October Teaching Series: Men of God in the Holy Bible
TODAY’S TOPIC: MOSES – CALLED TO LEAD GOD’S PEOPLE
Scripture: Exodus 3:10–12 (KJV)
Verse 10: “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.”
Verse 11: “And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?”
Verse 12: “And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.”

TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL: CALLED FOR A GREATER PURPOSE
Throughout the Holy Bible, we discover that God often chooses ordinary individuals to accomplish extraordinary assignments. Moses was one of those individuals.
When God called Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egyptian bondage, Moses questioned his own ability. His response, “Who am I?” reflected feelings of inadequacy and uncertainty about the enormous responsibility before him.
However, God did not respond by listing Moses’ qualifications, accomplishments, or personal strengths. Instead, God offered a powerful promise: “Certainly I will be with thee.”
This reminds us that when God calls us to fulfill an assignment, He does not expect us to accomplish it through our own strength. His presence, guidance, and power equip us for the journey.
Moses would face Pharaoh, confront opposition, and lead an entire nation toward freedom. Although the journey would not be easy, God’s promise remained steadfast.
There are times in our lives when we may question whether we are capable of fulfilling the responsibilities placed before us. We may feel unprepared to lead, serve, minister, care for others, or step into unfamiliar territory.
Yet, the life of Moses teaches us that God’s calling is greater than our insecurities, and His presence is greater than our obstacles.
We must remember that leadership is not simply about holding a position or exercising authority. Godly leadership requires humility, obedience, patience, courage, and a willingness to serve others.
Moses was called to lead God’s people out of bondage and toward the promises of God. Likewise, we are called to use our gifts, talents, and opportunities to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
When God calls us, we must trust that He will also provide what we need to fulfill His purpose.
TODAY’S SPIRITUAL APPLICATION
As we reflect upon the calling of Moses, let us consider these important lessons:
- Answer God’s Call: We should remain willing to serve wherever God directs us, even when the assignment appears difficult.
- Trust God’s Presence: We are never alone when we are walking in obedience to His will.
- Lead With Humility: True leadership is demonstrated through service, compassion, integrity, and accountability.
- Overcome Fear Through Faith: We must not allow fear or feelings of inadequacy to prevent us from fulfilling God’s purpose.
- Encourage Others: Just as Moses was called to help deliver God’s people, we should seek opportunities to uplift those who are struggling.
Remember: God does not require us to have all the answers before we answer His call. He requires our faith, obedience, and willingness to follow Him.
TODAY’S PRAYER
Our Heavenly Father,
We come before Your throne of grace with grateful hearts, thanking You for another opportunity to study Your Holy Word.
Lord, we thank You for the life and example of Moses. Through his calling, we are reminded that You have a divine purpose for our lives and that Your presence is sufficient to sustain us through every assignment.
Father, forgive us for the times when we have allowed fear, doubt, or insecurity to interfere with our obedience to Your will.
Help us to recognize the opportunities You place before us to lead, serve, encourage, and strengthen others.
Grant us wisdom when making decisions, courage when facing opposition, patience during difficult seasons, and humility when entrusted with leadership responsibilities.
Lord, we ask that You strengthen our families, comfort those who are grieving, heal those who are sick, provide for those experiencing financial difficulties, and guide those searching for direction and purpose.
Break every chain of fear, discouragement, confusion, and spiritual bondage that may hinder us from walking in the freedom and purpose You have prepared for us.
May our words, actions, and decisions reflect Your love, righteousness, and truth.
Above all, help us remember Your promise that You will be with us as we walk according to Your divine will.
We ask these blessings in the precious and mighty name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.

May we approach every responsibility with faith, courage, humility, and confidence in the God who has called us.
