BIBLE
STUDY I
Topic:
A Higher Level of Relevance
Text:
Exodus 33 : 1-2
INTRODUCTION
The book of Exodus gives us a vivid
account of the movement of the people of Israel from one place to another with
a start off point being Egypt. Their movement though literally a movement from
captivity to liberty could also be described as movement from lower pedestal of
life to a higher one. The truth is that God is very much interested in placing
his children “high above all others”. “if you fully obey the Lord your God and
carefully follow all His commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set
you high above all the nations on earth” Deut.
28:1. Today if we are ready God will surely lead us to the topmost platform
of relevance, impact and importance in our respective callings.
The big question is “Are we ready”?
QUESTIONS

discuss the scriptural promises of higher levels for children of God in
relation to contemporary issues today? Deut.
28:1, 12-13, Deut. 26:19, Exodus 23:20, Isa. 58:14, Isa 60:1-3.

modesty in our quest for higher levels of relevance. James 4:6, I Peter 5:5-6, Philip 4:5-7.
4. What is the correlation between one’s
dream and higher level of relevance. Gen.

deposited in all His children strong potentials
to move on to higher places of relevance.
It takes a positive mindset and
ability to key into God’s word via admonitions, instructions and counsel to get
there. These is enough room for you to operate at the top. Brace up to be there
for the top is free.
MEMORY
VERSE
For exaltation comes neither from the
east not from the west nor from the south, but God is the judge : He puts down
one, and exalts another. Psalm 75:6-7.
