KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 17:11 ” And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed.”

When the people of Israel were resting at Rephidim the Amalekites came and fought them.

In this encounter Moses asked Joshua to gather men and fight the Amalekites. He decided to go up the mountain and lift up the rod of the Lord before Him. Moses demonstrated that, there are two sides to every life encounter. There is a physical side and there is the spiritual side. Each aspect must be approached with all seriousness.

Joshua fought the Amalekites physically, but Moses was waging a spiritual warfare. He lifted up the rod of God before Him. When His hands remained up Israel was winning, when his hands got tired and weak, so it dropped, Israel started losing. This meant the spiritual holds sway over the natural. When his hands got tired Aaron and Hur supported him by holding Moses hands. This event teaches us that leaders are not Supermen; they need some support to sustain the victory and success of the whole body and organization. There are various helps that could be given to leaders to keep the body functioning well. They need the prayer support of the members 1st Timothy 2:1-2. They need the financial support as well Galatians 6:7, and many other ways of holding their hands up.

Joshua and his men did their best to fight the Amalekites yet their victory depended on whether Moses’ hands were up or not. Every spiritual leader is an automatic intercessor. A pastor who does not spend enough time to pray for his congregation would be calling for lots and lots of trouble. Your intercession should not be a thirty-minute prayer time. You must prevail in your prayers. There are all forms of demonic activities that Satan projects over the life of the congregation. There are a lot more people who must be won unto the fellowship of the saints. Your intercessions would do a lot, yet, let us understand that Aaron and Hur were also supporting Moses in his intercessory business.

 Don’t leave the task of intercession to the pastor alone. Other members, leaders and even the congregation must be involved in interceding for the advancement of the gospel in their midst. 

 PRAYER

Oh God raise men and women who will be great intercessors.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 17:2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?

The Israelites continued with their journey to the promised land as they got to Rephidim where there was no water. The scripture said their journeys were commanded by the Lord. How come that God led them to a place where there was no water? In our previous studies we realize that these people continuously encounter one problem after another. Why does God who was leading them allow these situations to come their way? PLEASE GET THIS TRUTH ONCE AND FOR ALL, THE GREATEST LESSON, THAT GOD WOULD WANT HIS CHILDREN TO LEARN IS TO KNOW HIM.

Apostle Paul says in Philippians 3:10a “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection……”. This was after so many years of fellowshipping and experiencing the dealings and workings of God in his life. Daniel 11:32b also enlightens us that “…. but the people that do know their God shall be strong and do exploits”. Knowing in this context also means to get acquainted with God. It also means knowing who God is and how he does his things. Anyone who comes into such knowledge cannot be defeated and would never fret under any situation.

Dear child of God, challenges would never stop coming your way. God would allow them to come your way. They offer you opportunities to trust God and see his power and wisdom. (Romans 8:28). God does not lead us into temptations any way. James 1:13 “let no man say, when he is tempted: I am tempted of God. For God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempts He any man”. Remember that to be tempted means to be prompted to do evil. God will not and cannot prompt anyone to do evil.

Did the Israelites learn the lesson of knowing God? No, they did not. Listen to what they said Exodus 17:3 “And the people thirsted there for water and the people murmured against Moses, and said, wherefore is this that thou has brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? These people consistently spoke about themselves, their children, their cattle. They were occupied with themselves. WE CAN ONLY KNOW THE POWER OF GOD BY TRUSTING OUR LIVES AND FUTURE INTO HIS HANDS. WE CAN’T KNOW HIM IF WE GET SO CONCERNED WITH OURSELVES.

   CONFESSION

I trust God with my life. He is a faithful God and honours His word in my life continually. I know Him and therefore, I do not fret at anything.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 16:20 ” Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and stank: and Moses was wroth with them.”

Moses from the beginning of his calling has been very consistent with whatever God told him. He took time to get what God was instructing him, so he would do just that.

In our passage Moses gave them instructions on how to collect and use the manna. He asked them not to collect above some amount. Some obeyed but a number of them disobeyed. Those who disobeyed and collected more than what they were told had the leftovers becoming worms. Most of man’s troubles are as a result of neglect of the word of God. The word of God is perfect, it converts the soul. The testimony of God is sure making wise the simple. The commandment of the Lord is pure enlightening the eyes. PS 19:7–9). Human experience is full of failures and defeats. The reason is simple, men do not obey the simple instructions of scripture. 2nd Timothy 3:16,17 reads “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. That the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto every good work. The import of the scripture is to make the child of God perfect thoroughly equipped unto every good work. If men would be diligent to do what God says life would not produce ‘worms’ and ‘maggots.’

 In Exodus 16:29, Moses instructed the Jews to take a double of what they used to collect at the other times. This was to be used on the Sabbath day. They were not to go for any manna on the Sabbath day. During this incident, what was left for the next day did not grow worms.

