Exodus 2
The Message
Moses
2 1-3 A man from the family of Levi married a Levite woman. The woman became pregnant and had a son. She saw there was something special about him and hid him. She hid him for three months. When she couldn’t hide him any longer she got a little basket-boat made of papyrus, waterproofed it with tar and pitch, and placed the child in it. Then she set it afloat in the reeds at the edge of the Nile.
Have you ever been advised not to pursue something because it could be bad timing? Or told to let go of something good? Something you really like, love despite having full conviction that’s it’s yours?
Listen in as I share my understanding from the story of Moses’ mother, Jochebed, and a few things I noted regarding the importance of letting go of good things especially when there’s a threat or the time for the manifestation hasn’t yet come.
The root of all our problems is our inability to let go.

word that was starting with today.I hope that maybe if you have some
time, if can just read through, eat, meditate to me and just
(03:14):
try and hear what God his strengthwould want or strength to communicate to you
personality today. Today's a story ortopic of discussion is coming from a very
very amazing, interesting story that Ithink we learned about, especially in Sunday
school, and that is the birthof one for Father Moses. And so
(03:39):
I'll be taking the reading for thestory from the Message version of the Bible,
and that's Exodus chapter two from thisone to three, and the Bible
reads a man from the family ofLevi married Alevi woman. The woman became
pregnant and had a son. Shesaw there was something special about you and
(04:00):
hit him. She hit him forthree months. When she couldn't hide him
any longer, she got a littlebasket made of appearance what approof with tar
and pitch unless a child in it? Then she set it about in the
reads at the edge of the mana man, And that is the story
we're going to be talking about today. And the topic attached to this story
(04:25):
is good to let go of?Good to let go of. I don't
know if you've ever heard somebody sayor tell you that you're too good to
let go of, or that somethingis too good, that they're willing to
let go of something in those lines, that something is nice, but you're
(04:48):
willing to let go of that,And that is what we're going to be
looking at in the story. Justlearning about it, you know, I
read quite an amazing a called fromthis should be a man, mister Leo
b Bout, and it says,the root of all our problems is in
our inability to let go. Theroot of all our problems is in our
(05:13):
inability to let go. So justlike us to just look at this world
and just think, especially that it'sFriday, you know, if you look
back, but some of the thingsthat maybe you should have just let go
of and not really put your handson your feet in and just allow things
to be, you know, andyou know, at the end of the
day, probably that brought something betterif you had not rushed it, you
(05:34):
know. And so it's amazing howthe scripture describes before before Moses's mother,
who is Judgia Bed. I thinkI might mis pronounce it, but yeah,
judge A Bed was Moses's mother.So the initiative that she do before
like letting Moses go the things thatshe had planned, or even before that,
(05:58):
she came to a point or realizationlike there is something about this child.
There is something special about this child. And I think beforehand, if
you read chapter one, they canjust digress a little bit. We understand
that Pharaoh had laid a law.Yes, he had laid a lot that
(06:19):
every male child that was born amongthe Egyptians that they are going to be
killed. Yeah. And so whathe did was he had taught the sorry
the Israelizes, not the Egyptians,I'm so sorry. So he had taught
(06:39):
the midwives that every male child thatis born from the women, that they
should kill them immediately. They shouldspare the female children. But then of
course the women that the midborers thatwere there, they feared God, and
so they did not go with that. They still allow the children to leave,
you know. And then when itcame from Moses to be born,
(07:00):
he was a male child, andthen of course, uh, judge Beer
was allowed to have him. Buteven after, not only aside the protection
from the midwives, the mother herselfhad noticed something about the son, and
she was just like, I justcan't you know, hold on to this
child. Of course he's born,he's a male. At some point,
(07:23):
obviously she knew how things were beingaround there, maybe he would have been
found out, she would have beenfound out that she was skipping the child,
and so she decides to let himgo. But even in letting him
go, what did she do withthat, And I would just like us
to go down to maybe a fewor four things that I noticed that she
did before letting Moses go. Numberone was that she recognized the greatness,
(07:45):
the greatness in her son. Yeah, she knew that she was a special
child. And so with that.The next thing was she strategically planned how
to let him go. She justjust noticed that, Oh he's a good
child. Okay, not fine,it's nighttime, nobody's watching. Run off
and go wherever you can go.Just run as fas as you can go.
No, she planned it very wellin her planning. What did she
(08:09):
do? She made a basket andsafely secured him in it, put him
in the door. She did notjust send him away. She secured him
in a basket, put in thewater, and then sent him off.
But also in the sending him off, I think if we go down and
we read, I think from versefour we come to understand that Moses's mother,
(08:33):
Joche but did not just go alongto the river. She had gone
with Moses's sister Miriam, and sothe time when their mom had let him
go, she was also watching.So she did she didn't just go there
and do it by herself. Soshe was watching and she got to see
the time when Pharaoh's daughter picked Moses. One of Pharaoh's servants picked Moses up,
(08:54):
and then they took him in andwe know that he gets to grab
and with them, she gets tobe to grow up as his mom.
So these are the four things thatI noticed, and I thought that maybe
we could just talk about, youknow, because I came to realize that
after reading the story, that thereare certain things that even for us,
(09:16):
you know that you need to keephidden, you need to hold onto.
