Topic : Jesus Came To Save The Lost.

Memory Verse : ‭Luke 19:10: For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Bible Reading : ‭Luke 15:4-6 NIV‬. Key Verse : v4.

“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’

When Jesus Christ was on earth doing his earthly ministry, he was free with all kinds of people in order to reach them. Because of the way he mingled and related with notable sinners in his days, religious leaders of his days and teachers of the law became uncomfortable with his style of ministry and began to complain about it. Jesus being God knowing what was going on in their minds began to open their eyes to understand that those sinners were the primary target of his ministry, in order to restore them to their maker and God at the end of it all. “Many dishonest tax collectors and other notorious sinners often gathered around to listen as Jesus taught the people. This raised concerns with the Jewish religious leaders and experts of the law. Indignant, they grumbled and complained, saying, “Look at how this man associates with all these notorious sinners and welcomes them all to come to him!”” Luke 15:1-2 TPT.

In response to their grumblings Jesus had to use the parable of the lost sheep and prodigal son to drive home the point that he came to the earth simply to seek and save men who were lost in their sins, as to give them a new life in himself. When men created by God to love, live for and serve his purpose on earth liive contrary, it means they are lost. To be lost when a man has a physical address and can always be seen by men busy with activities is to live a wasted life. Any man living for himself, who doesn’t care to know what God wants from him while he lives here on earth is wasting. If the person should die without retracing his steps back to his creator and to serve or fulfill the purpose for which God brought him to the earth, he will discover in eternity that he wasted his days on earth. Just as the aircraft that gets lost from the radar or control system will always end in fatality, every man that looses touch with his creator, who lives for himself is bound to end as an eternal disaster.

Today Jesus Christ is reaching out to all that cares to listen to share his love with each and every one of us. His love for men was so strong that he couldn’t avoid men even in their sins, rather he is still reaching out to men even in our days through his servants across the world who has become his mouthpiece. Jesus is still walking the surface of the earth using divine messengers. ““He answered, ‘Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’ “ ‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’ “He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’ ”” Luke 16:27-31.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus because you are the source of true life. Today, open the eyes of my understanding to comprehend the depth of love you have for me that made you die to save me from destruction. Because you died for me, I will live to fulfill your purpose all my days in Jesus precious name….. Amen🙏🏿.

Topic : A Return To The Lord.

Memory Verse :‭Isaiah 54:14. In righteousness you will be established: Tyranny will be far from you; you will have nothing to fear. Terror will be far removed; it will not come near you.

Bible Reading : ‭Isaiah 54:11-13 NIV‬. Key Verse: v11.

“Afflicted city, lashed by storms and not comforted, I will rebuild you with stones of turquoise, your foundations with lapis lazuli. I will make your battlements of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones. All your children will be taught by the Lord, and great will be their peace.

The condition of the nations and people of God at any point in time depends on how they are able to identify and flow with God’s purpose. When men discover, agree with and walk in God’s plan for their lives the reap his favor which guarantees their safety, protection, prosperity and blessing. When they walk contrary, they open up themselves to all forms of attack and divine judgement. In the midst of all this, God’s love and commitment to the well being of man whom he created is never in doubt. This was revealed in full measure by his giving up of his son, to stand in for as many as will believe in him in our days, so that the punishment for sin which we deserved be born by him, so that ourselves can go free. In the old testament, the people of Israel was a type of role model in our relationship with God the way the church is today. They were chosen from among the nations as God’s first born or preferred people. They had a covenant relationship with him which began with Abraham the father of faith and made way for a better at the entrance of Jesus Christ to unfold a new covenant.

Here in the book of Isaiah we see God’s assurance for his children who returns to him from the paths of rebellion which provokes his wrath and cause men to labor under his judgment. Like the prodigal son that we read about in Luke 15:11-24. Though the prodigal son wasted his father’s resources in careless living, when he came to his senses and returned home, the father’s response was as if he never did anything wrong. The father was overjoyed to have him back home and alive. Even the prodigal son himself was amazed by the unexpected reception he got, even to the displeasure of his other brother. ‭”“To me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So now I have sworn not to be angry with you, never to rebuke you again. Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” Isaiah 54:9-10.

