Breakthrough< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 5

The children of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel have been afflicted by Egypt long enough. Breakthrough is about to take place and God has already moved through Moses, but the manifestation is yet to be in place. They were closer to breakthrough more than ever. As the LORD planned it, Moses approached Pharaoh to request for the release of the children of Israel. Pharaoh responded with anger and he requested for more work for the children of Israel. Exodus 5:9, ÒLet more work be laid on the men that they may labor in it, and let them not regard false words.Ó It is very challenging to see situations get more difficult when it appears you are closer to breakthrough. Moses was supposed to be getting them out, not getting them down. The children of Israel requested from Pharaoh the reasons for addition of work. Pharaoh responded, Exodus 5:17, ÒBut he said, ÔYou are idle! Idle! Therefore you say, ÔLet us go and sacrifice to the LORD.ÕÓ Pharaoh added more to their affliction. You have come a long way, it does not matter how long you have been through, it only matters that God is a true God. Is it certain to you that GodÕs deliverance is a certainty? Ignore all the noise of the liar, hold on to God. You are almost there, and the closer you get, the more it may seem you are losing. In the hand of God you are a winner, your breakthrough is at hand.
