LIVING WITH YOUR MESS??

This is a continuation of my previous blog, but this time my text is Exodus 8:8-10.

Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and begged, “Plead with the Lord to take the frogs away from me and my people. I will let your people go, so they can offer sacrifices to the Lord.” “You set the time!” Moses replied. “Tell me when you want me to pray for you, your officials, and your people. Then you and your houses will be rid of the frogs. They will remain only in the Nile River.” “Do it tomorrow,” Pharaoh said (Ex 8:8-10 NLT)


In verse six of this chapter, we are told that the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt, you would think that when Pharaoh had the chance to get rid of the frogs, he would jump at it… no…he wanted to spend one more night with the frogs!!!! He asked Moses to do it tomorrow!!!

We are all going to make a mess at some point in our lives, God knew this and made provision for us to cast our cares upon Him (Psalm 55:22, 1Peter 5:7)

Have you made a mess of your life or made wrong choices that have landed you in an unpleasant situation? What are you waiting for to call upon the name of the Lord to be saved? Aren’t you tired of bearing this burden by yourself? Why wait to cast it upon Jesus? Don’t be like Pharaoh, you don’t have to put up with your mess one more day. Take it right now to the Lord in prayer, He stands at the door of your heart knocking, if you open right away, He’d come in sup with you and you with Him (Rev 3:20).

You need peace don’t you? Let the Prince of peace in and His peace will flood your entire being. What are you waiting for? Bow your head and do it now.

With much love

SATAN HAS LIMITS

And the LORD spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Let my people go, that they may serve me. And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. And the LORD spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt. And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Entreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD (Ex 8:1-8 KJV)


Today as I read the above bible passage, something caught my attention that had not the countless times I read this chapter of the bible in the past. I noticed that though the Egyptian magicians could make the frogs come upon the land of Egypt, they had to plead with Moses and Aaron to entreat Almighty God to take away the frogs!

It was so refreshing to be reminded of how limited the enemy’s power and influence is. No doubt people of all faiths are going through some tough times, you may be one of them. If you are a child of God, I want you to be comforted by the above incidence in the bible, be reminded that God has the final say in your life and there is so far the enemy can go. What is happening in our world today calls for wisdom and endurance on the part of the saints. Do not let go of your confidence in God for in a little while He will come through for you and reward your patience and trust.