Today the Lord’s arms are open to receive as many as went astray to their own ways, who are willing to return to him. For such men, they are making a decision deep down in their hearts that they will turn a new leaf and do what is right always. Isaiah 54:14 stated clearly that our establishment in blessing and safety must stand on the grounds of righteousness in order to be firm and stand the test of time. That is key to our total restoration and recovery wherever we encountered losses in the past. That is when the Lord himself will begin to decorate our lives with stuffs that men run after daily without much struggle. When we are submitted to his Spirit, he will be there always for us with divine direction that makes our journey daily very rewarding. Because he is the prince of peace, he will flood our hearts with his peace that is not regulated by circumstances. “For your Maker is your husband— the Lord Almighty is his name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth. The Lord will call you back as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit— a wife who married young, only to be rejected,” says your God.

In a surge of anger I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the Lord your Redeemer.” Isaiah 54:5-6, 8.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because of your great love for me that made you give up Jesus to save me. I return to you afresh today from any paths I threaded in that didn’t glorify you. From today as I do what is right, restore and rebuild my life in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Perpetual Victory And Blessing.

Memory Verse : 1 Peter 5:7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Bible Reading : 1 Peter 5:8-10×KJV. Key Verse : v10.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour; Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world. But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

The earth we live in is a spiritual battlefield. The real battle is between light and darkness. Those who are bound to overcome the darkness of this world must follow divine instructions. The enemy of our soul who is Satan has lost his place with God and has been condemned to destruction. In his rage, he doesn’t want to perish alone. He is looking for as many careless persons as he can drag into destruction with his doomed self. He is always on the prowl just like a lion looking for the unwatchful to devour because there is nothing like mercy in his dictionary. This understanding will help those who live by it to live careful and watchful in God’s presence. “And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;” Ephesians 6:17-18.

The only place you can fight Satan and prevail is in the place of prayer. He is an old serpent and very crafty therefore, the potent key to overcoming him always is divine wisdom. This wisdom of God is made available to us when we know how live in God’s presence and to walk in his commands and instructions. Truth is that no man who gets God involved in his battles looses any battle. God’s presence in our camp therefore guarantees our victory anywhere we find ourselves, the intensity of the battles of life notwithstanding. This is because we as people of God live by the victory of the cross which words can’t explain adequately, as acquired by our Lord Jesus, who is our commander in chief. “Yet even in the midst of all these things, we triumph over them all, for God has made us to be more than conquerors, and his demonstrated love is our glorious victory over everything!” Romans 8:37 TPT.

Finally we have to understand that every troubles and setbacks must give way for God’s glorious plan for our lives to thrive because heaven will not allow them to linger beyond bearable limits because of the faithfulness of the Lord towards us as his own. By the time God finishes with us, what the enemy meant for evil will suddenly turn around a work out strengthening which makes us more solid at the end. Not only that, our troubles as children of God which was meant to destroy, ends up establishing us in God’s purpose just like in the case Joseph and Mordecai. Another dimension troubles works in the lives of men in light is that it builds character in us thereby making us become just like the master himself. At the end, we will always see ourselves in the place of settlement or where we live in the answers to our prayers or in our dreams as the case may be. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” 1 Corinthians 2:9.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for what you did for us in Christ Jesus which can never be reversed. Thank you because everything the enemy meant for evil against me, you have turned around already for my lifting and establishment in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Be A Blessing.

Memory Verse :3 John 1:3. I was so happy when some fellow-Christians arrived and told me how faithful you are to the truth — just as you always live in the truth.

Bible Reading :3 John 1:24-6. GNB. Key Verse: v5.

Nothing makes me happier than to hear that my children live in the truth. My dear friend, you are so faithful in the work you do for your fellow-Christians, even when they are strangers. They have spoken to the church here about your love. Please help them to continue their journey in a way that will please God.

