Who is Your Aaron?
September 9, 2009
As we are training to ministers of the gospel, in churches all over the place, I think it important to take note of what happens in Exodus 4 and after. Moses is called by God to serve, but doesn’t feel adequate. However, God has a plan for this inadequacy. This is where Aaron comes in the picture….a man who is eloquent in speech, unlike Moses.
Moses and Aaron together are sent to talk to the elders, and to show the plans God has for the Israelites.
A great lesson can be learned from this.
A huge part of ministry is finding people to engage in serving alongside you. Yes, God has given ministers of the gospel many gifts, but not all of them! Many “lay” people are just waiting for someone to engage them in service. So, this is the challenge set before us: to minister to others, but also to minister alongside others.
