FAITH CAPSULE: You owe Him all your focus.

Exodus 14
 
Coming out of dangerous challenges into another dangerous challenge is not too much for God to extend deliverance. Actually, as regard to dangerous challenge or afflictions, the word of God cautions, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out them all.” (Psalm 34:19) The children of Israel were not an exemption to the truth of how affliction comes and goes by God’s delivering power. The children of Israel, fresh from over four hundred years of bondage, entered into another juncture of affliction; into a giant obstacle that was huge enough to have them terminated. You can imagine them coming out of that bondage with miracles and favor bestowed upon them by their Egyptian masters, through the hand of God. It should be expected that nothing would cause them to be moved by fear. The moment they realized a new danger (the Red Sea) in front, and their former masters (Pharaoh and his horsemen) chasing from behind, and there was no turning left or right, they became afraid. The children of Israel instantly forgot to remember what God had done to get them to where they were in their journey. Where you are at this point of your journey does not matter, but He that brought you to where you are is the One that matters. You owe Him all your focus. If He chooses to terminate your journey or to see you through it, no devil under heaven can stop Him.
In the case of the Israelites at the Red Sea, Moses said to them in Exodus 14:13, “And Moses said to the people, do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today, for the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.” The Lord said it, and the Lord did it. What He said to them He is speaking to you. Do you see any that represents the Egyptians coming up behind you, chasing you? Engage Moses response to the children of Israel: 1. Do not be afraid, 2. Stand still, 3. See your salvation (even though it is not at hand, but believe it is there), 4. When you begin to see it, you have provoked His hand, 5. He will do it. Do you believe? If you will hold your peace by engaging Moses word to the Israelites, you will encounter same deliverance like that of the Israelites. Trust God that your own stubborn Pharaoh too will be permanently terminated. God is enough to fight your battle.

Prayer for today: Ask God to terminate all the forces that represents Pharaoh and his men in your life just as He did at the Red Sea for the Israelites.