You don't need to share, youdon't need to talk about, you don't
need to post on social media.You know when the social media days,
everything something is trending, something ispopping, something is happening. You want
to do it, you have todo it because somebody else did it.
But then there are certain things thatwe need to just keep hitting until the
(09:37):
right time for it to manifest comes. You know, because even with those
things, I believe that whatever itis, whateverything that you may have,
whatever dream, desire, gift,anything that you just want to do something
different, wherever it is, itis only unique to you number because you're
(09:58):
the one with the idea and thevision. So it is unique to you.
But of course if it is prematurelyexposed, and if it is not
strategically exposed again, that could bea problem. You know. So there
is something that is only unique toyou. Even if others can do it,
you know, even if somebody elsecan do it, they will not
(10:18):
do it the way you would doit. They would do it, but
not the way you would do it. So that is just something that I
thought, Wow, this is quitequite interesting. How it is important that
we should come to this realization thatthere are certain things in our lives.
You could have a dream now,but it may not be for today.
It could be for next year,it could be for two years, it
(10:41):
could be for a decade afterwards.Just hold on to it until you've convicted
to let it go. So aswe just continue to dig it into this
stop, you're going to come andtalk about maybe a few things that can
help us point us at this sorrythat can help us to recognize or maybe
(11:01):
yes, to recognize, how wecan see things that we need to let
go of, or if they tendto let go of, something has camp
and also the failures of letting thingsgo. What what makes what happens if
you felt to let things go thatneeds to that needs to be let go
off. Sorry, And so aswe take the first musical break, here
is Sam James and Marie's with over. I hope you're blessed and dance alone
(11:24):
as you listen. Whoa Yeah,over and over your love keeps taking me

for nothing and you love what keepssaying to me his I never thought I'll
(15:03):
be over and over excel. Ihope they have enjoyed that showing musical break
and so we're going to get intotalking about the failure of letting go.
What kind of things lead to sorry, what kind of things result in failing
(15:24):
to let go of things that weneed to let go of, these that
are good to let go of.And the first thing is stress and emotional
emotional exhaustion. And why I saythis is, like I said earlier from
Exoduce, if we read the firstchapter, realized that Pharaoh had already said
(15:46):
a lot that all the male childrenare supposed to be killed. Now imagine,
I'm just going to think of ascenario where Joshabed kept kept Moses with
her and maybe night afternoon they werebeing threatened, they were coming to be
ceerchain. They had to hide himunder the bed or maybe in the cupboard,
(16:06):
or maybe in a drama or somethinglike. Day after day they were
not at peace, but they alwayshad to do It's like they're always on
the age, just waiting for somethingto happen. I think that really brought
a lot of emotional and emotional stress, you know. But then the fact
that she had released herself, shenoticed something great about him and she let
(16:27):
him go. Not only did itleave her from that stress, but also
protected him. So that is anotherthing that we need to come and realize
that it works. Double is lettinggo of something good is for your good
and also for the good or whateverything that you're letting go of. And
I think that is something that wecan also see from this story. And
(16:47):
the second thing is frustration. Soback to the same story, same scenario
of maybe people coming bigguards had beensent to the Knight to come and search
their homes, and then of coursemother is busy hiding him, putting him
away, putting him under the bed, maybe in drums in the cupboard,
just something he will get to grow, and then there could be frustration,
(17:11):
maybe himself or his mom. Hemight end up wanting to fight the guard.
So maybe he might end up wantingto disobey his mother because he's also
tired. He's grown up with thatkind of thing of hiding all the time,
you know, So in one wayor the other, frustration may creep
in. And I think that mayalso happen to us as well, you
know, especially if you know,Oh my goodness, I'm so convinced that
(17:32):
maybe it could be I'm supposed toget into ministry. It could be I'm
supposed to get into TV. Itcould be I should get into something.
I have this hidden dream of acting. I'll just say it and leave it
here. I haven't hidden dream ofacting, but I know for sure that
I can't stop school and say I'mgoing to acting yet. You know,
it is something that I have inme, But I just can't, you
(17:53):
know, because I feel like Ican do it, and so let go
of everything and just step into itsponting without really being convicted that I should
let it, I should get intoit. Sorry. So in the meantime,
I'm just learning to just let itgo. If I want something like
it I imitated a little bit,I just I let it go, and
maybe, just maybe, when theright time comes, I might getting to
(18:14):
it. But anyway, I'm nottalking about me. Back to talking about
Moses and Joshah Beed and Moses.Sorry. So, if the situation was
that she kept him, it isthere's a likely likely chance that she would
end up frustrated or even Moses wouldend up frustrated himself. And then the
third thing is there would be constanta fear. I think that Moses's mother,
(18:37):
with the stress, the frustration,emotional exhaustion, should have been living
in constant fear because she don't knowwhat will happen. She doesn't know when
maybe Pharaoh will come or you'll sendhis people, or what they will just
do to her, do to herson. I'm sure it would have been
hard for her if you send himout to go and play with other kids,
you know, to go out andjust maybe go on hand, go
and do something, maybe her somekettle, whatever it would have been.
(19:02):
I don't think should have been reallyfree to let go of him to go
and do all those things. Youknow. I think people who have either
left home or maybe traveled far fromhome, went to study abroad and all
those things. I think he kindof would understand the kind of fears.
