Moses is one of the most prominent figures in the Old Testament. While Abraham is called the "Father of the Faithful" and the recipient of God's unconditional covenant of grace to His people, Moses...

One of the lessons I would like to add to this beautiful write up about MOSES is his intercessory ministry. Two occasions stand out vividly. 1. MOSES interceded for Mariam his senior sister despite the fact that she and Aaron spoke against him. (Num.12:9-15) 2. MOSES interceded for Israel when God was very angry with them and wanted to wipe them out and make a new nation through Him. (Ex 32:9-14, 31-33,Ps 106:23) Finally God himself confirmed MOSES to be a great intercessor.(Jer. 15:1)

The life of Moses is packed with lessons that are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. Here are some key takeaways: 1. God Uses the Humble (Exodus 3, Numbers 12:3) Moses started as a proud prince but spent 40 years in the wilderness as a shepherd, where he learned humility. Only then was he ready to lead Israel. Lesson: God prepares us in obscurity before using us for great purposes. 2. Faith Over Fear (Exodus 14) Standing at the Red Sea, Moses had every reason to fear, but he trusted God, and the sea parted. Lesson: Faith moves mountains—or, in Moses’ case, parts seas. 3. Obedience Brings Blessings (Deuteronomy 28) Moses consistently followed God's commands, even when they seemed impossible. Lesson: Obedience to God leads to His blessings and protection. 4. God Can Use Our Weaknesses (Exodus 4:10-12) Moses had a speech impediment, yet God still chose him to speak for a nation. Lesson: Our weaknesses don’t disqualify us—God’s strength is made perfect in them. 5. Leadership Requires Delegation (Exodus 18:13-26) Jethro advised Moses to share the leadership load. Lesson: No one can do it all—wise leaders delegate. 6. Sin Has Consequences (Numbers 20:8-12) Striking the rock instead of speaking to it cost Moses entry into the Promised Land. Lesson: Even leaders must follow God's instructions fully. 7. Intercession Matters (Exodus 32:32) Moses pleaded for Israel when God was ready to destroy them. Lesson: Prayer can change the course of history. 8. Keep Your Eyes on the Ultimate Promise (Hebrews 11:24-27) Moses chose suffering with God's people over the riches of Egypt. Lesson: Earthly pleasures are temporary—eternal rewards are worth the sacrifice. Moses' life is a roadmap for faith, leadership, humility, and perseverance. His example points us to Jesus, the perfect Deliverer.
