Text: Exodus 3:10-15

v-10-“Come now therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh, that you may bring My people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

v-11- But Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?

v-12-So He said,” I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain”

v-13-Then Moses said to God,” Indeed when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, “ The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, “WHAT IS HIS NAME, WHAT SHALL I SAY

TO THEM?”

V-14-And God said to Moses “I am who I am”, and He said, thus you Shall say to the children of Israel,” I am who sent me to you”

v-15-Moreover God said to Moses ”Thus you shall say to the children of Israel,” The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, has sent me to you, this is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations”

“What is Your name,

What shall I Tell Them?”Exodus 3:10-15

To say that “HE is God” without knowing what the word “HE”

means,is of no use of it; God is only a name  To know about a thing, is of no use, except

you do it. The supreme need of man is GOD
