Moses Bible study - Part 2

Moses ministry
Exodus  2:11-14
Acts 7

When Moses thought the people will understand what he is doing.

People will not understand when we do things on our own feelings, burdens.

Especially people who do wrong they will not understand.

First thing is they don't respect authority,
They will ask who made you ruler ?
Unless it is approved authority, people will not respect.

All good intentions, but the timing.

God waited for the time of promise
Why did Israeli ties waited for 430 years to come out.


God doesn't act because we are in hurry.

Acts 7:17

We should alwayd be aligned to The timing of the Lord.
But as the time of the promise was approaching which God had assured to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt.

Genesis 15:16
16 But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.


God was so patient with Amorites. we can see the waiting nature of God. He does not want any one to persih.


Burning bush.

God appeared to Moses in a burning bush.
Moses was well learned man. Acts 7 says he is an expert in all sciences.
But the moment he saw bush he was amazed.
Moses was the most learned hebrew of all the people in egypt.
When God takes us through learning, He will use it in days to come.
40 years of palace learning
40 years of wilderness learning - nothing was in waste.


God reveals Himself in a unique way to each person.

Visions, dreams.

Fire reveals God's holiness.
God revealed Himself as Fire many times through wilderness journey.

Pillar of fire.
God is consuming fire.

A living bush with fire .
This is what God wants us to be.

We will not be consumed but we will be revealing God's holiness.

God showed the miracles he can do, appeared in bush, spoke face to face, but still he says I cannot.

That's how much he was humbled.

It's not just calling. God expects you to walk the talk.
So He purifies
Zipporah circumcised son.


Pharaoh tried to Kill Moses and all male children.
But It returned back in the form of last plague.

What you sow is what you reap.
Do not be deceived bible verse.

A person character is revealed not in good times and in not so comfortable times
Opposition for Moses

Numbers 16:3 - Korah and company.
Any work you do , do not take it lightly.

Numbers 12: Moses was Humble
Numbers 13,4 - Spies rebellion affected whole nation.

Even great man of God needs advice of brothers.
Jethro advising Moses. (Exodus 18)
