Was Moses stammerer?

Was Moses stammerer?

When the Creator sent Him to go to Egypt, he excused himself saying: 

•    Exo 4:10 (LEB) -> “And Moses said to Yahweh, "Please, Lord, I am not a man of words, neither recently nor in the past nor since your speaking to your servant, because I am heavy of mouth and of tongue."”.

•    Exo 6:12 -> “But Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, the people of Israel have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?””.

•    Exo 6:30 -> “But Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?””.

What did Moses mean? Many people say that he was stutterer. Nonetheless, take a look at what Stephen said:

•    Act 7:22 -> “And Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was mighty in his words and deeds.”

Therefore, Moses’ problem wasn’t stuttering. The problem with Moses is the same as we can see in most of the religious leaders today. They are excellent to preach sermons, give lecture. But, when the subject is debates, they are terrible:

•    They aren’t eloquent because the majority of them know the Holy Scripture only shallowly (most of their ken comes from extra-biblical sources) and, for this, can’t convince anybody;
•    They are heavy of mouth and tongue (uncircumcised lips) because, when they can’t win the confront, they use of sharp words to hurt their opponent (instead of fulfilling the verse below):
o    Tit 1:9 -> “holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able both to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict the gainsayers.”. 

If you observe the context, you will see that the Creator was sending Moses to confront pharaoh, king of Egypt.

Of course, it is a very difficult situation but, as the Creator promised to be with His mouth, he would be successful (as He was with Ezekiel’s mouth – Ez 3:26,27). As he didn’t accept readily the Creator’s calling, He wasn’t able to refrain his lips in Meribah (Psa 106:32-33).

The Creator desired to make perfect His power in Moses’ weakness (see 2Cor 12:9,10), but, due to the uncertainty of Moses, the Creator divided His unction between Moses and Aaron. As Aaron spoke well, he didn’t need the Creator’s operation so desperately (he wasn’t so dependent of Him).

For this sake, Moses didn’t have sufficient spiritual force to stay calm in Meribah and, for this, he was hampered to come into the promised land.

So, have a good day accepting what Jesus promised for you readily. Even if you don’t figure out His will or it wasn’t what you, at first, planned, give in on Jesus’ will and this will fulfill in you life:

•    Eph 3:20 -> “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,”.

Another reason is often put forth. All the men Who God used for a big work, had a period of dealing by God. The reason is that no man is actually equipped to do God's work, and if he/she wants to be effective, the first lesson is "I can't". To be a king second to Pharaoh, Joseph must be dealt with for nearly 20 years. To be king over Israel, David must face the bear and the lion, herd sheep, face Goliath and then face Saul's murderous intentions for 14 years. For the great job of leading God's People out of bondage, Moses must spend 40 years in the courts of Pharaoh. During that time he was schooled in physics that are still a mystery today - building the pyramids. Mose would have known that earth was round, its circumference an the seasons. He was a brilliant man and a strong personality. All can be used by God, but not when the man is the source.

The results of Moses' natural ability was murder. And he must flee instead of helping Israelites. For the next 40 years all Moses heard was the bleating of sheep. And the lessons learned on herding sheep must be learned in the "back-side" of the wilderness. What ever happened to him is not recorded, but the man "mighty in word and deed" had no confidence in himself. So it is with all men who would serve the Lord. You need a "wilderness" experience. Like Israel, the old generation that knew Egypt must die off. A New generation, spawned in a hot and dreary environment, must be produced. And so it is with the character of God's servant. The old must die and the new, supplied by God, must replace it. And usually the new is a total lack of confidence in the self.

God can use a capable man, but he must be tempered by the fires of trial.

May be this was like how Moses hit the rock when he was mad at the Jews.
