FAITH CAPSULE: At obedience of God’s word expect your midnight miracle.

Exodus 12

Midnight is an hour of taking the battle to the front of the enemy. The midnight hour is an hour of great deliverance when uncommon miracle by the outstretched hand of God is manifested. When God promised deliverance for the Israelites out of the bondage of over four hundred years, He 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) Through the pages of the Bible, there is no other wonder such as God’s outstretched hand against Pharaoh and his people at a midnight hour. Is there any area where you are experiencing bondage or stagnation?
Pharaoh reacted to the move of God’s outstretched hand of the midnight hour, “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.” (Exodus 12:31-32) In addition to the Israelites freedom from the bondage at the midnight hour, by the outstretched hand of God, they were also 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) At your midnight hour, deliverance will answer at full scale. God will cause you to plunder your enemy by virtue of recovering all that has been stolen from you.
The key to the move of God’s outstretched hand on behalf of the Israelites was their obedience to God’s command through Moses. The word testifies, “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) Is there any act of obedience to be engaged before experiencing your midnight miracle of the outstretched hand of God? Obedience to God’s command is key to the manifestation of the midnight outstretches hand of God miracle.