If I should say that parents mayhave with letting go of children, like
(19:22):
letting children go like far away,like, I think it would be kind
of something similar to that. Ofcourse, this scenario is a little bit
different. Here there was a threat, you know, the children, the
male children needed to be killed.They had to be killed, according to
Phara. So I think that Josephhave really constant they've been living in fear,
(19:42):
and who was even more himself incase maybe he witnesses something growing up.
I mean, this is somebody beingkilled, a male maybe a male
friend, anything would have happened,and that would have left him living in
constant fear. And yeah, sothose are the three things that I thought
that you'd share it too. Thatmay result in the fear of letting go.
(20:06):
So if you are afraid to letgo of things that are good,
it will bring you emotional stress,it will bring you a lot of exhaustion
and frustration, and you will constantlybe living in fear. And another story
that I think resonates with this particulartopic of God to let go is a
story of Abraham in Genesis chapter twentytwo, and I think we know just
(20:30):
quickly readily to Bejensis chapter twenty twoburst. One of the Bible says,
sometime later God tested Abraham. Hesaid to him, Abraham, here I
am, he replied. Then Godsaid, take your son, your only
stand home, you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Mariah,
sacrificing there as a burnt offering onthe mountain. I will show you.
(20:52):
And of course you know, thenext morning Abraham a lot of the
donkey he went. He went withIsaac, and also he took one of
his servants with him. So Nowthat's the other thing that I really like
in the two stories. You know, when the aspect of letting something good
go comes whatever that it may be, accountability is really really important. But
(21:17):
then the aspect of accountability shouldn't justbe anybody. You know, we understand
from Exodus from Judge, but shewent with Miriam, goes Masa's sister.
And here we have Abraham going withIsaac, who's supposed to be the sacrifice,
but he also took along his servant, you know, just to be
there. So it's always always important. It's important that you have somebody to
(21:41):
be there with you, a supportand accountability partner, whatever that you may
it may be that you may callit, but somebody just has to be
there, you know, you knowyou have something. So you not help
me so that I don't end updoing this thing now because it's not time.
Okay, you not help me asI'm supposed to be doing this because
I need to do it. Justsomebody to be helping you, helping you
(22:03):
with doing the some chicks and balances, if I should say that, And
so we go back, just comingback to Moses's story here, Sorry,
Abraham and he storty sacrifice his onlyson, and he's still he's willing to
do it, you know, he'swilling to do it. He of course,
that was the only child that hehad through Sarah. Of course we
(22:26):
know about Hagar and Ishmael, butthat's the only son that he had through
Sarah. And after they had waitedfor a long time, but then when
God met that call, he justhe let him go, just like that.
And I think that also just showshow much trust Abraham had in God.
(22:47):
And we know that if we lookat the whole of faith in Hebrews,
is one of the men that isreally called upon to be a man
of faith, and it is accordedto him as righteousness. So now the
other thing that I also wanted tojust share was maybe a few things that
we can do, maybe ways thatcan help us in the process of letting
(23:11):
go. But are some of thethings that you need to do. Because
you can do it in your mind, you can say I'm letting go in
your mind, but it is alsoimportant to take all the necessary steps in
letting go, because it's one thingto speak it, but it's another thing
to just work it out. Eventhe Bible tells us about faith you know,
faith without works is dead. Soyou can just be saying, okay,
(23:32):
if I in the back of myhead, I'm saying, now do
this or not do this, andthen you don't put the work in,
and I think that's again comes backand you're putting the work and you need
somebody. You might need somebody tohelp you stay accountable, somebody a support
system to help to be looking outfor you as you're doing or not doing
those things, or doing that thing, doing the letting go, whatever that
(23:53):
it may be, so they canbe watching you and helping you and encouraging
you. You know, okay,take a step back, one step forward,
whatever that it may be. Sowe're gonna talk about those things later.
This also three things, just likethe three things that made that I
talked about earlier, the failure thatmay result in failure to letting go if
(24:18):
I should say that. But beforewe get into that, I think I've
talked to them. Let's take anothermusical break, and here is just on
your loco Bye do you, Joe, hope you're blessed you listen doesn't know
(24:51):
about you, nothing else a recordscauseyou don't know many rollo look up?
Can me and that is my son. That's you'll be joining my mom.
(25:14):
Beck I I love that jack menow I love my job. You say
you don't gonna be up, butsay you would have my shop down talk,
but I won't load you with mytongue. You say you don't gonna
(25:37):
beat up, saying you won't havemy shop don cup, but I won't
lod you my time, cup,Honey, what about nothing as the breadcast?
But you don't know? No,go look up? Can you?
(26:04):
Okay, she's a logo, hesaid before shop. You don't mind a
good period and you've got to givepassion every day alive amptation yellow any I've
(26:27):
been offending, you need to worry. You worry you yellow love need to
worry everything you wanted. You cannothing as the breakers because you don't know
(26:52):
if a love is cast. I'mgonna tell you. I'm a just know
Red beside. Everywhere we go,we make his name from the nothing something
he's doing. We shout his fambecause he's the fast nobody ever can't contest
(27:18):
no party. You know. Makeevery Wednesday Big I go shout his fan.
Other day, make his name everywherethe big I go shout his fan
all the day about it. Ithink that's the blast. You don't look
(27:49):
up people's from my logo, Ishout, well, indeed, Jesson logo.