One of the qualities God rewards in any man especially his children is faithfulness. It is also one of the yardsticks that heaven uses to measure success in whatever he commits to our care in the course of our service to him and the brethren. In 3rd John we see two types of men : the first person was Gaius who was being commended for his good works of obidience exhibited to or among the brethren which was full of love and in faithfulness too. His posture and activities was on the lips of others who was full of appreciation and their father in the Lord who was elder John had to acknowledge his commendable activities among the brethren and was blessing him for making his work easy. On the other side of the devide was another individual called Diotrephes who was walking contrary and in rebellion to the instructions of the elder and father and yet trying to usurp leadership and cause damages among the brethren through his rebellious activities.

Today as a child of God, you must make sure you don’t rock the boat and make the work of leaders difficult. Men who walk contrary are proud and unteachable. Some of them try to take power in rebellion therefore making the work cumbersome. Such people attract wrath instead of blessing of God at the end of the day. The book of James 4v6 submits that God resists or are into open combat with the proud and rebellious. Now think of where or whom a man can run to when God is fighting him??? If Satan, men or any others power fight you, you can always run to God for help, but when God himself fights a man, there will certainly be no hiding place because none can deliver from his mighty hands. ‭”In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.” 1 Peter 5:5-6 NIV‬.

Today, we must learn to be builders anywhere we find ourselves. We have to learn to live lives that will impact positively on everyone around us. Men should be able to give good testimony of us even when we are absent. Leaders we work under should feel blessed to have men like us in their team who makes their assignment easier. When we serve faithfully, we attract his blessings which attracts grace that makes men to prosper, spirit, soul and body, as the elder prayed into the life of beloved Gaius.‭

“The elder, To my dear friend Gaius, whom I love in the truth. Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.” 3 John 1:1-3 NIV‬.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for every opportunity to serve in your kingdom. From today, help me to be humble and faithful in everything I do for you. Let my life be such that impact and bless others in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Be Determined.

Memory Verse : Hebrews 12:3. Think of what he went through; how he put up with so much hatred from sinners! So do not let yourselves become discouraged and give up.

Bible Reading : Hebrews 12:1-3 GNB. Key Verse: v2.

As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses round us. So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right-hand side of God’s throne.

Most times when I look at the record of men that walked with God of old as contained in his word, I feel challenged. The fact is that many of them had nobody they understudied, nobody to draw any form of inspiration from their documented experience with God, yet they had such excellent record that ourselves who are privileged to be reading their exploits in the kingdom are struggling to meet up with or duplicate. For example, a man like Abraham who came from an idol worshipping background began to hear God while in that idol infested environment and he mustered enough courage to follow the instructions of the almighty and not what was popular among the people where he found himself. When we read Hebrews 11, we see an endless catalogue of men of old who dared to be different in their lifetime and that became a point of separation for kingdom greatness and glory. Having seen their records, we don’t have any reason to fail.

“It was faith that made Abel offer to God a better sacrifice than Cain’s. Through his faith he won God’s approval as a righteous man, because God himself approved of his gifts. By means of his faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead. It was faith that kept Enoch from dying. Instead, he was taken up to God, and nobody could find him, because God had taken him up. The scripture says that before Enoch was taken up, he had pleased God. No one can please God without faith, for whoever comes to God must have faith that God exists and rewards those who seek him.” Hebrews 11:4-6. I just want us to look at these two characters briefly. Enoch was so faithful in following the Lord that God decided that he must not go the way of every mortal man he created because the fall, which is death. God decided to take him to be with him without seeing death. He was the first to experience rapture. This means that can change his own rules because of a man. Looking at Abel his sacrifice or giving was an act of worship that heaven had respect for, and that was the reason for acceptance and approval while Cain failed to obey God completely. A friend the other day told me the story of a woman of God around whom God instructed to give someone who wasn’t close to her #250, 000. She thought within her, “how can I give someone that’s not close to me #250′, 000 just like that for doing nothing” . She gave the person #100, 000 at the end of the day. Same day, when it was evening, she had lost #500, 000. Now she was looking at the rewards of men and not of God and therefore became faithless and disobeyed God. The 100k she gave was wasted, just like in the case of Saul.

