MIRACLE NOT MAGIC< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 7

Remember this day that He alone is worthy of our praises. He is the God of gods, the King of kings and He alone inhabits eternity and dwells in the praises of His people. Are you ready to praise Him today? If your answer is a resounding yes, you have invited Him into all that are before you. He is God of miracles; He is a miracle working God. Miracle works are not magic. Miracles are of God, while magic is a device of the enemy. Miracles lasts forever and run deep. If magic glitters it will only be for a moment and magic never lasts neither does it runs deep. Despite not being able to see in the physical that you have come too far and close to your breakthrough, let not magic come into play. Magic will fail you no matter how it glitters; waiting on the miracle hand of the Almighty God is the only way out. Pharaoh was reluctant of letting the children of Israel go and serve the Lord at the request of God through Moses, ÒSo Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as the LORD commanded. And Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent. 11But Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers; so the magicians of Egypt, they also did in like manner with their enchantments.Ó (Exodus 7:10-11) The magic worked for the magicians and Pharaoh, but could not answer to serve the purpose of matching with the hand of God in the rod that was in Aaron and MosesÕ hand. Any power demonstration outside of the name of God will not stand even when it is present. The enemy can copy but he cannot coordinate for the result to be established. Imagine what would have been the reaction to the children of Israel if they were in the place at the time the magicianÕs rods were dropped down and became serpents just like that of the rod of God in MosesÕ hand? Doubt would have built up in the hearts of the children of Israel and with an increase of complaining. Magic could not last as the rod of the magician failed to survive. ÒFor every man threw down his rod, and they became serpents. But AaronÕs rod swallowed up their rods.Ó (Exodus 7:12) If you will look up and hope in the Lord your miracle will come at a set time and every distraction of the wise men, the sorcerers and the magicians of Egypt will not have its way in hindering your breakthrough. Magic will fail but miracles will not fail you.
