FAITH CAPSULE: In your learning, become an over-comer; not an over-concerned believer.

Exodus 14

Whenever God is in your journey, every dead end is always an open door to a new pulsating beginning. The children of Israel were coming out of bondage of over four hundred years and had not yet covered enough distance to forget the land of bondage when they suddenly ran into a dead end. To the children of Israel, it was indeed a dead end. In the physical realm, it was indeed a dead end. However, for God, it was an open door to a new beginning. God spoke to Moses, “…Speak to the children of Israel, that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zemphon; you shall camp before it by the sea. For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, ‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’ Then I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD.’ And they did so.” (Exodus 14:1-4)Whatever has bewildered you, whatever has closed you up; consider it to be a representative of the Pharaoh. For the children of Israel, Pharaoh was terminated. The same God of the children of Israel will not allow your Pharaoh to escape a permanent termination. Can you see how God delivered the children of Israel? What you see in the word believe to have received it and it shall become yours. Only God will take glory for all that is about to open up on your behalf. The Bible is written for our learning. Take some time to hear and learn from Him through the pages of Bible. In your learning, become an over-comer; not an over-concerned believer. Let Him fight your battle because He will fight it to finish. He is the Mighty Warrior! Trust in the word of His mouth at your present ground where you have been bewildered and He will see you through. Remember that God hears every uttered word negative or positive. Avoid complaining and confessing negativity like the children of Israel did in their journey.“Then they said to Moses, ‘Because there were no graves in Egypt, have you taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you so dealt with us, to bring us up out of Egypt? Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.’” (Exodus 14:11-12)God does not run out of mercy if you do not run out of His mercy. God will make a way for you.
