FAITH CAPSULE: Whatever God builds, no man can bring it down.

Exodus 1, 2

Whatever the enemy has put in place to break you, God is not limited from using it to make you. The Bible records that a new king came to power in Egypt who did not know Joseph. The king not knowing Joseph inculcated inside of him the fear of the growth of the children of Israel’s population.
As a result of fear, the king of Egypt passed a law that put the children of Israel under the affliction of taskmasters. The evil one will always answer to its name which is evil. Also a child of God is not invincible for the evil want to attempt but definitely in position to overcome. Book of Psalm 34:19 admonished us, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” Are you one that is experiencing the pain of the evil in any area of life? It does not matter what the activity of the evil one is about, as long as you keep eyes on the Lord, His word of deliverance will answer for you.

Whatever God builds, no man can bring it down. Pharaoh’s effort to terminate the growth of the children of Israel by increasing their affliction resulted in their multiplication. The appointed taskmasters’ effort failed and the direction to midwives to kill every male son could not interrupt but provoke the plans of God to manifest. Pharaoh, having tried what he knew to reduce where God is increasing made a new command, “So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, ‘Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.’”  (Exodus 1:22) It was after this new command to terminate the growth the children of Israel that Moses was born. Despite the wicked command of Pharaoh, Moses was born and the mother tried to hide him from the wicked command of Pharaoh. The bible recorded that, “…when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river’s bank.” (Exodus 2:3) It was in the same water that Moses was picked up by the daughter of the chief commander Pharaoh.  Evidently, Moses’ deliverance was God at work. Moses was not only delivered but preserved and raised by Pharaoh in the palace of Pharaoh where law was made to kill every male child. On top of it all, Pharaoh also gave name to Moses his name meaning “Because I drawn him out of the water.” (Exodus 2:10) All that the enemy has set to use in breaking you will rather make you. Every hand that has gone out to destroy you will rather deliver you for the glory of God. God alone will always have the final say.
