Part The Waters!

Apostle Grace Lubega

Exodus 14:13-16 (KJV); And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever. The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

In life, you may find yourself caught between “a rock and a hard place.”

Circumstances may offer you the ultimatum of making a choice that is no choice at all.

Like the children of Israel, one day, you might get trapped between the Red Sea and Pharaoh’s advancing army.

What is a child of the Most High to do in such a scenario?

Moses’ instruction to the children of Israel in this situation was ill-advised. He encouraged them to “stand still and see the salvation of the LORD…”

It seemed like the brave thing to do. In fact, the Church of Christ has formed a doctrine of “faith in the face of adversity” based on Moses’ words.

We have even sung songs on standing still to see the salvation of the Lord.

GOD asked Moses, “Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.”

What sounded like great faith on Moses’ part was actually unbelief to GOD.

GOD wants you to lift your rod, separate the waters and move forward!

You are the kind who passes through water and does not drown; the kind who walks through fires and is not consumed (Isaiah 43:2). Hallelujah!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

GOD wants you to lift your rod, separate the waters and move forward! You are the kind who passes through water and does not drown; the kind who walks through fires and is not consumed.

PRAYER: My great GOD I thank you. This day, my faith is built up with the confidence that there is nothing I cannot face. It doesn’t matter that there are Egyptians approaching. Like your Word has said, they are just men and their horses are puny flesh. The waters before me part at the sound of your Word and I walk through on dry ground. I refuse to be afraid! I refuse to look back. I launch out in faith and see your salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
