Unclaimed Anointings

This powerful message centers on the story of Moses at the burning bush in Exodus 3, revealing profound truths about how God positions us for His purposes. The central theme explores 'unclaimed anointings'—those moments when God shows us His supernatural power but we hesitate to pick up what He's placed before us. Through the imagery of Moses removing his shoes, throwing down his staff, and then picking it up again transformed, we discover that God doesn't need what we have; rather, we need to release it to Him so He can multiply it for kingdom purposes. The sermon beautifully illustrates this through the missionary story of Peter, a soccer player in Fiji who left his career to enter Bible school, eventually planting churches in unreached communities. What makes this message especially compelling is the reminder that the burning bush was already on fire before Moses noticed it—God is already moving, already working, and He's simply waiting for us to turn aside and position ourselves where He can use us. The call to 'pick up the snake by the tail' challenges us to do what seems uncomfortable or even foolish by natural standards, trusting that when we give God the ordinary things in our hands, He transforms them into instruments of supernatural power.