Today I don’t know the challenges you are facing trying to please God. Remember that someone had been there before you, yet he/she conquered through obedience to the master. You can’t afford to be recorded among those who fail. Success here is a matter of choice. When you determine to overcome, heaven will help you where you can’t help yourself. Men of old and their records or testimonies are speaking words of encouragement to us anytime we feel like fainting or throwing in the towel. Remember that when we don’t obey divine instructions completely, we walk in outright obedience. Never forget that every act of obedience to divine instructions launches you into new realms of blessing and favor with the master. Remember that there is no reward or blessing for anyone who gives up, even at the last minute. Truth is that if those men we read could make it in their days, we can also make it in our days. The Spirit of God is always there to help us, ask him for help anytime you need it.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because no one following you fails in life. Like men of old help me to walk with you in my days and to please you. Let your Spirit be close to me always to instruct and to help me. Thank you for seeing through life in victory in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Living In Union With Christ.

Memory Verse :‭James 4:5.
Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? (NIV)

Ephesians 2:5-7 GNB. Key Verse : v6.

that while we were spiritually dead in our disobedience he brought us to life with Christ. It is by God’s grace that you have been saved. In our union with Christ Jesus he raised us up with him to rule with him in the heavenly world. He did this to demonstrate for all time to come the extraordinary greatness of his grace in the love he showed us in Christ Jesus.

Christianity is a life of spiritual separation made possible by the work of the cross. On the cross, Jesus paid fully for our sins with his blood, so that can be released from the camp of the enemy who takes men captive using sin as a bait. After Jesus secured our release from the camp of the devil by his shed blood, he put his Spirit in us to help us carry his presence anywhere we go the rest of our lives. His Spirit living in us now helps us to live victorious when we follow his leading daily. “Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,. To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.” Galatians 4:3-6 KJV.

The implication of what Christ did for us is that we have become one with him in the spirit. We have become his look like as members of the family or household of God. What Jesus did can be compared to marriage in the natural world. In a marriage, two different people from two different backgrounds and orientation (sometimes) comes together under the umbrella of marriage and becomes one in everything they do. Being with Christ therefore is a life of partnership with God in order to execute his will on earth and not our personal plans. The primary purpose of this heavenly union is that we as believers in Christ and his purpose on earth makes ourselves available to him as channels through which he can now bring to pass those things he intends to do in on earth among men. “At all times we carry in our mortal bodies the death of Jesus, so that his life also may be seen in our bodies. Throughout our lives we are always in danger of death for Jesus’ sake, in order that his life may be seen in this mortal body of ours.!This means that death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.” 2 Corinthians 4:10-12.

This union or partnership with the master and saviour grants us access to certain benefits, rights and privileges that makes our lives beautiful. One of benefits of partnering or living in union with the almighty is that his presence in our lives works to preserves us from the onslaught of the evil one, when we live by his instructions. Again his Spirit living in us grants us access to deep truths in the spirit realm. By the help of the Spirit working in us, divine wisdom is always made available to us that gives us an edge over ordinary people in everything we do just like Daniel in Babylon. On another important note, as members of God’s family through this union, all the blessings of God that that available with as creator becomes our portion to take advantage of and have a good earthly life in victory all our days. “Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world. Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be his through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before him. Because of his love” Ephesians 1:3-4.

Prayer : Thank you Lord Jesus for the price you paid with your blood to redeem me. Thank you for giving me your Spirit to live by and bringing me into a life of union with you. Thank you for all the benefits I enjoy in you in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic :Jesus Is The True Light.

Memory Verse : John 8:12. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Bible Reading :John 1:7-9 KJV. Key Verse: v9.

