There are two ways I have found that people look at the beginning of this chapter where God tells Moses that Moses will be made like a God to Pharaoh. The first is that Moses is going to be seen as a god, in the same way Pharaoh was thought of as a god by the people of Egypt. The second is that Moses would be seen as God's ambassador to Pharaoh. This second one is more palatable to those who can't see God lifting up someone to the place only He is to be in even if it's in the eyes of a heathen king. Either way, God is telling Moses that Pharaoh is not greater than you and eventually Pharaoh will see Moses as greater than himself. I appreciate that God is reminding Moses that he has nothing to fear.
