23 January 2011 - ENCS

Pastor Neli spoke on "What's In Your Hand?"
In the stewardship series, you understand
He showed a video on the man with the golden voice
About a man's second chance for which he did rejoice
The job offers were many and did amaze
So to God he gave thanks and praise
In the same way, God has given us all a different skill
For us to use them well is clearly God's will

Pastor referred to Exodus chapters three and four
About Moses and how he eventually doubted no more
Moses saw a burning bush and a staff turned into a snake
But God's answers to Moses' objections it finally did take
For excuses Moses then stopped making
And instead, God's path he started taking
Making excuses is something we also often do
Luckily, God gives us chances more than a few
In Moses' case, his power was in the form of a staff in his hand
He walked through the Red Sea towards the promised land
What are we doing with our talents, Pastor did ask
Putting them to good use is our real task
But a warning about talents Pastor did then add
'Living off the gift' instead of 'with God' makes God sad
That is what led to Moses getting rebuked by God
For using his staff on the rock instead of giving God the nod
In closing, Pastor said that God wants all that is in us
If we really love him, we should obey without a fuss
