""What is that in your hand this 2024?"
"And the Lord said to him, What is that in your hand? And he said, A rod."Exodus 4:2
When Moses encountered God in the desert, The Lord asked him a simple question, "What is that in your hand?" As we all know Moses replied it is a rod. A simple and ordinary rod that became the rod of God used to perform countless miracles for the people of old.
Again, when Jesus wanted to feed a multitude, He asked for what was available. A little boy offered his lunch, and The Lord used it to feed thousands of people and some were even left. I want to extract a simple but powerful principle from these two stories for us as we begin the new year 2024.
We all have something on our hands. No matter who you may be. There is nothing like I do not have anything to make an impact in your life or the lives of those around you. For you to be reading this post, you must have a cell phone or computer in your hand, even if you are in a cyber.
One lesson I learned in 2023 was When God wants to solve a problem in your life, He likes to use what is in your hand, even if it seems like it is nothing or inconsequential.
So my question to you reading this piece is what is in your hand that can be used to impact your life positively and those around you this 2024.
On my recent trip to Cameroon, I came in contact with someone who has a lovely voice, and excellent grammatical articulation but did not know these things could earn them serious money on freelancing platforms.
So if God visited you today and said, "What is that in your hand," would you answer, "Facebook" or even the "Internet". Would you say, "Lord, I have a computer in my hand, I know how to use it."
See, there is nothing you cannot do, with just the Internet or Facebook.
Take for instance, there are millions of businesses out here looking for people to run facebook ads for them. I mean you can literally learn this skill for free. Just head to facebook blueprint and everything is there, you do have to buy a course for this.
"Success and prosperity are nothing more than a way of thinking" -Strive Masiyiwa.
As you embark on this new year 2024, I want you to take sometime off to figure out what is it that you have in your hand that can be rod of God in your life.
with love
Happy New Year
