FAITH CAPSULE: God’s acknowledgement is all that is needed to terminate your entire struggle from bondage.
Exodus 2:23-25, 3:1-10, Isaiah 6,
What or who is it that needs to die before you gain motion from every area of stagnation? It is written concerning Isaiah, “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!” And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. So I said…” (Isaiah 6:1-4) It took the death of King Uzziah for Isaiah to begin to see, hear and speak where he could not before the death of King Uzziah. It was after the death of King Uzziah that Isaiah was brought to the ground where he could not operate before. After the death of Uzziah, Isaiah’s lips were touched, his iniquity was taken away, and it was also the time he answered the calling of the Lord’s assignment for his life. The children of Israel were in bondage for over four hundred years without any mention of there attempt to come out of bondage. It could have been that they were hiding the pain or they were suffering in silence. Also, it could have been that they could not see what God wanted them to see. As a result of the death of the King of Egypt, the story of the children of Israel changed. Exodus 2:23, “Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out: and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.” The point here is, pray to God that any thing, any situation or any person that is representing the King of Egypt (King of Bondage), in your life should die a permanent death in your land. When the King of Egypt died in the land where the children of Israel had been in bondage, they were able to see the need to groan and cry for freedom. You need to be freed into God’s service, where bondage has been keeping you down and you remain stagnant. When the King died, the children of Israel moved God with a characterized call–a call that made God prone to act. Exodus 2:25, “And God looked upon the children of Israel and God acknowledge them.” God’s acknowledgement is all that is needed to terminate your entire struggle from bondage.
Prayer for today: Ask God that whatever has taken reign over your life, whatever is not of Him, whatever is representing the King of Egypt should die just as it was for the children of Israel.