The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

Jesus Christ is the gift of God to mankind. Before he came to the earth in human form, darkness and his kingdom thought they will have their way here on earth. But God in his wisdom demonstrated his supremacy over his creation and the affairs of men by introducing light who is the antidote to any form of darkness. Men who rejects Jesus from being king over their lives and affairs labour under the burdens of Satan who is darkness personified. John came on time and bore witness to this great light of God that came to deliver men from religious darkness and all forms of confusion that befell mankind because of the fall. Jesus came to reveal as well as execute God’s plan of salvation for mankind. Through him we have understanding of how to be restored to a life of fellowship with the father and are empowered to live our lives to please the father. “Some, however, did receive him and believed in him; so he gave them the right to become God’s children. They did not become God’s children by natural means, that is, by being born as the children of a human father; God himself was their Father. John 1:12-13 GNB.

Jesus as light of the world has dimensions of manifestation of direction and clarity of purpose in his operations. One of those dimensions was revealed in John chapter 8, when a woman who was caught in adultery was brought to him. The accussers of the woman sought his permission to stone her to death. They didn’t understand the fact that he came to turn the table and usher in grace and mercies of God to as many that could run to him for help instead of judgement as prescribed by the laws of Moses. “Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.” When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”” John 8:10-12 NIV‬.

In same John chapter 9, we saw another dimension of this great light in healing the man that was blind from birth. He came to introduce us to a life victory over sin, Satan, sickness and every negativity we can think of in this life, John 9:1-7. In John chapter 11, we can see another dimension of this light that knows the end from the beginning. He knows what to do per time to bring glory to the father. Following him guarantees our safety in the journey of life. “His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.” John 11:8-10.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving us Jesus your son to illuminste our paths on earth. From today give me understanding and help me to take advantage of every dimensions of glory available in Christ, as to live victorious here on earth by him in Jesus precious name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Topic : Authentic Instrument Of Change.

Memory Verse :1 Thessalonians 1:9. All those people speak about how you received us when we visited you, and how you turned away from idols to God, to serve the true and living God

Bible Reading : 1 Thessalonians 1:3-5 GNB. Key Verse: v3.

For we remember before our God and Father how you put your faith into practice, how your love made you work so hard, and how your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ is firm. Our brothers and sisters, we know that God loves you and has chosen you to be his own. For we brought the Good News to you, not with words only, but also with power and the Holy Spirit, and with complete conviction of its truth. You know how we lived when we were with you; it was for your own good. firm.

The beauty of Christianity is in changed lives. Jesus came to seek as to save lost men. The gospel is meant to be an instrument of reconciling men back to God because of what Jesus did. Any work men do in the name of God that cannot change or transform men is therefore compromised. “For the message about Christ’s death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost; but for us who are being saved it is God’s power. The scripture says: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and set aside the understanding of the scholars.” So then, where does that leave the wise? or the scholars? or the skilful debaters of this world? God has shown that this world’s wisdom is foolishness! For God in his wisdom made it impossible for people to know him by means of their own wisdom. Instead, by means of the so-called “foolish” message we preach, God decided to save those who believe.” 1 Corinthians 1:18.-21.

In our case study here with Thessalonian believers, there were visible changes in their lives after they believed. Apostle Paul and other witnesses could testify about, which was as a result of the fact that they accepted the message of the cross. They believed the truth and gave up their idols and religious livestyles which led nowhere to serve the living God. They put their faith to practical work by walking in love with fellow believers and other men. They stood firm in and with the Lord in their new found faith, challenges notwithstanding. Now, we need to note that the word of God is the authentic instrument to transform destinies, move men from unbelief to faith, from darkness to light, from being sinners to becoming saints, from being failures in this life to becoming success stories,etc. “You imitated us and the Lord; and even though you suffered much, you received the message with the joy that comes from the Holy Spirit. So you became an example to all believers in Macedonia and Achaia.” 1 Thessalonians 1:6-7.

