FAITH CAPSULE: God’s increase in man’s life will entice the enemy’s attention.

Exodus 1

The Bible recorded after the death of Joseph, “Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we; come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land.” (Exodus 1:8-10) Suddenly, the children of Israel became a threat to the new King of Egypt. God’s blessing of the children of Israel was the cause of fear for the Egyptian’s new king. God’s blessing was increasing the children of Israel while the enemy attempted to reduce them. Does this sound like your situation? God’s increase in man’s life will entice the enemy’s attention to terminate man. God’s over man’s life will increase the attempt of enemy to reduce man. God’s increase of the growth of the children of Israel gave the Egyptians attention with wicked agenda as recorded in Exodus 1:13-14, “the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage—in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor. God is never asleep nor slumber caring for His children. God is a God that waits to act for His children that wait on Him. God will act to deliver man that waits for God. When God blesses, He add no sorrow. (Proverbs 10:22) God moved concerning the children of Israel when He heard their cry.
Despite the crying out of the Israelites, the new king of Egypt did not stop at making life miserable for the children of Israel. King went further and made command to kill every newborn son of the children of Israel. If you will let the enemy have its way in your life, he will not let go but will go beyond making you miserable with attempt to kill and destroy. Pharaoh meant evil agenda in his attempt to terminate the children of Israel because of their growth but power belongs to God for the deliverance of the Israelites from the power of Pharaoh.
Have you specifically asked God concerning all that is causing you pain? With God, it is never too much or too late to cry out to God for deliverance. Count on God not on man as the word encouraged, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.” (Mark 10:27)  Are you willing to see God terminate every Pharaoh that is hunting your life? The Israelites came out of the bondage of over four hundred years in the hand of Pharaoh of Egypt; the mark of pain remained over the land of Egypt.

Prayer for today: Asking from God that every agent of the wicked in your life shall encounter God’s permanent termination.