Once again, we learn that relating with God is to trust Him for whatever He says. The just shall always live by faith. Isaiah 55:8-9 reads “For my thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways my ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. It is the word of God which gives us God’s thoughts and His ways. Without His word man is lost in his own confusion. He says His thoughts produces the best of results in every endeavor in life. To lead a great and successful life just resolve to submit to God’s word in everything you do.

In Exodus 16:26, the Bible said some of the Israelites went out on the Sabbath day to gather some manna and found none. The Lord asked Moses how long would these people refuse to disobey God’s word. This is rebellion and stubbornness. They were disappointed in their disobedience. This should teach us a lot of lessons. Anytime we disobey God’s word we would be disappointed no matter how wise our actions may be.

May we always humble ourselves before God, to do exactly as He says, so we may avoid failure and disappointments.

CONFESSION

I have the understanding of the just and escape the path of fools for I submit my life and actions totally to God’s word. I live in the Spirit and therefore I’m filled with peace and joy always.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 16:3 ” And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger.”

(Pls read Exodus 16 :1–36)

The children of Israel murmured against Moses because they had no food in sight to eat. They murmured and spoke abominably to Moses and Aaron. These people who cried under the horrible treatment the Egyptian task masters gave to them, said, it would have been better they died in Egypt. Why couldn’t these Jews consider any of the mighty works of God, to show a little trust in Him? These people were self-centered. No man can express any trust in God if he is self-centered.

The bible described these people as not entering into their rest.( rest ,is a state of peace and confidence, knowing that everything is under control) Hebrews 4:2 reads “For unto us was the gospel preached as well as unto them but the word preached did not profit  them not being missed with faith in them that heard it”. We are also warned to be cautious not to fail to enter into God’s rest. God’s intention for every child of His inspite of whatever he or she may be experiencing is to live a life of rest or to be at peace with himself. It is only in a state of a peace of mind and heart that God works to bring to pass His perfect will and intention for His children.

In Exodus 16:4 the Lord responded to the position of these complaining Israelites by saying he would rain bread from heaven for them. He instructed on the procedure for their collection of this bread. The Lord answered these people and gave them manna although they were in doubt and unbelief. Why did He do so since it was against His general principle of doing things for people who had no faith in Him? The Lord brought manna not as an answer to the complains and murmuring of the people but as an answer to the faith of Moses and Aaron. (Exodus 16:6).

God has stated throughout the counsel of scripture that he responds to the faith of men. Hebrews 11:6 ” But without faith it is impossible to please God, for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and   that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. “. Life from God’s point of view should not be stressful and miserable but through trust in the word of God man will lead a life of rest and peace although he may be faced with challenging times. Man cannot live without challenges   but God has planned a life of peace and rest that makes us live above every one of  these challenges  through faith or trust in Him.1 John 5:4 ” For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

CONFESSION

God’s word is the light that leads me in this life, it is the key that opens every door I face, it is the medicine that heals every ailment that attacks me, and the best counsel for every decision I have to make. I am a winner in this life because I live by God’s word.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 15:22 ” So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.”

After the joy and celebration of their victory over Egypt, they were faced with another challenge of faith. This time there was no drinking water. The Christian life is a walk with God. Walking with God is a school of learning about God and how He relates with His children. God is invincible to the natural eyes. It takes faith to get Him into the affairs of our life. Challenges of life as they come our way are in no way dangers or matters to destroy us from our Father’s point of view. Not so with the devil. He intends to destroy you, so stand with God. They are simply the schooling process of getting to know and experience God. God’s idea of passing his children through these processes brings his children into a state of knowledge that nothing becomes a problem to them anymore. This is how apostle James put it. James 1:2-4 “My brethren count it all joy when you fall into divers’ temptations knowing this that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire wanting nothing”.

Please did you see why these challenges come.?  The ultimate state that our beloved father wants you to come into, is that, you would want nothing. When a man gets to know God, he would no more fret about any need.

In our story, Moses led the people from the Red sea and for 3 days, they had no water. After the third day, they came across water but it was bitter. The bible said, the people murmured against Moses saying. What shall we drink.? Please note: the word murmur means in the Hebrew to lodge, stop over, or abide. It simply means the man who is murmuring has stopped moving with God but stuck to wherever he or she has decided to be. Their action put a lot of pressure on Moses. Moses could have focused on their pressure and gotten despair. Many challenges put a lot of pressure on us. They turn to make us focus on the problem. Moses did not focus on them, He rather turned to God and asked for help or solution. The Lord showed Him a tree which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet.

Out of this incident the Lord said to Moses to tell the whole of Israel that if they would only trust Him and hold diligently to his word, they would never have any of the diseases He put (allowed) on the Egyptians for He is the Lord our Healer.