(28:30):
I don't know what your logo is, but mind is indeed. Yes.
I hope you've enjoyed that fist ofmusic. And so before we get
into the steps of letting go thingsthat we can do to help us,
let go of the good that probablyI'm not yet, I have not yet
(28:52):
fully matured and maybe not the timefor them to allow them to manifest.
Before you get into that, I'lljust miss it. I'd like to sorry,
mention the three things that I did. Yeah, it's Friday, and
we always have to mention at leastthree things that you did during the week
that you thrived that, and Ithink last week I had to and this
week it came down to one.It came down to one. Well,
(29:17):
not that I haven't been doing anything, but mostly I've been trying to polish
more on the two things that Imentioned last week, so I only added
one this week. So I thinkthat maybe my still come to doing three
things. But anyway, the onething that I was able to do and
thrive that if I should say thisweek was rebrand my blog. Yes,
(29:38):
so I have been writing, likewriting blogs since twenty between twenty sixty and
twenty seventeen, and I think everyother year, maybe once in a year
after two years, I always wantto change things and change things, which
I was feeling terrible about, youknow, but just I just thought to
myself that every other time, Ithink every year that comes every other two
(30:02):
years, like I'm finding myself.I'm getting to know a bit more about
myself. So it's okay to rebrandyourself whatever that it may be. So
I was just trying to bind myblog. I changed the name and I'll
probably be removing some of my oddstaff with a little bit of some polishing.
Though my writing there was very babyish, but I'm still learning.
(30:23):
I'm sure from now too, afterthree years, i'll be like, it's
still baby ish. But yeah,I'm gonna pick up some of the things
and put them in the new blog. And so yeah, that's just basically
what I did, just rebranding myblog, making sure that it's site that
is good for people to visit andfor anybody that has not visited it yet.
It doesn't have much content, butI can assure that there's things that
(30:44):
are coming. It is. It'sthe thriving I just speed dot WordPress dot
com. It's the thriving I justspeed dot WordPress dot com. So yeah,
visit, support, write or mayberead, leve a comment, like,
and yeah, let us continue thriving. And so down to the three
(31:06):
things, the three steps that wecan take when it's time to let go
of something that is good. HereI'm talking about letting go of something good
because at the end of the dayit will work good not only for you,
but also for the thing that you'reletting go of. And so the
first one is to recognize when it'stime, you know, recognize when it's
time we go back again. InExodus, Joshia bed first thing that she
(31:32):
came for. Her recognition was thegreatness that was in Moses. That's where
it came from. So recognized,is it the time? Has the time
come? Or is it that there'ssomething special about it? Is it there's
something unique about it? Is therethere's something Sometimes it could be danger,
it could be a threat, youknow, and you don't want that good
thing to be wrecked or to goto waste. So recognize when the time
(31:56):
has come. The time might comethrough you seeing something very good, something
unique, something different, something productivein it. The time can be maybe
some danger is coming towards this.It could be a threat. So the
first thing is to make sure yourecognize that. And the second thing I
think I should of God a countless, countless number of terms we're taught about,
(32:17):
we're encouraged about the importance of prayer, just submitting things to God.
I would say, you're going toit forty days first and prayer. It's
just as short as getting the Bible, looking for some scripture and just praying
that. Using the scripture and prayingover that. For example, the Bible,
I'll read from some one hundred andeighteen, verse eight, it says,
(32:38):
Lord, it is so much betterto trust in you to save me
than to put my confidence in someoneelse. That is coming from the passion
translation. Then maybe I can alsoread sound nine verse ten, those who
know your name trust in you,for you Lord have never forsaken those who
seek you. So it could justbe something as simple as that getting a
(33:00):
scription, just praying it over that. So it's really really important to be
prayerful about the good thing that you'reletting go of. And then the second
The third thing story, which isgoing to be the last thing, if
I should say, is to sickand find support. You know. I
think, as I mentioned earlier,we realize in both stories story of Josie
(33:24):
bed and Abraham, they did notgo by themselves. There was a servant
on the other side, Miriam andmother sister went along with the mothers So
you cannot do You cannot do thelife of journey by yourself, no matter
how maybe how much you think youcan. You just can never be alone.
So where there is need, befind support, sick support, you
(33:49):
know, and just have some helpas you're trying to figure things out.
