*2 Chronicles 16:9a* - “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of *those whose heart is loyal to Him*.”

 

*3 cardinal things that flow out of an encounter with God*


1. Salvation of the souls of men


2. Worship of God and the desire to bring glory to His name

3. Expansion of God’s Kingdom evidenced by establishment of His will in individuals, in ministry and the marketplace.

 

1. *Expectations and Godly encounters* (*Exodus 3:3-5* - “So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” 4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” 5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground”)
.

 

Father, help me to wait expectantly for an encounter with You and Your word. Even in the wilderness, let me have a compelling experience of Your divine presence and glory IJN.

 

2. *Supernatural discernment of a man’s true spiritual state* (*Exodus 3:6b* - “At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.”)

*Isaiah 6:1-5* - “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.” 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 “*Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips*, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”

 

Father, bring me to the awareness of your righteousness and holiness as I seek You. I receive the gift of righteousness that was purchased for me through the blood of Jesus IJN.

 

 

3. *Kingdom mandate* (*Exodus 3:7-10* - “The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. 8 *So I have come down* to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and *to bring them up* out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 *So now, go.* I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.)


 

Father, I receive the grace to carry out the assignment you have committed to me. Grant me speed and acceleration of purpose and destiny as I obey Your commands IJN.

 

4. *Divine access* (*Exodus 3:10* - “So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt”) *Psalm 24:7* - “Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!”

 

Father, you have commissioned me to go into the world, I receive divine access as I go forth to represent You. Let doors You have opened remain opened and the doors You have shut remain shut IJN.

 

5. *Unremitting boldness* (*Exodus 3:12* - “And God said, “*I will be with you*. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain”)

 

Father, as You have promised that Your presence will surely be with me always, I receive the grace to be strong in the You and in the power of Your might. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I declare I will fear no evil: for Your Presence is with me IJN.

 

6. *Strategic connections* (*Exodus 3:18* - “*The elders of Israel will listen to you*. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God”)

 

Father, as I walk in Your will and Your way, bring me into strategic connections that will honour and bring glory to You as I carry out the assignment You have given me IJN.

 

7. *Unflinching faith for exploits* (*Exodus 3:20* - “So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go”)

 

Father, Your word declares that those who know their God shall be strong and do exploits. I receive the God kind of faith that persists until it overcome all obstacles and dominates adversaries IJN.

 

8. *Abounding grace* (*Exodus 3:21* - “And I will make the Egyptians favourably disposed toward this people, so that when you leave you will not go empty-handed”)

 

Father, make all grace abound towards that I may *always* have complete sufficiency in everything and have an abundance for every good work and act of charity.
