Meekest person

Numbers 12:3 (AMP) Now the man Moses was very meek (gentle, kind, and humble) or above all the men on the face of the earth.

The bible says Moses was the most meekest person above all the men on the face of the earth. He was not an eloquent man. In fact, he talked God into making Aaron the spokesman. He almost got killed by God when he disobeyed HIM on his return to Egypt by not circumcising his second boy. Moses had many issues as a human. But God had placed him as the leader of God's people. Moses did not go to bible school. Moses did not go through any special training to lead a people who were mostly complainer and grumbler. God trained him by having him tend sheep for forty years.

Yes, he was an educated man. Yes, he had experienced a luxury up bringing. He grew up with the best. After all, he was raised as Pharaoh's own. But at the end, he laid it all down to serve God and he never complained how good it was when he was in Egypt growing up. He never looked back. Yes, he had moments when he had an out burst of anger but after all he was leading two million people. Most of us cannot hold our peace when we are leading two people. There is consequences to our anger. Moses could not enter the promise land. No one can possess righteous anger except God. We are called to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. It is sad and ironic how God's people were slaves but yet they looked back and wished they could return to Egypt. Today is no different, many of God's people slowly return to "Egypt" which represents their old life.

How much knowledge or of the Word you possess does not qualify you to lead God's people. In the physical sense, this is how we think. We think the more bible one knows, the more one is qualified. It is not how much spiritual gifts one possesses or one's ability to hear God's voice. It is not about one's ability to prophecy. In fact, some have more spiritual gifts because they really lack faith. God gives them spiritual gifts to help them believe. It is granted by His Grace and not because they are more spiritual people.

God will not raise a leader because he/she knows a lot of Word or because he/she possess a lot of spiritual gifts. Knowledge can make someone prideful and such a person can use the Word/letter to kill rather than bring life. Spiritual gifts can become corrupted as well when pride is at work. God will not raise a shepherd or a leader because of their speaking talents.

Moses qualified because he was the most meekest person above all the person on the earth. Moses was very gentle. He was very kind. We may not know much. We may not possess much. We may not even speak well. But God can use our weakness to lead HIS people if we possess HIS humility. God is looking for excellent shepherds who have been broken and humbled. HE is looking for people who can help seek the lost. HE is looking for people who can endure the difficult people. HE is looking for people who know HIS LOVE, Voice, and Ways. We must continue to be humbled becoming less and less so that we may not be deceived.

I am not fully there myself but that is my prayer that God makes me a very meek person. God bless you all.