Is it trying to let go ofthose good things, because then when the
time comes now to do you willhave people like, yes, okay,
now it's you have people to helpyou affirm. People will be praying with
you, they'll be standing with you, they'll be recognizing. You know,
sometimes people just be wisdom. Itwouldn't be that they've even prayed about it,
(34:12):
or they didn't have a revelation fromGod, but just the wisdom because
they're able to really see beyond whatyou can see. And so yeah,
I think basically those are just thethings that I wanted to just share with
us today. And the most importantthing whenever we let go of things,
when especially the good thing sin isthat we're know for sure that God,
I know that your hand in thisit just shows and simply allows God to
(34:36):
be in charge. And you're alsoletting him know that you trust him to
do what you cannot do. You'retrusting him enough to have his way in
your life. And yeah, wheneveryou have some time, please read John
fourteen. That's one, and Axietwenty six verst three. John fourteen that's
one, Axiet twenty six, firstthree. And I hope it's a scripture
(34:57):
that can help us as we've gonethrough the we can And I hope you
happen left weekend. So this iswhat I had for today. I hope
you have enjoyed and this topic,and just remember there is good in letting
go, you know. So Ihope you're blessed, enjoy your weekends,
take good care, and I'll besigning up with a song by KB Limo
(35:19):

a word of prayer. Dear Father, we just want to say thank you

word that was starting with today.I hope that maybe if you have some
time, if can just read through, eat, meditate to me and just
(03:14):
try and hear what God his strengthwould want or strength to communicate to you
personality today. Today's a story ortopic of discussion is coming from a very
very amazing, interesting story that Ithink we learned about, especially in Sunday
school, and that is the birthof one for Father Moses. And so
(03:39):
I'll be taking the reading for thestory from the Message version of the Bible,
and that's Exodus chapter two from thisone to three, and the Bible
reads a man from the family ofLevi married Alevi woman. The woman became
pregnant and had a son. Shesaw there was something special about you and
(04:00):
hit him. She hit him forthree months. When she couldn't hide him
any longer, she got a littlebasket made of appearance what approof with tar
and pitch unless a child in it? Then she set it about in the
reads at the edge of the mana man, And that is the story
we're going to be talking about today. And the topic attached to this story
(04:25):
is good to let go of?Good to let go of. I don't
know if you've ever heard somebody sayor tell you that you're too good to
let go of, or that somethingis too good, that they're willing to
let go of something in those lines, that something is nice, but you're
(04:48):
willing to let go of that,And that is what we're going to be
looking at in the story. Justlearning about it, you know, I
read quite an amazing a called fromthis should be a man, mister Leo
b Bout, and it says,the root of all our problems is in
our inability to let go. Theroot of all our problems is in our
(05:13):
inability to let go. So justlike us to just look at this world
and just think, especially that it'sFriday, you know, if you look
back, but some of the thingsthat maybe you should have just let go
of and not really put your handson your feet in and just allow things
to be, you know, andyou know, at the end of the
day, probably that brought something betterif you had not rushed it, you
(05:34):
know. And so it's amazing howthe scripture describes before before Moses's mother,
who is Judgia Bed. I thinkI might mis pronounce it, but yeah,
judge A Bed was Moses's mother.So the initiative that she do before
like letting Moses go the things thatshe had planned, or even before that,
(05:58):
she came to a point or realizationlike there is something about this child.
There is something special about this child. And I think beforehand, if
you read chapter one, they canjust digress a little bit. We understand
that Pharaoh had laid a law.Yes, he had laid a lot that
(06:19):
every male child that was born amongthe Egyptians that they are going to be
killed. Yeah. And so whathe did was he had taught the sorry
the Israelizes, not the Egyptians,I'm so sorry. So he had taught
(06:39):
the midwives that every male child thatis born from the women, that they
should kill them immediately. They shouldspare the female children. But then of
course the women that the midborers thatwere there, they feared God, and
so they did not go with that. They still allow the children to leave,
you know. And then when itcame from Moses to be born,
(07:00):
he was a male child, andthen of course, uh, judge Beer
was allowed to have him. Buteven after, not only aside the protection
from the midwives, the mother herselfhad noticed something about the son, and
she was just like, I justcan't you know, hold on to this
child. Of course he's born,he's a male. At some point,
(07:23):
obviously she knew how things were beingaround there, maybe he would have been
found out, she would have beenfound out that she was skipping the child,
and so she decides to let himgo. But even in letting him
go, what did she do withthat, And I would just like us
to go down to maybe a fewor four things that I noticed that she
did before letting Moses go. Numberone was that she recognized the greatness,
(07:45):
the greatness in her son. Yeah, she knew that she was a special
child. And so with that.The next thing was she strategically planned how
to let him go. She justjust noticed that, Oh he's a good
child. Okay, not fine,it's nighttime, nobody's watching. Run off
and go wherever you can go.Just run as fas as you can go.
No, she planned it very wellin her planning. What did she
(08:09):
do? She made a basket andsafely secured him in it, put him
in the door. She did notjust send him away. She secured him
in a basket, put in thewater, and then sent him off.
But also in the sending him off, I think if we go down and
we read, I think from versefour we come to understand that Moses's mother,
(08:33):
Joche but did not just go alongto the river. She had gone
with Moses's sister Miriam, and sothe time when their mom had let him
go, she was also watching.So she did she didn't just go there
and do it by herself. Soshe was watching and she got to see
the time when Pharaoh's daughter picked Moses. One of Pharaoh's servants picked Moses up,
(08:54):
and then they took him in andwe know that he gets to grab
and with them, she gets tobe to grow up as his mom.
So these are the four things thatI noticed, and I thought that maybe
we could just talk about, youknow, because I came to realize that
after reading the story, that thereare certain things that even for us,
(09:16):
you know that you need to keephidden, you need to hold onto.
You don't need to share, youdon't need to talk about, you don't
need to post on social media.You know when the social media days,
everything something is trending, something ispopping, something is happening. You want
to do it, you have todo it because somebody else did it.
But then there are certain things thatwe need to just keep hitting until the
(09:37):
right time for it to manifest comes. You know, because even with those
things, I believe that whatever itis, whateverything that you may have,
whatever dream, desire, gift,anything that you just want to do something
different, wherever it is, itis only unique to you number because you're
(09:58):
the one with the idea and thevision. So it is unique to you.
