FAITH CAPSULE: The increase of God in the life of one will gain the attention of the enemy.

Exodus 1

Life is full of ups and downs.
Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow is not a guarantee.
In life, there is no permanent condition.
God alone is permanent.
Power belongs to God.
When God increases, no one can reduce.
When God increases the life of one, an enemy will attempt to reduce it, but will fail.
The Bible records after the death of Joseph, “Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we; come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.” (Exodus 1:8-10)
Suddenly, the children of Israel became a threat to the new King of Egypt.
The blessings of the Israelites were the reason for the fear of the king of Egypt.
God blessed the Egyptians with an increase while the enemy attempted to reduce them.
Does this sound like your situation?
The increase of God will always entice the enemy to reduce it.The increase in the growth of the children of Israel gave the Egyptians attention with a wicked agenda as recorded in Exodus 1:13-14, “the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage—in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor.”
God is never asleep nor slumbering in His caring for His children.
God is a God who waits to act for His children who wait on Him.
God will act to deliver one who waits for God.
When God blesses, He adds no sorrow. (Proverbs 10:22)
God moved concerning the children of Israel when He heard their cry.
Despite the cries of the Israelites, the new king of Egypt did not stop at making life miserable for the children of Israel.
King went further and issued a command to kill every newborn son of the children of Israel.
Pharaoh meant evil with the attempt to terminate the children of Israel because of their growth.
The Pharaoh did not know that power belonged to God.
Have you specifically asked God concerning all that is causing you pain? With God, it is never too much or too late to cry out to God for deliverance.
Count on God, not on man, as the word encouraged, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” (Mark 10:27)  Are you willing to see God terminate all that represents Pharaoh that is hunting your life?

Prayer for today: Asking God that every agent of the wicked in your life shall encounter permanent termination.
