Do you realize that just like Jacob ran away from his family so Moses ran away from his people? Do you also realize that Jacob returned to his father with so many blessings; wives, children, oxen, and asses, flocks, menservants, and women servants?
But for Moses, his wife, two sons and his rod were all he had to return to his people in Egypt and he finally got to Egypt with just his rod.
In our contemporary days, we will declare Jacob as blessed and Moses as a loser simply because we fail to understand God's agenda for each one of them. We are good at comparing ourselves with others, people say things like "are they not all Christians? Is it not the same God? Why is he not as wealthy as the other brother or sister? Why won't God bless me like he is blessing that sister or brother?"
God intended to establish his covenant with Abraham in his grandson, Jacob who was renamed Israel and so he did. Therefore, Israel was so blessed but Moses was intended by God to be a deliverer, who will bring the children if Israel out of Egypt. So, there was actually no need for Moses to return with so much into Egypt since he needed to bring out that which was already there.
When God deals with us individually, do not think you are not favoured. He will definitely make available all that is needed to make his agenda for your life to come to pass.
Riches and material possessions are no measurement for God's faithfulness. Even in our present situations, God remains faithful! Happy Sunday!
