BUT THE MORE THEY WERE OPPRESSED, THE MORE THEY MULTIPLIED
AND SPREAD; SO THE EGYPTIANS CAME TO DREAD THE ISRAELITIES
Here in the beginning of Exodus, is the story of Moses that we
all know. At this time a cruel pharaoh rose up to power, he did
not know about Joseph and despised the Israelites. He saw their
great number and wanted to get rid of them.
At first he commanded the midwives of Egypt to kill every male
that was born, but they feared God and did not do it, and God
blessed them.
Then, pharaoh sent out a decree that every male born would be
killed. Three times the pharaoh has tried to get rid of Israelites;
he tries to intensify their labor to work them out, he tries to stop
them from multiplying by killing their males, but three times he
fails, and God remains victorious. God multiplied the Israelites
even more.
Be encouraged today, that whatever God has planned, nothing
can stand against. No matter what forces are against you, if
kings or principalities plot, God’s plan for you will still be
victorious. Maybe right now, the devil is sending you numerous
attacks to try and get you down, He is vying to kill your hope,
crush your faith, and ultimately defeat you as a Christian. But
know, that no matter what he may try and do, if God is for you,
nothing can be against you.
So rise up with new strength, and remain hopeful, God is on
your side! His plan for you, no one, and nothing can stop.
