Your Staff will Sprout - Prophetic Message by Pastor. James Gopi | 06 Feb 2013
There
was a time when the house of Israel was grumbling against the selection
of Aaron for the ministry in the Tabernacle. A test was put then to
identify whether
God really intended Aaron to be part of the ministry with Moses. They
kept 12 dead staff, each representing one tribe of Israel, inside the
Tent of Meeting. Lord declared that the Staff which belong to the man he
chooses will sprout as a sign of his selection.
Likewise
today if you think that it to be the end of all things in your life,
then God is talking to you in particular. You could have left all your
hope but
the Lord wants to give life to your dead situation. As the dead staff
which was kept inside the Tent of Meeting was given a new life by the
Lord, today you will also face a new beginning, a new hope and a new
direction in your life.
The staff belonging to the man I choose will sprout.. Numbers
17:5
The
next day Moses entered the Tent of the Testimony and saw
that Aaron's staff, which represented the house of Levi, had not only
sprouted but had budded, blossomed and produced almonds. Numbers 17:8
The
verse states that the next day when Moses entered the Tent of the
Testimony he witnessed the dead staff not only sprouted but had budded,
blossomed and produced
almonds. Well there are three key things which grabs our attention in
this place.
1.
Source
2.
Time
3.
Darkness
Source :
As we all
know that for a plant to grow, it needs sunlight, water and so on. But
the staff of Aaron had started to sprout the very night where there was
no sunlight and water. It not only sprouted, but bear fruits. Today you
could think that a good language, academic
background, contacts with influential people, money to be the basic
source for you to grow. But the Lord says that He, Himself will be the
source and will do a miracle in your life. As everyone around is
watching, God will make you stand as a witness for this
one. Your life will spring with all goodness with just God being the
source.
Time :
An almond
tree takes nine months to bear fruit but in contrary to this the Staff
of Aaron sprouted in a single night and bear fruits. May be it has been
delayed for years together in your life, but when the right time of the
Lord has come, it is going to happen within
seconds and minutes. Hence, hold until that right time for your
situations to be changed by the Lord. If the Lord can make the staff
sprout within a night, He will also surely bring a change in our life as
well. Therefore let us wait until such time, till
the Lord's hand does the miracle.
Darkness :
Darkness
is called as a time of Testing and a Time to prove our faith in God and
also understand that the darkness is allowed by God. Darkness also
reveals you to great mysteries which is hidden with it as a night sky
reveals the stars in it. Just meditate on the fact
of how planet earth is standing on a void space, this will surely
increase your faith in the Lord. He is our solid concrete in whom we can
put all our trust at all times. Through this time of pain and suffering
in your life, you are going to discover the Glory
of Lord working amidst you. Some might say that darkness is not the
plan of God and nothing good will happen in the darkness, but understand
it is through this times of darkness God wants to shape and mould you
in to his mighty servant.
