Text:*  Exodus 2:23 

And it came to pass in the process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

The story of the children of Israel as we have it in the Pentateuch is full of instructions and life-lessons for those of us in this new testament age to learn from.

For about 430 years, the Israelis' were in bondage in Egypt. It didn't start out as bondage, it started as a quest for greener pastures in a very distressed situation.

When Jacob (Isreal) and his children landed in Egypt, they were well accepted and they immediately settled in Goshen, a fertile region in northeastern Egypt, famously known as the place of refuge, provision, and safety.

This is similar to what anyone who seeks greener pastures in other countries or continents with better amenities and security may experience. *While it is not wrong to move or relocate from one place to another, as a child of God, ensure that it is the Spirit of God that is leading you to do so.* 

The Israelites relocated to Egypt because it has been prophesied long before that time that it will be so. However, what started as a beautiful new beginning turned to a bitter, frustrating life of slavery.

When they could no longer bear it, they cried out to God for deliverance and God heard them.

Now, the amazing thing in this story is that God was not just willing to deliver them, He actually did not intend for them to stay longer than 400 years. 

In Genesis 15:13  God said unto Abram, that 'Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.'

That is, if they understood the intention of God for them, they would not have stayed 30 years more in slavery. The question is, why didn't God save them miraculously 30 years earlier without them crying for help?

God wouldn't step into your space if you don't call or desire Him to. He said in Jeremiah 33:3 that "call unto me and I will answer you ..' He only answers those who call out to Him.

He says in Psalms 50:15 that, *Call on me in the day of distress;   I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.”*  Again,  He says in Psalms 91:15 that,  *When he calls out to me,I will answer him. I will be with him in his distress.   I will deliver him, and I will honor him.* 

God repeated this instructions severally in His words because He only answers those who call on Him. If you need help today, cry  to Him for it.
If you think His promises are delaying in manifestation, call unto Him. Cry to your Father today for help, He is more willing and ready to help you than you give Him credit for.

Exodus 2:23-25.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

Father, I receive the strength and grace to call unto you even in my distress in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
