ACCESS THROUGH ASSISTANCE

God said to Moses, “Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. And Moses alone shall come near the Lord, but they shall not come near; nor shall the people go up with him.” Exodus 24:1-2

Notice that specific people were invited to meet with the Lord, and that Moses alone was to go nearer, while the others waited. At no time did God invite Joshua to meet with him. But see verse 13 and 14; "So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Indeed, Aaron and Hur are with you. If any man has a difficulty, let him go to them.”

Joshua, being Moses' personal assistant, had access to where the elders, and even Aaron the High Priest could not enter! Amazing. I've seen personal assistants travel around the world with their bosses to places where they may never have been to in their own capacity. Little wonder, the anointing was transferred to Joshua; he had been everywhere with Moses.

Who's God asking you to assist? Don't feel too big and important to do it! You never know which doors the Lord intends to open for you through that; you never know what grace the Lord intends to transfer to you: yes, you might just get to the top and remain there by assisting another man get there!