But of course if it is prematurelyexposed, and if it is not
strategically exposed again, that could bea problem. You know. So there
is something that is only unique toyou. Even if others can do it,
you know, even if somebody elsecan do it, they will not
(10:18):
do it the way you would doit. They would do it, but
not the way you would do it. So that is just something that I
thought, Wow, this is quitequite interesting. How it is important that
we should come to this realization thatthere are certain things in our lives.
You could have a dream now,but it may not be for today.
It could be for next year,it could be for two years, it
(10:41):
could be for a decade afterwards.Just hold on to it until you've convicted
to let it go. So aswe just continue to dig it into this
stop, you're going to come andtalk about maybe a few things that can
help us point us at this sorrythat can help us to recognize or maybe
(11:01):
yes, to recognize, how wecan see things that we need to let
go of, or if they tendto let go of, something has camp
and also the failures of letting thingsgo. What what makes what happens if
you felt to let things go thatneeds to that needs to be let go
off. Sorry, And so aswe take the first musical break, here
is Sam James and Marie's with over. I hope you're blessed and dance alone
(11:24):
as you listen. Whoa Yeah,over and over your love keeps taking me

(14:43):

for nothing and you love what keepssaying to me his I never thought I'll
(15:03):
be over and over excel. Ihope they have enjoyed that showing musical break
and so we're going to get intotalking about the failure of letting go.
What kind of things lead to sorry, what kind of things result in failing
(15:24):
to let go of things that weneed to let go of, these that
are good to let go of.And the first thing is stress and emotional
emotional exhaustion. And why I saythis is, like I said earlier from
Exoduce, if we read the firstchapter, realized that Pharaoh had already said
(15:46):
a lot that all the male childrenare supposed to be killed. Now imagine,
I'm just going to think of ascenario where Joshabed kept kept Moses with
her and maybe night afternoon they werebeing threatened, they were coming to be
ceerchain. They had to hide himunder the bed or maybe in the cupboard,
(16:06):
or maybe in a drama or somethinglike. Day after day they were
not at peace, but they alwayshad to do It's like they're always on
the age, just waiting for somethingto happen. I think that really brought
a lot of emotional and emotional stress, you know. But then the fact
that she had released herself, shenoticed something great about him and she let
(16:27):
him go. Not only did itleave her from that stress, but also
protected him. So that is anotherthing that we need to come and realize
that it works. Double is lettinggo of something good is for your good
and also for the good or whateverything that you're letting go of. And
I think that is something that wecan also see from this story. And
(16:47):
the second thing is frustration. Soback to the same story, same scenario
of maybe people coming bigguards had beensent to the Knight to come and search
their homes, and then of coursemother is busy hiding him, putting him
away, putting him under the bed, maybe in drums in the cupboard,
just something he will get to grow, and then there could be frustration,
(17:11):
maybe himself or his mom. Hemight end up wanting to fight the guard.
So maybe he might end up wantingto disobey his mother because he's also
tired. He's grown up with thatkind of thing of hiding all the time,
you know, So in one wayor the other, frustration may creep
in. And I think that mayalso happen to us as well, you
know, especially if you know,Oh my goodness, I'm so convinced that
(17:32):
maybe it could be I'm supposed toget into ministry. It could be I'm
supposed to get into TV. Itcould be I should get into something.
I have this hidden dream of acting. I'll just say it and leave it
here. I haven't hidden dream ofacting, but I know for sure that
I can't stop school and say I'mgoing to acting yet. You know,
it is something that I have inme, But I just can't, you
(17:53):
know, because I feel like Ican do it, and so let go
of everything and just step into itsponting without really being convicted that I should
let it, I should get intoit. Sorry. So in the meantime,
I'm just learning to just let itgo. If I want something like
it I imitated a little bit,I just I let it go, and
maybe, just maybe, when theright time comes, I might getting to
(18:14):
it. But anyway, I'm nottalking about me. Back to talking about
Moses and Joshah Beed and Moses.Sorry. So, if the situation was
that she kept him, it isthere's a likely likely chance that she would
end up frustrated or even Moses wouldend up frustrated himself. And then the
third thing is there would be constanta fear. I think that Moses's mother,
(18:37):
with the stress, the frustration,emotional exhaustion, should have been living
in constant fear because she don't knowwhat will happen. She doesn't know when
maybe Pharaoh will come or you'll sendhis people, or what they will just
do to her, do to herson. I'm sure it would have been
hard for her if you send himout to go and play with other kids,
you know, to go out andjust maybe go on hand, go
and do something, maybe her somekettle, whatever it would have been.
(19:02):
I don't think should have been reallyfree to let go of him to go
and do all those things. Youknow. I think people who have either
left home or maybe traveled far fromhome, went to study abroad and all
those things. I think he kindof would understand the kind of fears.
If I should say that parents mayhave with letting go of children, like
(19:22):
letting children go like far away,like, I think it would be kind
of something similar to that. Ofcourse, this scenario is a little bit
different. Here there was a threat, you know, the children, the
male children needed to be killed.They had to be killed, according to
Phara. So I think that Josephhave really constant they've been living in fear,
(19:42):
and who was even more himself incase maybe he witnesses something growing up.
I mean, this is somebody beingkilled, a male maybe a male
friend, anything would have happened,and that would have left him living in
constant fear. And yeah, sothose are the three things that I thought
that you'd share it too. Thatmay result in the fear of letting go.
