Every destiny must have its burning bush encounter that divine interruption where God introduces Himself beyond religion.
Exodus 3 begins with Moses, once a prince, now a shepherd on the backside of the desert. For forty years, he had hidden under anonymity, stripped of titles and applause. Yet, it was in that place of obscurity that God chose to reveal His glory.
“And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.” Exodus 3:2 (KJV)
This scene reveals a prophetic law: the fire of God does not destroy what is consecrated it refines it.
When God calls a man, He first ignites him. The bush that burned and was not consumed symbolises a man aflame with divine presence yet sustained by grace. The same fire that consumes the flesh empowers the spirit.
God’s call to Moses; “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh” is the transition from encounter to assignment.
It is one thing to be called; it is another to be sent.
The Law of Divine Encounters
Every man God uses must have a personal encounter that defines their conviction. Moses was not called in Pharaoh’s palace, but in the wilderness, where distractions die and purpose speaks. Many cry for assignment without encounter. Until you have met God in your secret place, you are not qualified to represent Him in public.
The Technology of Holy Ground
When God reveals Himself, the first instruction is consecration: “Take off your shoes, for the place where you stand is holy ground.”
Shoes represent human effort, journey, and identity. God was saying, “Lay down your strength, your pride, your past.” The fire calls you to surrender so that God’s ability can replace your insufficiency.
The Commissioning of the Deliverer
Moses’ burning bush moment wasn’t just about personal transformation, it was God’s answer to a nation’s cry. Every true calling is connected to people’s deliverance. The moment you encounter God, you inherit a generation. Your pain becomes the language of deliverance for others.
- Your wilderness is not a punishment; it’s God’s classroom for encounter.
- True fire does not destroy, it purifies and reveals divine purpose.
- When you hear God’s voice calling your name twice (as He did Moses’), know you’ve entered a covenant season of commissioning.
- The proof of encounter is transformation and obedience, not emotion.
Declarations
- I decree that the fire of God burns within me but does not consume me.
- I declare that I have heard God’s voice calling my name and my generation will hear Him through me.
- I stand on holy ground, set apart for divine assignment and impact.
- Every wilderness in my life becomes a place of encounter, not despair.
- The God of the burning bush reveals Himself to me as I AM THAT I AM; timeless, sovereign, and faithful in Jesus name. Amen
“I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people… out of Egypt.” ;Exodus 3:10 (KJV)
The fire that found you in the wilderness is sending you to confront Pharaohs. You are not empty; you carry the “I AM.”
