John 14:25-28, These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

"A Place Called Forward" - Firm Foundation inspiration Minute #141 for October 23, 2024

A Place Called Forward
Exodus 14:13, And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14]The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace." 15]  And the LORD said to Moses, "Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16] But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.
Forward defined: To cause to proceed or progress toward a goal. To cause to go or be taken from one place, person, or condition to another.
Forward is a place to which God leads people of purpose and destiny. Forward is a place that stretches your faith and exercises your prayer life. Forward is the place and the direction the vision takes you.
Israel was in a crisis. It was a crisis on different levels:1. There was the original crisis of being held in bondage2. Was the crisis of being delivered from bondage3. There was the crisis of having a bondage mindset, after being delivered4. There was the crisis of being pursued by the Egyptian's from behind and facing the barrier of the Red Sea in front.
What I find amazing about this story, is that God knew what the people did not know. They were not only being delivered from the crisis of bondage and slavery, they were being delivered from their own fear of progress. It was the rebellion of the people that led to captivity in Egypt for 400 years. For the people being delivered, Egypt and bondage and slavery was all they knew. They only heard about their heritage and the promised land.

Romans 14:12, So then each of us shall give account of himself to God
1 Corinthians 4:1-2, Let a man so consider us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.
7 For who makes you differ from another? And what do you have that you did not receive? Now if you did indeed receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
Paul used the word “steward” which is oikonomos (οἰκονόμος) in the Greek. 
It was a word understood by people in his day. Oikonomos was the “major domo” or the person in charge of the administration of the house or estate.
Being a good steward brings and produces WISDOM, PROVISION & EMPOWERMENT
WISDOM: Knowing what to do
PROVISION: Fully supply from the owner
EMPOWERMENT: Able to empower others
 
Our Level of Stewardship is Evident
Proverbs 24:30-32
I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding; 31 And there it was, all overgrown with thorns; Its surface was covered with nettles; Its stone wall was broken down. 32  When I saw it, I considered it well; I looked on it and received instruction:
