FAITH CAPSULE: As a child of the Most High God, the difference will be very clear when Jesus comes back

Exodus 8:20:32, 9:1-7

God spoke to Moses, “I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” (Exodus 3:12)  God repeated His message to Moses and it calls for sacrificing, “The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.” (Exodus 3:18) Serving God is a sacrifice; sacrifice is serving God. God emphasized through Moses that His reason for bringing out the Israelites was to go and serve (sacrifice) Him. Bondage, captivity are some of the agent in place for man not serve (sacrifice) God. Just like the Israelites were brought out of the house of bondage to serve Him so He brought us out of the avenue of sin to serve Him.

Living life is all about serving God. Are you serving Him? Is there any representative of Pharaoh that is set to deny your serving God? Power belongs to God and that make it impossible for the enemy to be more powerful. God sent Moses, and Pharaoh declined to let the children of Israel go. Disobedient and hardness of the heart will always provoke the hand of God. As a result of Pharaoh’s hardness of heart, God sent plagues upon the land.

It is written, “And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the land. 23 I will make a difference^] between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.”(Exodus 8:22-23)   God does not waste word and His word shall not return to Him without performing (Isaiah 55:11) Exodus 8:24, “And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies.”  All that will not serve God and that which will not allow man to serve God shall have the same experience just as the whole land of Egypt. Egypt did serve God and also disallowed the Children of Israel to go and serve God. As a child of the Most High God, the difference will be very clear when Jesus comes back to take those that are always on His side. If you are living for the Lord, be rest assured that in the wicked world you will not be touched, but separated in the time of destruction.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to continuously serve God and be a reasonable living sacrifice to God.
