Hear these words from Jeff Iorg regarding living humbly and seeking God’s power:
You will not lead very long before you realize how little your power matters. To accomplish supernatural results requires supernatural power. True spiritual leaders long for God’s power to be demonstrated through them.
Moses was described as “a very humble man, more so than any man on the face of the earth” (Num. 12:3). That description set the stage for a series of events demonstrating God’s favor and power on him. Aaron and Miriam had been critical of Moses and God confronted them. He addressed them directly from a pillar of cloud, reminding them that he spoke to Moses “directly, openly, and not in riddles” (Num. 12:8). Then he cursed Miriam with a skin disease. When Aaron cried for mercy, Moses interceded and God relented, confining the disease to a seven-day duration.
Moses knew God and could access his power. Do you and can you? That is a measure of spiritual leadership—knowing God and accessing his power. Moses’ humility was a prerequisite to God’s power being available to him. As you practice humility, God’s power will more easily move through you.