Today we need to have a second look at our Christianity as individuals and check if we are truly being changed and transformed. Change can never happen, till we see the need for such. Many fill our Churches today especially here in Africa because they want to solve myriad of problems created by wickedness of men without caring about their eternal destiny. People are more careful about what happens here and now than eternity. We need to understand that the gospel is the only instrument that is configured by God to help every man to have a good life here on earth and at last spend eternity with him in light. As much as we care about our daily physical needs, we must begin to live conscious of our spiritual nature and take care of the destiny of the real man in us who is eternal. When we are willing, the Spirit of truth will always be there to help us where our efforts is not enough to see us through. “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12-13 KJV.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for giving us Jesus to die and save us. Today I submit myself to you afresh, search me and see things in me that doesn’t glorify you. Help me to do away with such. Thank you for making me a success story here on earth and after here in Jesus precious name

ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Friday September 6th, 2024.

Topic : Nobody Can Stop God.

Memory Verse : Exodus 14:30. On that day the Lord saved the people of Israel from the Egyptians, and the Israelites saw them lying dead on the seashore.

Bible Reading : Exodus 14:27-29 GNB. Key Verse : v29.

So Moses held out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the water returned to its normal level. The Egyptians tried to escape from the water, but the Lord threw them into the sea. The water returned and covered the chariots, the drivers, and all the Egyptian army that had followed the Israelites into the sea; not one of them was left. But the Israelites walked through the sea on dry ground, with walls of water on both sides.

When God came to Egypt to lead the Israelites out of the land of bondage, so that they could serve him without encumbrances, it looked like a mission impossible at first. Even the people of Israel whom the Lord sent Moses to, initially saw it as suicidal as the activities of Moses stirred up the anger of Pharaoh king of Egypt who escalated their sufferings in wickedness, by increasing their burden for dreaming liberty in the first place. “We are given no straw, but we are still ordered to make bricks! And now we are being beaten. It is your people that are at fault.” The king answered, “You are lazy and don’t want to work, and that is why you ask me to let you go and offer sacrifices to the Lord. Now get back to work! You will not be given any straw, but you must still make the same number of bricks.”” Exodus 5:16-18.

Pharaoh had the liberty of behaving as if he was incharge as long God permitted him in order to demonstrate his power through Moses. At first the magicians of Egypt enjoyed duplicating the miracles and signs God did through Moses. Later God took that privilege away as they couldn’t duplicate, neither could they counter Moses and Aaron, but used unkept promises to buy time. The day the Lord determined to move his people out of Egypt, he only gave a simple instruction to his servant Moses. When it was executed, Pharaoh and the Egyptians released God’s people in a haste before they could think, because their lives was at stake. “That same night the king sent for Moses and Aaron and said, “Get out, you and your Israelites! Leave my country; go and worship the Lord, as you asked. Take your sheep, goats, and cattle, and leave. Also pray for a blessing on me.” The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country; they said, “We will all be dead if you don’t leave.”” Exodus 12:30-32.

When they came to the red sea and was being pursued by Pharaoh and his presidential guard, their faith was put to test. Pharaoh was out to recapture the people of God, feeling he made a mistake releasing them in first place; but that was his Waterloo. God proved himself in a historic manner by making a highway in the sea for his people to pass, while Pharaoh and his army perished trying to imitate grace. Today understand that no power or name is formidable enough to stop what God is doing or is about to do in your life. Never allow yourself to be intimidated by the red sea of challenges before you or enemies that are in hot pursuit behind, as if they have what it takes to stop God. Remember always that what you need to overcome daunting challenges are simple instructions from the master. Never forget that every unrepentant pursuer of yourself and anyone walking with God is marked for destruction. “For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” Romans 9:15-16 KJV.

Prayer : Thank you Father God because you rule over the affairs of men to glorify yourself. Thank you because no power can stop your sovereign self. Thank because you are making a way for me in unbelievable circumstances. I worship you because every stubborn pursuers must perish for my sake in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Mark 12:28-37.
