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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
