How does God's call to Moses in Exodus 3:10 inspire your own mission? The Verse at the Heart of Our Mission “Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.” (Exodus 3:10) What God Reveals in the Call to Moses • God takes the initiative—“I am sending you.” • The command is clear—“Go!” • The assignment is specific—“to Pharaoh.” • The purpose is redemptive—“to bring My people out.” • The authority rests in His own name and presence (Exodus 3:14). Parallels Between Moses’ Task and Ours • Deliverance from bondage – Israel’s slavery mirrors the world’s slavery to sin (John 8:34). • Confronting oppressive powers – Pharaoh then; spiritual strongholds now (Ephesians 6:12). • Acting as God’s representative – Moses before Pharaoh; believers as Christ’s ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). • Dependence on divine presence – “I will be with you” (Exodus 3:12) echoes “I am with you always” (Matthew 28:20). Encouragements for My Mission Today • God chooses ordinary people (Exodus 3:1; 4:10). • He equips the called (Exodus 4:2–9; Luke 24:49). • He remains patient with weakness (Exodus 4:13–14). • He promises His presence (Exodus 3:12; John 20:21). • He guarantees ultimate victory (Exodus 14:13–14; Romans 8:37). Practical Steps to Walk in the Call 1. Stay close to the burning-bush presence – Set aside daily time to seek God’s voice (Psalm 27:8). 2. Listen for specific assignments – Be alert to people or situations God highlights (Acts 8:29). 3. Speak God’s words, not your own – Share Scripture faithfully (Jeremiah 1:7). 4. Confront bondage with divine authority – Pray, proclaim, and act against injustice, addiction, deception. 5. Trust the “I AM” rather than your limitations – Let His sufficiency eclipse self-doubt (2 Corinthians 3:5). 6. Expect signs of God’s power – Watch for changed lives, open doors, answered prayer (Mark 16:20). 7. Keep moving forward even when opposed – Persevere like Moses before repeated refusals (Exodus 5–11). Living Sent Each Day Exodus 3:10 propels believers beyond comfort into God-appointed arenas of liberation. As Moses went to Pharaoh, so we go into workplaces, neighborhoods, and nations, carrying the message of the cross and the power of the risen Christ. “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8) becomes the steady heartbeat of a life on mission. |
