TOPIC: TESTED FOR A PURPOSE
Basic Scripture Exodus 2; 11-25
It was eighty years after Moses left Egypt that he finally knew why God had allowed him to be humiliated. He understood why the lord had permitted the Jew to go through many years of bondage and oppression and then another 40 years of wilderness wandering.

Moses told the Jews just before they crossed the river Jordan into the Promised Land that the good purpose was to humble them and strengthen them. There is a common saying that “NICE GUY FINISH LAST.” Recently at an inter- school sporting event, a faithful Christian brother complained bitterly after his team lost a game to a rival team that was determine on breaking all the rules. He asked ‘why didn’t God honor us by giving us the win?’ Likewise, we often question God!
Note that God uses life’s setbacks to help us move ahead in life and ministry! Do you know that Moses could have wondered why God allowed pharaoh to prevail temporarily when he was actually working for God that he kill the Egyptian man/ no matter what u go thought know that God places emphasis on our long-term moral and spiritual development than on our shout term happiness so, never complain!
It was Abraham Lincoln who said, “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.” Don’t wish to run away keep standing and keep trusting GOD, GOD has a purpose for you! A Chinese proverb says, “You cannot carve a rotten wood” so God’s propose is always timely and for your beautiful end purpose!

Jesus said in John 9: 3; ‘that the purpose for which a man was permitted by God to be born blind was not because of sin, he said it was allowed, that the works of GOD should make manifest in him.’
He was tested for a purpose! Whatever you are allowed to go through this year has a purpose wait! Soon, you know why!
