Sharing The Burden of Leadership

Today’s Feast March 30, 2015 – Exodus 18 Sharing The Burden of Leadership “14 I am not able to bear all these people alone, because the burden is too heavy for me.“ Numbers 11:14, New King James Version (NKJV). Return to Admenu – Admenu’s Alternate Site Dear Saints, Thank you for joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in Exodus Chapter 18; “Jethro brings to Moses his wife and two sons. (1-6) Moses entertains Jethro. (7-12) Jethro's counsel to Moses. (13-27)“ - Matthew Henry Concise. In today's Feast we see no matter what gifts the Holy Spirit blesses you with, or how God uses you, it would be good to imitate Moses here; “8 And Moses told his father-in-law all that the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians for Israel's sake, all the hardship that had come upon them on the way, and how the Lord had delivered them.” Exodus 18:8, NKJV. When God moves concerning anything be sure to give him the glory. Our God is great and greatly to be praised. The next thing I see here is learn how to delegate. Moses’ father in law, wise old gentleman that he is sees Mo, taking the responsibility for everything, he is working himself into exhaustion; “14 So when Moses' father-in-law saw all that he did for the people, he said, "What is this thing that you are doing for the people? Why do you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?"” Exodus 18:14 NKJV. So he says to Mo; Slow down you’ll have a ministry as long as God needs you. If you don’t delegate some of the work though you may not keep your sanity as long as God needs you. So as we see here Moses believes his dad in law and delegates some of the responsibilities that came with his ministry; “25 And Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people: rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.‘ Exodus 18:25 NKJV. So as for you and I let’s keep the first thing first, salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus. Pace yourself because God doesn’t want anyone to perish; “7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” Ephesians 1:7 NKJV.