CONFESSION

God and His word are one I wholly depend on whatever He says. He cannot fail, His word will always proof faithful.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 15:1 ” Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea”.

Moses sang about the victory of the Lord over the Egyptians. Our Father desires that we offer unto Him praise. Hebrews 13:15 says “By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name”.

Please note that, it must be done continually and He calls it fruits of our lips. Fruits are always the delight of every person.

In the song of Moses, he talked about how the mighty deeds of God brought the land of Egypt and her people to their knees. He praised the lord for all he had done. He was quite specific in describing details of this mighty victory of the Lord. After narrating all that the Lord did to deliver them, he asked “Who is like unto thee o Lord, among the gods? Who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises doing wonders”? Exodus 15:11. As much as such songs are praising God, they also establish the faith of whosoever is offering them.

Moses and the children of Israel were ministering to the Lord. It is also a means to fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Whenever we fellowship with the Spirit this way, we are filled with the Spirit. Ephesians 5:18-19 “And be not filled with wine wherein is excess, but be filled with the Holy Ghost: Speaking to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord”. The Spirit also added we must give thanks always for all things unto God…”

Any Christian who does not do these things is getting dried up in the Spirit. It is a simple sign to check how much the Holy Spirit is operating in your life. Please note the instruction in Ephesians 5:19, He says speak or say these songs to yourselves. He is not referring to the second party, but to your very self. That is, as you sit alone you say these psalms, hymns, words of praise, thanksgiving unto God, to yourself as well.

Remember that in Acts 16:25 after Paul and Silas were beaten and thrown into jail with their feet in stocks, they prayed and sang praises unto God. The result was a supernatural pandemonium causing the earth to quake whiles their chains were broken.

This even led to the salvation of the Jailer who had wanted to take his life because he taught the prisoners had escaped.   PRAISE GOD TO BE RAISED UP.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 14:9 “But the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon“.

When the king of Egypt and his servants got to know that the Israelites had left, their hearts were turned against them. Satan would never want the freedom of any subject of his. It is up to every child of God to know that the devil is defeated and must insist on that to stay free. They asked themselves why have we allowed Israel to go?

Every child of God must know that, if Satan could not hold you under his grips and you had your liberty to be born again. How can he and his defeated devils now torment you? They could not hold you when you were under their full grips, but allowed you to be born again. Can they now come over and make you slaves of theirs again.? This is what you must not allow to happen.  Pharaoh and his people are on a mission impossible, and are searching for more trouble. Right under their power and supervision these Israelites left. Would they be able to take them captive when they are no more under their control?

The children of Israel became fearful when they saw the chariots of Egypt come up against them. They got so fearful that they spoke against Moses and the Lord. Why this turn of events? Psalm 103:7 reads “He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israelites”. The children of Israel only knew God by what he did. Moses knew Him by whom He was and HOW he did His things.

The different between those who are able to stand and overcome in difficult trying times, and those who give up when times are rough is that; the first group have meditated on his word, practiced the word and known that God would always do what He has said. Such a man knows the ways of God. Those who can’t stand adversity might have seen the deeds, signs or miracles of God but have not acted on the word to know how faithful God is. They only know the acts of God. These people would only fret and murmur because they know their end has come.

Moses said unto them “Fear not standstill and see the salvation of the Lord….”. He added the Lord shall fight for you and you shall hold your peace….”. (Exodus 14:14,15). Moses spoke in faith not knowing what to do. God responded by telling him what to do, out of his faith declarations.

Faith in God is our sure access for a release of the power of God unto salvation. You may not know what to do in a moment of crisis Like Moses express your faith in God by speaking in faith with a corresponding action. God would always respond to your faith in Him.

 CONFESSION

I am doer of the word of God, and so, I am not moved by any situation. God will show up because I trust Him by doing what He has said.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 12:12 ” For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.”

The Lord ordered Moses to instruct the whole of Israel to undertake the Passover. The Lord asked them to kill a lamp without blemish and sprinkle its blood on the lintel and on the two door posts. The Lord said he will pass through the land of Egypt including Goshen where the Israelites dwelt, and every house that had no blood on the lintel and side posts, will have the first born being killed.

In our key scripture He said he would strike every first born and All the gods of the Egyptians. Israel according to God’s word is His first born and Egypt must also lose her firstborns for touching God’s firstborn (Ex 4:12 & 13) We are also God’s firstborns as joint heirs with Jesus. James 1:8 “Of His own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruit of His creatures”. The first fruit is the same as the first born. The first fruit always held a double share of the father’s inheritance. He is the greatest delight of the father. Anything that attacks or touches the first fruit receives the total fury of the Father. God always judged anyone or anything that took his first fruit. Jericho was the first in the towns that were conquered by Joshua, and therefore although they destroyed every man, the silver, gold, vessel of brass and iron were all to be put in the house of the Lord. These items were the first fruits of the wars and it was solely for the Lord. It became a curse to any man that touched it.

