“God Looks For a Man to Stand in the Gap” Late Mr. N. Daniel
God
is seeking for a man and for the right man. Moses was most privileged among the
children of
God
is heading for co-operation. God says, "I will do everything. You just
stand in my stead” But we resist Him. Our strength and our intelligence have
been given to us of God. Your body and mind are the gifts of God. God has given
to each of us a particular training. When you look back on your life, you will wonder
why you did not die when so close to death. Many died but you survived. Why you
did not perish with the wicked. God's mystic hand was behind you like it was
behind Moses. Your body, mind and spirit are vast fields to be used for God.
Moses was refusing God's assignment. God often has to go back from us, hanging
His head in sorrow, because we refuse to co-operate with Him. God speaks to
Moses, "I watched over you in your mother's house, I was with you in the
palace and saved your life from danger and from sin. I saved you from Pharaoh
when he wanted to kill you. I have given you a wife and a peace - loving
father-in-law. I have appeared to you in fire. That fire has already prepared
you” But Moses was still not willing. Does not the same situation occur in your
life? There are so many people oppressed by wrong ideas and wrong religion that
gives no relief. God is looking for men and women who have a burden. God says
you are His co-workers. He has been watching you from the cradle so that God's
potentialities, which He has put in you may blossom
and benefit all those around you. God has watched over you and given you
various experiences, that have shaped you to be fit
for His service.
God
is pleading with us to whom He has given every good thing. Your healthy body is
a gift of God. Has God to come and plead and plead as a beggar pleads for food.
We forget what a great God we have and how much power is with Him. Seldom any Christian family wants Him in their home. Unless you see
the Lord's loving hand working mystically throughout your life, you will not be
grateful to Him. His eye is on you though you live with thousands around you.
If Moses had not yielded he would have perished as one of the Midianites.
By
your faith, you must overcome the evil one in your flesh in your youth. God had
to plead and plead with Moses. Six
hundred thousand of people were being persecuted and one young man was
satisfied with his peaceful quiet family life. He had a good wife and two
children to make him happy and a few thousand sheep. He had plenty of meat to
eat and milk to drink and life was quiet and peaceful. He did not know as yet
the power of God to deliver a people that were oppressed. Mark 12:24 "Do
you not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of
God." If you know the scriptures you will know what a mighty God you have.
Let us not keep Jesus at an arm’s length, begging.
