When God wanted to bring His people out of Egypt, Pharaoh said, ‘No!’ God used Moses until Pharaoh said, ‘Yes!’ God uses men. But only men and women willing to yield to His authority. I am not a big man with a little God – I am a little man with a big God! I may be a little David with a Goliath of a problem, but with my God I can kill him!
Take the land! Possess the promises of God. So many believers are without power because they don’t understand the promises and power of God to those who believe. Don’t just take ‘spiritual’ blessings – take the land, possess what you need in the material realm as well. When Israel went in, it meant war, a spiritual fight, but it also meant that they could have the milk and the honey, all their material needs supplied.
The greatest command is to evangelise! God pours out His Spirit for a reason – so that we can evangelise. Every revival has died out when they stopped evangelising. Possess the land! Preach the Gospel, heal the sick!
The Divine Mandate: Authority, Possession, and Evangelism
1. Divine Authority: Little Man, Big God
When God initiated the Exodus from Egypt, the conflict wasn't between Moses and Pharaoh – it was a demonstration of God’s sovereignty over earthly resistance. This narrative teaches a fundamental principle of faith: God works through yielded vessels.
The David vs. Goliath Principle: Spiritual victory is not determined by the size of the "giant" (the problem), but by the magnitude of the God backing the believer.
Submission as Power: To be used by God, one must yield to His authority. True power is found in being a "little man with a big God."
2. Possessing the Land: Material and Spiritual Provision
A common misconception in modern theology is that God’s promises are strictly "spiritual" or "internal." However, the biblical precedent set by Israel’s entry into Canaan suggests a holistic inheritance.
"I am not a big man with a little God; I am a little man with a big God!" Success in the Christian life is defined by yielding to divine authority to manifest both spiritual and material victories through active evangelism.