Achan disobeyed and took some of the gold he came across. Achan took God’s first fruits from Jericho and had to suffer for doing so (Joshua 7:25,26). We are God’s first fruits, anything that attacks us would be attacked by God.

During the night of the Passover of the angel of death, (Exodus 12:23) any house including those of the Israelites that did not have the blood as a token, would have the firstborn in that house being killed. This was a vivid picture of our Lord Jesus who would be killed as God’s Passover lamb for the whole world. Anyone who would accept Him or believe in Him would be saved. He would not have to die in his or her sins. When the Lord observed the Passover meal with His disciples, He took the cup and said “for this is my blood of the new testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins” Matthew 26:28.  The scripture said for God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, so that anyone who believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

CONFESSION

Our Lord Jesus is God’s Passover lamb, that took away the sins of the whole world. Thank you, Jesus, for dying for me. I am now God’s first fruit and nothing can attack me without God also attacking that thing.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 10:21 ” And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.”

The Lord asked Moses to stretch out his hand towards heaven that there would be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt. Please learn that God did not cause these things to happen by Himself. He had to employ a human being to work through. God will always need MEN who would believe and act for him. In the beginning God gave the right to do things on the earth in the hands of men (Gen 1:26–28). It would be illegal on His part to just take actions on earth without a human instrumentality. This is the reason for prayer. Prayer gives God a legal ground to act on man’s behalf. Man must always pray for God to intervene in the affairs of men on this earth. Be a partner with God to effect changes in the affairs of men.

When Moses stretched forth his hand there was so much darkness that, one could feel it. They could not see one another. This was a blinding darkness. There was no darkness in the dwelling place of the Jews. Why the darkness at this time around? The sun was the chief god of the Egyptians. The sun was worshipped as a mighty god who could never fail in offering it’s light. This time it could not shine for three days. All these happened at the command of a man on behalf of the God of the Jews.

There is no God like unto our Lord. He is the almighty. Every other god that men worship is nothing. A critical look at these judgements on the Egyptians was a judgement on their gods and idolatry. The Lord further established that idolatry is a failure on all grounds. Turn from every idol to serve and worship the creator of all things. (Note: An idol is anything that takes the place of God almighty in our lives) God has revealed himself to us through our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus is the eternal word of God who is also God (John 1:1,14). He became man. He demonstrated to us the God kind of life. He revealed that man can reign in this life depending on the Holy Spirit. He is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but by Him (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we may be saved (Acts 4:12).

To accept Him you must repent of your unbelief and sin, and believe on Him, confessing Him as your Lord.

CONFESSION

Lord Jesus you are the only way to life. I believe you died for my sins and rose up on the third day. I accept you as my saviour and Lord.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Exodus 10:7 And Pharaoh’s servants said unto him, how long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God: knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?”

Once again Moses and Aaron kept the heat on Pharaoh. Dear child of God, don’t stop the heat and resistance you put up on the devil against any negative thing he is doing in your life.

This time, the servants of Pharaoh who had no right to correct the king on his actions and choices spoke. Out of desperation they spoke. The said unto him, how long shall this man be a snare unto us…? Are you a snare unto the devil? Your relentless prayers and intercessions can be a snare unto the devil. If you are not involved in any form of prayer warfare, then you have given the devil holiday or a great degree of freedom to operate in. Christians who maintain a consistent prevailing prayer times keep experiencing  steady advances in life.

In verse 8 the bible said, Pharaoh asked Moses and Aaron to go with the Israelites and serve the Lord but he asked, who are they that shall go?”. He was not prepared to allow every one of them to go. Satan never wants the ultimate freedom of the children of God, He wants you to have partial freedom. Please note this God never plans for partial freedom for his sons. He always wants total and absolute freedom for you. Always go for total liberty. Never settle for anytime incomplete. Don’t give any place to the devil. Give yourself wholly to the master. Partial dedication is bondage. Satan does not need to have everything at first time. He only needs a little bit of it and the whole will ultimately be his. Some serve God with their body but not their money. Others may give their money or big donations but you would never find them personally committed to any work of God. They do not even have the time to wait before God in prayer.

In verse 10, he (Pharaoh) asked them to go yet he said, evil was before them. He even drove them out of His presence. Pharaoh was still defiant and proud. God was also angry with him and asked Moses to stretch his arm with the rod unto the heavens and cause the locust to fill up the Land. The scriptures say God resists the proud. Your mouth may be saying one thing and your actions will be doing something different. The locust came swiftly unto the Land of Egypt to destroyed the land.
