A Secret to Leadership!

Numbers 14; Numbers 15; Numbers 16; Mark 3

Scripture

Numbers 14:5 “Then Moses and Aaron fell facedown in front of the whole Israelite assembly gathered there.”


Observation

Did you read Numbers 12:3 “Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.” Moses falling facedown before God doesn’t just happen one time for one person, it happens over and over again.

He was more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth think about that!

When God wanted to destroy all of Israel, Moses fell face down. When Miriam and Aaron rebelled against Moses, Moses ended up crying out to God for God to heal Miriam. When others led a rebellion against Moses the first thing Moses did was fall facedown before God. I think that Moses is a pretty good role model for any leader that is seeking to walk with the Lord.



Application

There is no leadership that is without opposition, but when people oppose us we need to fall facedown before the Lord. Eph. 6:12 “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

Prayer

Heavenly Father, thank you for the stories of Moses and Joshua and the wilderness experience of the children of Israel. Help me be like Moses and Joshua or Caleb and not like those that died in the wilderness! Help me to be bold and yet humble! Give me your message for your people. May lives be changed through its power.
