I AM... His Grace is available

13 Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?”
14 And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’” 15 Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.
Exodus 3:13-15 (NKJV)

Moses after his conversation with God was given what seem like an herculean task.... Emancipate the nation of Israel from the hand of the Egyptians. Moses was quick to identify his deficiencies, weaknesses, shortcomings, limitations, and inabilities. But Jehovah God assured him that I AM was available to him, His grace was available to him, and that he needed not fear or shrink back for the tasks ahead.

Apostle Paul was also assured of the God's grace sufficiency in his weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). The grace is available to every child of God who will simply trust Him in this year. Therefore take pleasure in your weakness, for in it I AM is available to strengthen you, His grace is available and ever sufficient.

It is enough

Friends,

Some believers refuse to engage in certain types of ministries. They say that they are not "gifted in that way." I confess that I have done the same. I am privileged to be married to a true prophet of the Lord. And through her words, this particular weakness was exposed.

Sisters and brothers, in various seasons of life, we are called to do certain things, and called not to do others. But to say that we lack a particular gift is to say that Christ's gifts are limited, finite, and not quite enough to fulfill the Father's promises.

This simply untrue.

Ephesians 4:7 [NKJV]
But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

The grace of Jesus is sufficient for every calling and every ministry.

Be encouraged, Jose
