Exodus 12:31-32 - And he called for
Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. Exodus chapters 7 through 12 narrated the many plagues (blood, frog, lice, flies plus dead animals, pestilence, boils, hail, locust, darkness and death of first born) that befell Pharaoh and Egypt and how he kept hardening his heart and refusing to allow the Israelites go and worship the Almighty God in the wilderness. He kept negotiating on where, how, who, when and what they should go with until one eventful night. Then came the night God allowed the angel of death run amok and killed the firstborn of all men and beast in Egypt! As our opening scriptures stated, Pharaoh did not only let them go, he did so in a hurry, the Egyptians gave the Jews any and everything they demanded and the mighty Pharaoh asked Moses and Aaron to bless him! The lessons from the story are many: 1) The story of the plagues reverberated to neighboring and far away lands and their fear for the God of Israel gave generations of Israel victories! That same God is your God! 2) That same Pharaoh that was proving tough melted like wax when the Almighty God arose! All your enemies and distracters should take note; they better repent before the Almighty God should arise! 3) Egyptians were in a hurry to give away their precious possessions when God arose! God will also give you gains for your pains, triumph for your trials, double for your trouble and victory for your misery! 4) Pharaoh begged Moses and Aaron to bless him! Never mind how your bosses and others that are showing you ‘pepper’ are boasting and acting like demi-gods, they are secretly admiring you and your Almighty God and time is coming when they will beg you to bless them! Remain blessed and enjoy this blissful week in Jesus name. Amen! |