(20:06):
So if you are afraid to letgo of things that are good,
it will bring you emotional stress,it will bring you a lot of exhaustion
and frustration, and you will constantlybe living in fear. And another story
that I think resonates with this particulartopic of God to let go is a
story of Abraham in Genesis chapter twentytwo, and I think we know just
(20:30):
quickly readily to Bejensis chapter twenty twoburst. One of the Bible says,
sometime later God tested Abraham. Hesaid to him, Abraham, here I
am, he replied. Then Godsaid, take your son, your only
stand home, you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Mariah,
sacrificing there as a burnt offering onthe mountain. I will show you.
(20:52):
And of course you know, thenext morning Abraham a lot of the
donkey he went. He went withIsaac, and also he took one of
his servants with him. So Nowthat's the other thing that I really like
in the two stories. You know, when the aspect of letting something good
go comes whatever that it may be, accountability is really really important. But
(21:17):
then the aspect of accountability shouldn't justbe anybody. You know, we understand
from Exodus from Judge, but shewent with Miriam, goes Masa's sister.
And here we have Abraham going withIsaac, who's supposed to be the sacrifice,
but he also took along his servant, you know, just to be
there. So it's always always important. It's important that you have somebody to
(21:41):
be there with you, a supportand accountability partner, whatever that you may
it may be that you may callit, but somebody just has to be
there, you know, you knowyou have something. So you not help
me so that I don't end updoing this thing now because it's not time.
Okay, you not help me asI'm supposed to be doing this because
I need to do it. Justsomebody to be helping you, helping you
(22:03):
with doing the some chicks and balances, if I should say that, And
so we go back, just comingback to Moses's story here, Sorry,
Abraham and he storty sacrifice his onlyson, and he's still he's willing to
do it, you know, he'swilling to do it. He of course,
that was the only child that hehad through Sarah. Of course we
(22:26):
know about Hagar and Ishmael, butthat's the only son that he had through
Sarah. And after they had waitedfor a long time, but then when
God met that call, he justhe let him go, just like that.
And I think that also just showshow much trust Abraham had in God.
(22:47):
And we know that if we lookat the whole of faith in Hebrews,
is one of the men that isreally called upon to be a man
of faith, and it is accordedto him as righteousness. So now the
other thing that I also wanted tojust share was maybe a few things that
we can do, maybe ways thatcan help us in the process of letting
(23:11):
go. But are some of thethings that you need to do. Because
you can do it in your mind, you can say I'm letting go in
your mind, but it is alsoimportant to take all the necessary steps in
letting go, because it's one thingto speak it, but it's another thing
to just work it out. Eventhe Bible tells us about faith you know,
faith without works is dead. Soyou can just be saying, okay,
(23:32):
if I in the back of myhead, I'm saying, now do
this or not do this, andthen you don't put the work in,
and I think that's again comes backand you're putting the work and you need
somebody. You might need somebody tohelp you stay accountable, somebody a support
system to help to be looking outfor you as you're doing or not doing
those things, or doing that thing, doing the letting go, whatever that
(23:53):
it may be, so they canbe watching you and helping you and encouraging
you. You know, okay,take a step back, one step forward,
whatever that it may be. Sowe're gonna talk about those things later.
This also three things, just likethe three things that made that I
talked about earlier, the failure thatmay result in failure to letting go if
(24:18):
I should say that. But beforewe get into that, I think I've
talked to them. Let's take anothermusical break, and here is just on
your loco Bye do you, Joe, hope you're blessed you listen doesn't know
(24:51):
about you, nothing else a recordscauseyou don't know many rollo look up?
Can me and that is my son. That's you'll be joining my mom.
(25:14):
Beck I I love that jack menow I love my job. You say
you don't gonna be up, butsay you would have my shop down talk,
but I won't load you with mytongue. You say you don't gonna
(25:37):
beat up, saying you won't havemy shop don cup, but I won't
lod you my time, cup,Honey, what about nothing as the breadcast?
But you don't know? No,go look up? Can you?
(26:04):
Okay, she's a logo, hesaid before shop. You don't mind a
good period and you've got to givepassion every day alive amptation yellow any I've
(26:27):
been offending, you need to worry. You worry you yellow love need to
worry everything you wanted. You cannothing as the breakers because you don't know
(26:52):
if a love is cast. I'mgonna tell you. I'm a just know
Red beside. Everywhere we go,we make his name from the nothing something
he's doing. We shout his fambecause he's the fast nobody ever can't contest
(27:18):
no party. You know. Makeevery Wednesday Big I go shout his fan.
Other day, make his name everywherethe big I go shout his fan
all the day about it. Ithink that's the blast. You don't look
(27:49):
up people's from my logo, Ishout, well, indeed, Jesson logo.
(28:30):
I don't know what your logo is, but mind is indeed. Yes.
I hope you've enjoyed that fist ofmusic. And so before we get
into the steps of letting go thingsthat we can do to help us,
let go of the good that probablyI'm not yet, I have not yet
(28:52):
fully matured and maybe not the timefor them to allow them to manifest.
