Ministry of People (Part 2)

Learning more and more about my ministry of people, I just grew to understand that people who don't experience God will never have that maturity to accept tough hits from the evil one. Moses had to come out of his comfort zone to do something he did not want to do; to lead people. I think I fully understand the struggles he had and some reasons why he did not want to lead the Israelites. Then were not even supportive or appreciative of what he did for them.

Moses was already a free man, he had a comfortable life, with his family and all. But God had to come in and challenge Moses to another level of faith in God. God had great plans for Moses, but the people Moses was leading was just not understanding how much God loves them. All they did was complain and complain, why isn't there food, why do we only have manna, why is there no water. They just kept complaining about their physical needs.

I reckon people have not changed over the few thousand years. People are still caught up with their physical needs and wants. That is why it seems like its so hard to lead and deal with people, trying to meet their needs, comfort them, counsel them, teach them and sometimes even trying to catch them when they are falling.

This is an on going process of us Christians maturing. Moses out of his frustration from leading the people, he failed to trust God enough to honor Him as Holy (Nu 20:12). He was also rejected from the promise land.

I really don't know how come people are just refusing to grow up in their maturity of their faith. All they keep asking if for more milk, more milk. Seem like other leaders of the bible faced the same problem. So I will press on with my growing faith in God.

Heb 5:11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. 6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God

God will be my guide, shelter and pillar of strength. More importantly, my grace and love and patience for the people. I NEED YOU GOD!
