FAITH CAPSULE: God alone will always have the final say.
Exodus 1, 2
Under heaven, there is no invincible for devil’s agenda, but it is certain that man that is dwelling and abiding in the Lord is marked to certainly be an 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, if you keep eyes on the Lord, His word of deliverance will answer for you. Job, a man with integrity, blameless and upright before God was located by Satan. God had hedge around him but, yet Satan attacked him with afflictions, but God delivered him in it all. Keep it in mind, settle in the word of God for your deliverance to preserve you.
Whatever the enemy has put in place to break you, God is not limited from using it to make you. The Bible recorded 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. The fear of Israelites made the king of Egypt to established law that put the children of Israel under the affliction of taskmasters. The evil one miscalculated when he located Israelites with evil agenda.
Whatever God builds, no agent of evil can bring it down. Pharaoh’s effort to terminate the growth of Israelites with affliction turned to multiplication of the Israelites. 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, with new law to reduce where God is increasing caused him to make 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) At the time of Pharaoh’s devises to terminate the growth of the children of Israel, Moses was born. Mother of Moses hide him from Pharaoh’s evil command. It is written, “…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) By God’s intervention Moses was saved from river by the daughter of Pharaoh. Evidently, Moses’ deliverance was God at work. Imagine how God works! Ultimately, Moses was delivered, was 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 meaning “Because I drawn him out of the water.” (Exodus 2:10) All that the enemy has set to break turned out to make a possible deliverance for Moses. Every hand that has gone out to destroy you will rather deliver you for the glory of God.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God for deliverance and preservation in the face of wicked agenda.
