OPENING STATEMENT: God will always use what’s in your hand to bring forth the miraculous. What we think is either insignificant or ordinary, God uses it to bring in the miraculous

Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’ ” ² So the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:1-2 NKJ)

• How often do we search for solutions to our many problems when all the time THE SOLUTION was in our hands? In our hands means, its within our reach, within our grasp, within our surrounding, within our sphere of influence.
• The theme of Jesus’s ministry on earth was: Repent, the Kingdom of God is at hand! What Jesus was saying is simply this: Change your ways, open your minds, I am the solution.

He said, “A rod.” (A Stick).  (Exodus 4:2 NKJ)

• “God I have nothing in my hand…nothing but a stick”
• I am not qualified to do this.
• God will very rarely call the qualified. But He will always qualify the called.
• Your stick is anything in your hand, in your reach, in your surrounding that God can use for the Kingdom. Your stick could be your time, your talents, your education, your resources, your finances, your broken past.
• Even your broken past God can use for His glory. God uses broken people.
• Do you want to know how Moses is remembered in the New Testament?

Moses was taught all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in both speech and action. (Acts 7:22 NLT)

• This is how Moses is remembered: “Powerful in both speech and action”
• Why? A transfer occurred in the life of Moses. A transfer that gave Moses access to the Kingdom of God.

And God said, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground…(Exodus 4:3 NKJ)

• Moses transferred what was in his hand into God’s hands. He took all of his insecurities, his failures and he transferred them into the hands of God.

God made the Egyptians pay for what they have stolen from the Israelites.

²¹ And I will cause the Egyptians to look favorably on you. They will give you gifts when you go so you will not leave empty-handed. ²² Every Israelite woman will ask for articles of silver and gold and fine clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and from the foreign women in their houses. You will dress your sons and daughters with these, stripping the Egyptians of their wealth.” (Exodus 3:21-22 NLT)

Whatever the enemy has stolen from you, God promises you will get it back:

But if he is caught, he must pay back seven times what he stole, even if he has to sell everything in his house. (Proverbs 6:31 NLT)

“I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts,
the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. (Joel 2: 25 NLT)

When you release what’s in your hands endless possibilities comes in the mix.
