Why call yourselves Christians and lack the things you need to live the Christian life or lack what you need to do the work you are called to do. It doesn’t make sense. Why would God call you to serve Him in the earth and withhold from you what you need to serve? Brothers and sisters, God has fully equipped you. You have all you need to serve God in this earth; it is just a matter of learning what you have and how to use it for God’s glory. Moses had a rod.  When the LORD God called him to service, he made all kinds of excuses why he could not go and do what God wanted Him to do.  He was too old.  He was tongue-tied.  The people would not believe him.  But God asked him a question – “What is that in thine hand?”  It was a rod.  God took what he had in his hand and made it an instrument for His purpose and plans.  God gave him a rod to use to prove that he was sent by God to lead the Hebrew people out of bondage, to set them free.  He had something that he could use.  He had something that would bring results. Elijah had a mantle. If you are a Bible student then you know how important these things were to the servants of God. They were natural objects used by God to bring about a spiritual phenomenon in the earth.  Truly it can be said, “with God nothing shall be impossible”.
