Read chapter 11
We remember back in the book of Exodus that Moses' father-in-law gave him the advice to appoint leaders over 10,000s, 1,000s, 100s, 10s which created a huge leadership team. Yet later here in Numbers we see "the burdens
that Moses still had to bear became so heavy that he took his complaint to
God. The Lord responded by telling him to gather
seventy men out of the elders of Israel and bring them unto the tabernacle of
the congregation that they might stand with him there...So it was that these seventy men had a position which was out of Moses.
He was in them. They partook of what he was - his position, his substance,
his very essence. This is what Stephen was talking about when He said of
Moses: "This is he, that was in the ekklesia in the wilderness" (Acts 7 :38).
He was telling them that Moses was in the seventy, for in fact they were the
body of Moses, or his substance, which is what the word body means. And it
is my understanding that this is what the dispute was about when Michael
the archangel contended with Satan over "the body of Moses" (Jude 1:9).
Satan was most eager to seize control of the seventy men" (Otis Q. Sellers, Bible Teacher).
Are you in a place of leadership to heavy to bear your own? How can you delegate other leaders to help carry the load while still being able "to stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together"(Philippians 1:27)?
