Memory verse:-"Then the Lord said to Moses, "Get up early in the morning and confront Pharaoh as
he goes to the water and say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go,
so that they may worship me. If you do not let my people go, I will send swarms of
flies on you and your officials, on your people and into your houses. The houses of
the Egyptians will be full of flies, and even the ground where they are. "‘But on that
day I will deal differently with the land of Goshen
flies will be there, so that you will know that I, the Lord, am in this land. I will make a
distinction between my people and your people. This miraculous sign will occur
tomorrow.’”
And the Lord did this. Dense swarms of flies poured into Pharaoh’s palace and into
the houses of his officials, and throughout Egypt
Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Go, sacrifice to your God here
in the land.” But Moses said, "That would not be right. The sacrifices we offer the
Lord our God would be detestable to the Egyptians. And if we offer sacrifices that
are detestable in their eyes, will they not stone us? We must take a three-day journey
into the desert to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, as he commands us.”
Pharaoh said, "I will let you go to offer sacrifices to the Lord your God in the
desert, but you must not go very far. Now pray for me.” Moses answered, "As soon
as I leave you, I will pray to the Lord, and tomorrow the flies will leave Pharaoh and
his officials and his people. Only be sure that Pharaoh does not act deceitfully again
by not letting the people go to offer sacrifices to the Lord.” Then Moses left
Pharaoh and prayed to the Lord, and the Lord did what Moses asked: The flies
left Pharaoh and his officials and his people; not a fly remained. But this time also
Pharaoh hardened his heart and would not let the people go”.
The Lord God used natural elements like the dust, flies and the likes to battle Pharaoh. Powerful nations like America can only use sophisticated artificial weapons to battle their enemies but God is not limited to anything whether artificial or natural. That is why blessed is a nation whose Amy’s captain is the Lord, the weapons of God are numerous simple but most powerful. We Christians are in the army of God and there is no way we will succumb to the enemies’ threat and plans. Because we are already victors and the devil knows that.
When we get on our knees in prayer things happen, things most of them we cannot see in the physical realm. Our prayers trigger both natural and artificial weapons to work in our favor. Increase your faith in prayer and delight in the promises in God’s Word.
Prayer:- pray that the Lord will arise and make your enemies scatter
pray for God’s protection against accident and sickness
pray the same prayer for your family
What to meditate on:
Why did God tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go for three days and not for good?
