THE PLAN OF REDEMPTION

-

Exodus 3:8,22

So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land. It is a land flowing with milk and honey—the land where the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites now live.

Every Israelite woman will ask for articles of silver and gold and fine clothing from her Egyptian neighbors and from the foreign women in their houses. You will dress your sons and daughters with these, stripping the Egyptians of their wealth.”


One thing I have learnt about the Lord's intervention is that it comes with a full package. It is not just taking out of bondage but equipping you with what you need to prosper.


God shows up, and makes the oppressor a victim.


In our study today we see that God's plan for saving Israel also included them leaving with their wealth.


Exodus 3:22b

You will dress your sons and daughters with these, stripping the Egyptians of their wealth.”


Remember when Laban oppressed Jacob after he had worked so hard for him:


Genesis 31:6-7,9

You know how hard I have worked for your father,

but he has cheated me, changing my wages ten times. But God has not allowed him to do me any harm.

In this way, God has taken your father’s animals and given them to me.


We also see how Joseph who was wrongly accused and thrown into prison rose from being a slave to ruling over the entire nation.


Psalms 30:5b

Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.


No matter how powerful the oppressor is, our God is more superior and that oppressor must submit to His power, just as Pharaoh would find. All other powerful kings who boasted through scriptures learnt the hard way


So it is wisdom to put your trust in the Lord.


Do you know Him?


Exodus 3:14-15

God replied to Moses, “I am who I am. Say this to the people of Israel: I am has sent me to you.”

God also said to Moses, “Say this to the people of Israel: Yahweh, the God of your ancestors—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you. 

This is my eternal name, my name to remember for all generations.


If you do, He will come through for you.


It is our time for deliverance and it will be a total package.


May God's hand of favour come upon us afresh.


May God's deliverance come upon our land.


Glory to Yahweh.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
