and there had been no comment or response back.  In this case,  when the same discussion came up, I was told that there had been a visionary had tried to convince people to think for the future but he had been rejected.

So there had been a solution, but it was rejected.

Moses was a great leader.  He was used to help free the children of Israel from Pharoah.  He went into the mount of God and received the Ten Commandments.   But as great a leader as Moses was, even he recognized when he needed to delegate a task and needed the talents of someone else.

Numbers 10:29 And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Raguel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel.

30 And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

31 And he said, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou mayest be to us instead of eyes.

32 And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what goodness the Lord shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

 

If the last few years have shown us anything, it has revealed how quickly something can be destroyed if the wrong people are in charge.  Ideally, people who have been given the gift of administration make it into leadership positions and are able to function according to their God-given wisdom and talents. A heap of good that it took many generations to create can be destroyed quickly by the wrong people in charge.  We need to pray that God will bring the right people to fill the places that need to be filled in the days ahead.

Consistency and Single-Mindedness

James 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

 

The best results in anything is when there is consistency and single-mindedness of purpose. There can be situations where two objectives are working against each other and the question is, will this produce the best results?

The anti-semitism of the Nazis was decried as evil in WWII. A war was fought to defeat Nazism. And like the Flood at the time of Noah, which cleansed the earth of overwhelming evil for a season, Nazism was removed from public view for a while, only to resurface. There are anti-Jewish riots on college campuses.

The church is sending in evangelists to address that situation because it is only with a change of heart through the new birth that there can be real change.

And those efforts are good and necessary.

At the same time, money is being sent to Ukraine to fund neo-Nazis. Putin/Russia has said that neo-Nazism is an element of this war.  Nazi symbols have been found.

This is not something the fake news will talk about, but there is a lot they don’t talk about, like the stolen 2020 election. So silence on the part of the fake news should come as no surprise.

Can the best results be expected when there is a dichotomy between the church standing against anti-semitism through evangelism, but not standing against the funding of Ukraine and the neo-Nazism and corruption there?

Added to that is the consideration that at a national level, if there is a sowing into neo-Nazism by backing the war in Ukraine, should we be surprised at an increase of anti-Semitism on our college campuses?  If we preach and believe in sowing and reaping, then we have to look at how it might be operating at a national level.

Along the same lines, there are efforts for evangelism at the southern border.  That is good.  But when those of the illegal invasion are converted, they need to go back to the nation they came from.  Conversion into the kingdom of God does not change the status of illegal immigration.  And if you allow 22 million illegals, (which is the last figure I read or heard somewhere), into the nation to vote illegally, and overturn the Constitution, then you permit the overturn of religious freedom.  That has the domino effect of working against or stopping the spreading of the gospel, at least in the free flow measure it has occurred under the protection of the Bill of Rights.

Daniel 2:34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

 

In the vision Daniel interpreted, of which the above scripture is only a small part, the vision dealt with physical kingdoms and empires, not spiritual only. The message may have been given in spiritual symbols, but those symbols represented concrete physical kingdoms.

We cannot spiritually deal with Nazism though gospel evangelism, while funding Neo-Nazis in the Ukraine.

We cannot spiritually deal with the illegal invasion at the border only through evangelism, without insisting that those who are illegal return home and attempt to come back through a legal process if they so desire. To flood the nation with illegals who will be permitted to vote due to lax voting laws and rampant election theft is to allow the destruction of religious freedom.

James 3:11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
