Why is it important to share God's signs, as Moses did in Exodus 4:28? Starting with the Text “Then Moses told Aaron everything the LORD had sent him to say, and all the signs He had commanded him to perform.” Why Moses’ Example Matters Today • Moses did not keep God’s wonders to himself; he immediately shared them with Aaron. • The verse underscores a pattern repeated throughout Scripture: when God reveals His power, His people testify (see Psalm 105:1–2; Acts 4:20). • The signs were literal actions—staff to serpent, hand made leprous and healed, water to blood—meant to authenticate God’s message. They still speak to us about His reality and reliability. Sharing God’s Signs Honors His Command • God’s instructions to Moses included both the message and the signs; withholding either would be partial obedience (Exodus 4:15–17). • Jesus later affirms this principle: “Go and tell…” (Mark 5:19). • Testimony is not optional; it is woven into every commission God gives. Sharing Builds Faith in Others • Israel’s elders “believed” after hearing and seeing the signs (Exodus 4:29–31). • Personal stories of God’s work invite listeners to trust Him for themselves (John 20:30–31). • Faith often ignites through eyewitness accounts (Romans 10:17). Sharing Glorifies God, Not Ourselves • Moses’ signs pointed entirely to the LORD; any spotlight on the messenger faded beneath the brilliance of the Miracle-Worker (Psalm 115:1). • When we relay God’s interventions, we redirect praise back to Him (1 Peter 2:9). Sharing Strengthens the Teller • Retelling what God has done cements it in our memory (Psalm 103:2). • Speaking out loud reinforces conviction, just as confessing Christ fortifies salvation’s assurance (Romans 10:9–10). • Paul echoes this: “We believe; therefore we speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13). Sharing Fuels the Ongoing Mission • Each generation hears, believes, and then passes on the works of God (Psalm 78:4–7). • The early church multiplied as eyewitnesses kept proclaiming signs and resurrection power (Acts 22:15; 26:16). • Our testimony links past miracles to present listeners, preparing hearts for God’s next move. Practical Ways to Share God’s Signs Today • Tell family and friends specific answers to prayer—big and small. • Keep a written record of God’s interventions; read them aloud in gatherings. • Integrate Scripture when recounting events, tying personal experience to God’s Word. • Use modern platforms—letters, calls, social media—to broadcast His deeds while keeping the focus on Him. • Encourage those in crisis by reminding them of proven faithfulness you have seen and lived. A Closing Thought Moses’ simple act of recounting God’s signs set an entire nation on the path to deliverance. Every time we echo God’s wonders, we step into that same stream of obedience, faith-building, and glory to the One who still works wonders today. |
