ABOUT THE THIRD
Exodus 2:1-10

Something about the third has to do with redemption, breakthrough and resurrection. The life of Moses, Nehemiah and the life Jesus Christ of Nazareth testifies to the miracle of the third. At the time Moses was born, the death sentence of Pharaoh for every son born by Hebrew women was in effect. As a result Moses, mother decided to hide him. Moses mother, “…Hid him for three months.” (Exodus 2:2) On the third month of hiding Moses from the death sentence of king Pharaoh, Moses ended up in the compassionate care of the murderer’s palace when his mother, “… Took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.” (Exodus 2:3) On the third month, Pharaoh’s daughter saw the ark of bulrushes at the bank of river and when she opened it, “…She saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him and said, “This is one of the Hebrews’ children” (Exodus 2:6) Moses came out of hiding, redeemed on the third month. Nehemiah, heard about the great distress and reproach of his people; he also heard about the breakdown of the wall of Jerusalem. By virtue of the negativity of the news, he took it upon himself to enter into prayer and fasting. As the Lord will have it on his behalf, “…It came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before.” (Nehemiah 2:1). In the month of Nisan (March-April) the attention which Nehemiah gained from King Artaxerxes delivered into his hand all that was needed for him to move forward in the quest for rebuilding and redeeming the damages incurred at the hand of enemies over his land and his people. In the third month the motion to redemption was activated. Among all the number of days, it was on the third day that Jesus our Lord and savior chose to stun the devil when He resurrected. The miracle of the third cannot be undermined, God does nothing by accident. What is it that you have been gonging through in the past three days, three months, or three years that requires heaven’s attention? Do you want to consider reminding Him about the work of His hand? He stated in Isaiah 43:26, “Put me in remembrance; let us contend together; state your case that you may be acquitted.” Put Him in remembrance, He did it in the past and He is still doing it in the present. It is your third day and your miracle is here.
 
Prayer for today: Ask the Ancient of days, to let you enter your miracle of third day. Speak against the hindering mountain of three days, three months or three years that has kept you down.
