Tools for Divine Assignment

Exodus: 2:1-25

Genesis: 37:1-36

1 Samuel:16-23

The existence of man is spiritual.

Man existed before time in spirit form as a matter of fact the spirit of man is a portion and an aspect of God's existence.

Man who is essentially a portion of God’s spirit delegated upon the face of the earth by God to carry out an achievement on behalf of God.

Man's assignment upon the face of the earth is not his own but the very work of God delegated to man.

In order for there to be an effective execution of God's assignment on the earth man who is basically God's delegate has got to come on the earth in a suit called the body.

The body of man is not the existence of Man but rather it’s the unique suit that man wears to carry out God's assignment.

This suit (man's body) endures from birth to death.
The work of man upon the earth belongs to God.

Man comes into the equation of God's work upon the earth as a delegate.

And upon completion of the assignment man has to return back to God with an account of how he has carried out the assignment God entrusted to him upon the face of the earth.

God delegated apart of himself and form in order for mankind to carry out an assignment for God upon the face of the earth.
However the assignment of God by man can only be carried out after man has been equipped with the essential tools designed specifically for the assignment.

These tools are best found in the various situations and circumstances that God allows as to endure.

One of the most crucial characteristic of the situation and circumstance that God uses to equip mankind with the tools for divine assignment is humility.

Humility is the most beautiful sight in the eyes of God even though it can appear as a scene of embarrassment in the sight of men.

Humility is situation for revelation.

In humility God appears unto as and calls us to have companionship with him so that we can be familiar with his assignment delegated unto us by him.

Moses was born to carry out an assignment for God in regards to delivering the people of God.

However fort Forty years of his life Moses was void of the tools to carry out the divine assignment of his life.

In fact when he attempted to deliver the people of God for the first time Moses ended up killing a man and burying the man.

This happened because he did not have the tools to carry out the divine assignment of his life.
Hence God had to create for Moses a situation of humility for Forty years so that he can receive the tools for divine assignment.

For forty years Moses lived at the back of the desert of mouth Sinai working as Shepherd after running from Egypt for fear of murder charges.

Raised as prince of Egypt for forty years but now he runs out of Egypt for fear of murder charges and dwells at the back of mountain Sinai for forty years as a Shepherd with no material possessions to call his own except for his robe, walking stick and sandals.

At the back of mountain Sinai he has to work as a Shepherd for the priest of Jethro who is also his father in-law.

Moses does not have to work as a Shepherd but he needs to submit himself to a humble situation of being Shepherd so that he can get the necessary tools for his divine assignment upon the earth.

The tools Moses needed to be fully fit for his divine assignment were only to be found in the humble situation of him being a Shepherd.

In Egypt Moses always survived by giving instruction and he did that for forty years.

After escaping Egypt now Moses only has to survive for Forty years by receiving instruction from someone whose life experience is far below the experience of Moses.

This was essential because Moses had to understand that his survival depended on obeying instructions from someone else in order for him to be able to vitally carry out his Divine assignment upon the face of the earth.

If Joseph is not in constant dialogue and conversation with God then his brothers will have no reason to hate him.

However the hatred Joseph's brother exude against him only but pushes him further into the promise of God upon his life.

After being sold by his brothers Joseph finds himself in Potiphar’s household doing a business that he does not have to do but he needs to do what he ought in Potiphar's house because there is the tools he needs to be facilitated in order to be able to carry out his divine assignment.

From Potiphar's house Joseph finds himself in prison.

Joseph really does not need to be in prison but he has got to be there because that is the place where he ought to be equipped with the tools to carry out his assignment.

Joseph is a prime minister of Egypt to carry out an assignment on behalf of God.

God will have you go so low to equip you with tools that you need to carry out his assignment upon the face of the earth.

On the flip side God will take you so high in order to carry out an assignment for him upon the face of the earth.
Some of the situations God take us through may not be glamorous but humiliating;

If not humbling but in those situations are the necessary tools we need to be equipped with so as to be successful at the assignment God has trusted with us upon the face of the earth.

The longer you spend in that place of humility the more tools you get for the effective work of the assignment rendered unto you for a specific time and a season.

In order to take you high God will have to take you so low.

And once you are not willing to submit to God in the lower estates of life then God cannot be at a place to exalt you far than you can ever imagine and fathom.

David had just been anointed by prophet Samuel as God's new king for the people of Israel but he does not head straight to the palace but rather he goes back to Shepherd his father's sheep.

And while tending to his father's sheep God is equipping him with the necessary tools needed for his divine assignment upon the face of the earth.
