FULFILLING THE MISSIONS THAT WE HAVE IN LIFE

1. We all have different missions in life

a. Basic
b. Advanced

2. The mission of Moses

a. His basic mission
i. He was to protect and provide for his family
ii. The roles he played: son-in-law, husband and father
b. But God also gave him an advanced mission
i. To speak to Pharaoh
ii. To lead the people of Israel out of Egypt

PROBLEMS THAT COME AS WE SEEK TO FULFILL THESE MISSIONS

1. Moses faced various problems

2. External problems

a. Pharaoh
b. The people of Israel

3. His own problems

a. Impatient
b. Inexperienced
c. Wrong expectations of God

GOD’S ANSWER TO THESE PROBLEMS

1. He has a plan

“Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land”   Exodus 6:1

2. He will keep His promise

“I have remembered My covenant…”   Exodus 6:5

3. He will show His power

“I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments”   Exodus 6:6

2. To have faith especially amidst problems!
