FAITH CAPSULE: Today, trust and hope that your day or midnight hour’s deliverance will answer at full scale.

Exodus 12

Outstretch hand of God is His stretch out hand that will do more than any mighty hand. Pharaoh’s mighty hand was not enough to deny Israelites’ deliverance of over four hundred years of bondage. God told Moses, “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 outstretch hand of God moved, “And it came to pass at midnight that the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.  So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.” (Exodus 12:29-30)
Daytime or midnight will answer with deliverance for man with obedience to God’s word. Is there any hour that challenging experience is your issue? With obedience to the word of God, it is certain that there is no bondage that will hold man down against appointed time of God’s deliverance.
Pharaoh reacted to God’s stretch hand of miracle at the midnight hour as recorded in Exodus 12:31-32, “Then he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel. And go; serve the Lord as you have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”  In addition to the Israelites freedom from the bondage at the midnight hour, favor of God backed the Israelites up. The Israelites were rewarded for their years of slave work. It is written, “And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.” (Exodus 12:36) Today, trust and hope that your day or midnight hour’s deliverance will answer at full scale. God will cause you to plunder your enemy to recover in all which enemy has stole from you.
Obedience to God’s command was the key of the Israelites’ deliverance from years of slavery. Bible recorded, “Then the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.” (Exodus 12:28) Act of obedience is engaging God’s word to experience God’s wonder. Focusing on God is seeing to hear and giving self continually to word of God.

Prayer for today: Ask for God’s mercy to give self continually to God’s word.
