Manifest vs. Market
“Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water” (Num 20:7-8).
The Bible says that Moses had a unique walk with God. God said Moses was the most humble man on earth and He spoke with him face to face (Num 12:3 and Exodus 3:11).
When Moses met God at the burning bush God said, “Moses, I’m going to perform miracles through your staff.” And He did. He turned his staff into a snake. He brought plagues upon the nation and even parted the Red Sea with his staff. He even struck the rock with his staff to bring forth water.
But later, God called Moses to operate on a new level. Instead of using his workplace tool (his staff) to perform miracles, God
was calling Moses to manifest the miracle through his words. “Speak to the rock Moses!” But Moses, frustrated by the stiff-necked people, struck the rock instead out of anger. Amazingly and in spite of his disobedience, God still allowed Moses to get water out of the rock. God will often work through your anointing, even when you do it in your flesh, just for the sake of others. But beware my friend, it will be at a great cost. Like Moses, you will not enter your promised land and may lose your inheritance.
God is calling us to manifest breakthroughs by operating at times as God did–by speaking to the problem. Be available to the
Holy Spirit at times when God calls you to use your authority in your calling to manifest His power in a situation that needs a
breakthrough.
Friend, God is calling you to manifest His Kingdom through a higher level of relationship with Him. Are you willing?
