FAITH CAPSULE:Do not to stifle your cry unto God when you find the agent of bondage right behind you.

Exodus 14
 
God was going to deliver the Israelite out of the bondage of over four hundred years and He specifically warned Moses stating, “But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand.So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.” (Exodus 3:19-20) Indeed and in truth, the hand of God was heavy upon the Egyptians when Pharaoh refused to let go the Israelites. The heaviness of God’s hand brought form of destructive plagues upon the land of Egypt. Despite the heaviness of God’s hand before the eyes of Pharaoh and his people, Pharaoh would not release the children of Israel to a permanent freedom. Reluctantly, Pharaoh let the children of Israel go because when heaviness of God’s hand upon their lives and their land became unbearable. After releasing the Israelites, the Egyptians turned around and began to pursue them.
Are you experiencing the kind of Israelite’s challenges in the hand of Pharaoh? After all the years that God had brought you out of all that represented Egypt, Egypt has not taken a step back behind you; Egypt is still pursuing you just as it pursued the children of Israel. The agent of Egypt (house of bondage) is closely behind you in an attempt to terminate the calling and divine schedule of God in your life.
For the children of Israel, Pharaoh pursued them. He would not let go; he wanted to take them back as slaves. Does your situation sound like that of the Israelites? Do not to stifle your cry unto God when you find the agent of bondage right behind you. The children of Israel cried, and God heard. It is written inJoshua 24:6-7, “So they cried out to the Lord; and He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, brought the sea upon them, and covered them. And your eyes saw what I did in Egypt. Then you dwelt in the wilderness a long time.” As you cry out to the same God of the Israelites, your deliverance shall also come with speedy manifestation. God will put darkness between you and all that Egyptrepresents; the bondage of spiritual stagnation, sickness, financial hardship, and marriage challenges that are keeping you from total freedom. The sea will come upon them not only to get them wet, but to cover them so that the Egypt in your life will not rise again concerning all that touches you.
 
Prayer for today: Ask God to attend to the voice of your cry unto Him.
