THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD II
Memorise:
And the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders: .. Deuteronomy 26:8
Read:
Joshua 4:1-3, 21-24
Message
When God's mighty hand works in favour of a fellow, family, or nation, it always leads to great blessings and favour. His mighty hand also brings total deliverance to captives and freedom to the oppressed. In Exodus 3:19, God told Moses that Pharaoh would not release the Israelites unless a mighty hand forces him. So, when God's mighty hand was revealed, the children of Israel experienced preservation, protection, light, and provision. Egypt, on the other hand, became a shadow of itself. This shows that while God's mighty hand works for His people, it works against any force that dares to position itself against the Lord or His people.
...Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice...And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not... Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God... - Exodus 8:17-19
In the Scripture above, the magicians in Egypt, who had earlier replicated the same wonders as Moses, acknowledged that the finger of God was truly at work in his life because they could no longer perform the wonders that God was doing through him. Despite this, Pharaoh stubbornly refused to back down from his decision to not let the Israelites go. That was until God's mighty hand descended upon him and his people. I pray that anyone who stubbornly opposes you will be visited by the mighty hand of God, in Jesus' name.
In today's Bible reading, when the Israelites crossed River Jordan, God's mighty hand was at work. After they had crossed over, Joshua declared that indeed, God made a way through River Jordan and brought them to the other side on dry land to show all the people of the earth that His hand is mighty (Joshua 4:24). God's mighty hand makes a way for people where there seems to be no way. If you are indeed a child of God, rejoice because His mighty hand will ensure that all things work together for your good (Romans 8:28). However, if you are not a child of God or if you profess to be a Christian but are still living in sin, I beseech you to repent today so that you will not face the fury of the mighty hand of God. May God's mighty hand bring you victory upon victory and shield you from the enemy's attacks, in Jesus' name.
Bible In One Year:
1 Chronicles 10-12
Hymn:
Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
Key Point:
God's mighty hand works for the good of those who love Him and against those who oppose Him.
Conquerors and overcomers now are we
Conquerors are we, through the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory, through the blood of Jesus,
Thro' the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
