God
wants to take the natural things in your life and make them supernaturally
blessed. He does this by
asking you to give Him what you already have in the natural, and He will do the
supernatural.
That
is why the Lord told Moses to cast his rod on the ground. And when Moses cast
his rod on the ground, which represents him giving the rod to the Lord, that
same rod became the rod of God. With that rod, the Red Sea was opened (see
Exodus 14:16). And when that rod was used to hit a rock, water flowed out of the
rock (see Exodus 17:5–6). It was no longer a natural rod, but the supernatural
rod of God!
But
why did the rod become a serpent when Moses cast it to the ground?
Moses
never realized that there was a “snake” in his rod. You see, because of the
fall of man, there is a touch of the curse—a snake—in every natural thing,
including your career, natural strength, talents and ministry.
So
how do you deal with the “snake” that is in all the natural things in your
life?
First,
cast it to the Lord. Then, do what the Lord told Moses next: “Reach out your
hand and take it by the tail” (Exodus 4:4).
Now,
it could be fatal to take a snake by its tail because it can easily turn its
head around and bite you. So why did God say that?
When
you take it by the tail, God will take the head! He wants you to let Him handle
the head, and not grab it or hold on to it tightly in fear or self-effort. That
is how you see your career, strength, talents and ministry supernaturally
blessed.
Beloved,
there is a snake, a touch of the curse, in everything in the natural. But give
what is natural to the Lord and see the touch of the curse replaced with the
supernatural touch of God!