Before you get into that, I'lljust miss it. I'd like to sorry,
mention the three things that I did. Yeah, it's Friday, and
we always have to mention at leastthree things that you did during the week
that you thrived that, and Ithink last week I had to and this
week it came down to one.It came down to one. Well,
(29:17):
not that I haven't been doing anything, but mostly I've been trying to polish
more on the two things that Imentioned last week, so I only added
one this week. So I thinkthat maybe my still come to doing three
things. But anyway, the onething that I was able to do and
thrive that if I should say thisweek was rebrand my blog. Yes,
(29:38):
so I have been writing, likewriting blogs since twenty between twenty sixty and
twenty seventeen, and I think everyother year, maybe once in a year
after two years, I always wantto change things and change things, which
I was feeling terrible about, youknow, but just I just thought to
myself that every other time, Ithink every year that comes every other two
(30:02):
years, like I'm finding myself.I'm getting to know a bit more about
myself. So it's okay to rebrandyourself whatever that it may be. So
I was just trying to bind myblog. I changed the name and I'll
probably be removing some of my oddstaff with a little bit of some polishing.
Though my writing there was very babyish, but I'm still learning.
(30:23):
I'm sure from now too, afterthree years, i'll be like, it's
still baby ish. But yeah,I'm gonna pick up some of the things
and put them in the new blog. And so yeah, that's just basically
what I did, just rebranding myblog, making sure that it's site that
is good for people to visit andfor anybody that has not visited it yet.
It doesn't have much content, butI can assure that there's things that
(30:44):
are coming. It is. It'sthe thriving I just speed dot WordPress dot
com. It's the thriving I justspeed dot WordPress dot com. So yeah,
visit, support, write or mayberead, leve a comment, like,
and yeah, let us continue thriving. And so down to the three
(31:06):
things, the three steps that wecan take when it's time to let go
of something that is good. HereI'm talking about letting go of something good
because at the end of the dayit will work good not only for you,
but also for the thing that you'reletting go of. And so the
first one is to recognize when it'stime, you know, recognize when it's
time we go back again. InExodus, Joshia bed first thing that she
(31:32):
came for. Her recognition was thegreatness that was in Moses. That's where
it came from. So recognized,is it the time? Has the time
come? Or is it that there'ssomething special about it? Is it there's
something unique about it? Is therethere's something Sometimes it could be danger,
it could be a threat, youknow, and you don't want that good
thing to be wrecked or to goto waste. So recognize when the time
(31:56):
has come. The time might comethrough you seeing something very good, something
unique, something different, something productivein it. The time can be maybe
some danger is coming towards this.It could be a threat. So the
first thing is to make sure yourecognize that. And the second thing I
think I should of God a countless, countless number of terms we're taught about,
(32:17):
we're encouraged about the importance of prayer, just submitting things to God.
I would say, you're going toit forty days first and prayer. It's
just as short as getting the Bible, looking for some scripture and just praying
that. Using the scripture and prayingover that. For example, the Bible,
I'll read from some one hundred andeighteen, verse eight, it says,
(32:38):
Lord, it is so much betterto trust in you to save me
than to put my confidence in someoneelse. That is coming from the passion
translation. Then maybe I can alsoread sound nine verse ten, those who
know your name trust in you,for you Lord have never forsaken those who
seek you. So it could justbe something as simple as that getting a
(33:00):
scription, just praying it over that. So it's really really important to be
prayerful about the good thing that you'reletting go of. And then the second
The third thing story, which isgoing to be the last thing, if
I should say, is to sickand find support. You know. I
think, as I mentioned earlier,we realize in both stories story of Josie
(33:24):
bed and Abraham, they did notgo by themselves. There was a servant
on the other side, Miriam andmother sister went along with the mothers So
you cannot do You cannot do thelife of journey by yourself, no matter
how maybe how much you think youcan. You just can never be alone.
So where there is need, befind support, sick support, you
(33:49):
know, and just have some helpas you're trying to figure things out.
Is it trying to let go ofthose good things, because then when the
time comes now to do you willhave people like, yes, okay,
now it's you have people to helpyou affirm. People will be praying with
you, they'll be standing with you, they'll be recognizing. You know,
sometimes people just be wisdom. Itwouldn't be that they've even prayed about it,
(34:12):
or they didn't have a revelation fromGod, but just the wisdom because
they're able to really see beyond whatyou can see. And so yeah,
I think basically those are just thethings that I wanted to just share with
us today. And the most importantthing whenever we let go of things,
when especially the good thing sin isthat we're know for sure that God,
I know that your hand in thisit just shows and simply allows God to
(34:36):
be in charge. And you're alsoletting him know that you trust him to
do what you cannot do. You'retrusting him enough to have his way in
your life. And yeah, wheneveryou have some time, please read John
fourteen. That's one, and Axietwenty six verst three. John fourteen that's
one, Axiet twenty six, firstthree. And I hope it's a scripture
(34:57):
that can help us as we've gonethrough the we can And I hope you
happen left weekend. So this iswhat I had for today. I hope
you have enjoyed and this topic,and just remember there is good in letting
go, you know. So Ihope you're blessed, enjoy your weekends,
take good care, and I'll besigning up with a song by KB Limo
(35:19):
Blaze and a few other other artiststhat I'm not very familiar with, but
this song is amazing. It issix minutes long. So I had to
leave the time for it to justplay, enjoy and be blessed. Thank
you so much for listening until nexttime. Bye halloo, Yes lord,
