Egyptians Are Men!

Busola sat on the balcony and watched the graduands come forward in twos for their hand shakes, from those who had completed their Ph.D, Masters and finally to Bachelors degree, it was such a beautiful sight to see. It was also very encouraging to see that these hardworking individuals have finally completed their programs. Such a day would have been a depressing moment for her before now, why you may wonder? She had experienced many challenges along the academic path and it was as if she operated in the realm of failure at the edge of success as regards academics. She had longed for the day she would finish her academic program and walk across the stage for a hand shake from the Chancellor and professors of her University.

She had the opportunity last year and it was as if a load had been taken off her chest, she can face other aspects of life without the constant nagging thought of being a failure... So also, in your case, that situation is temporal. The fear of whether God will do what He has promised to do "on time" makes us run around seeking help where it does not exist. You wonder and imagine the worst case scenario about your particular situation. "Will God do it? What if He does not do it?, Is God testing me?" God does not test us with evil. His earnest desire is that we have all things that we need to make our lives glorify His holy name. If you are in a challenging situation and you do not seem to know the way out, remember a bunch of people have experienced a similar or much more challenging situation before...

"The Children of Israel had heard from the Lord and they can see their chosen leader Moses, he had squared off with Pharaoh and his magicians and without any doubt God was with His people. As a matter of fact, God had visited Egypt in His sore displeasure capping it up with the death of every first born through out the land of Egypt. Without any doubt God was leading them and taking them to the promise land. Well, Israel was boxed in literally caught between the red sea and the choicest of Pharaoh's army.

I can only imagine the looks and expressions on the faces of the people when they saw the Egyptian army closing in on them with no other route to escape. God made a high way on the sea, a miracle that has never been replicated afterwards. Exodus 14:13 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 to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever".

That settled it, every Egyptian you see today you shall see them no more in your situation. Perhaps they may say we will pursue, then Exodus 14:23

"And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen." Well, the result was that they perished totally. Every stubborn enemy that wants to persist in the face of your victory shall perish in Jesus name. Walk into this week assured of the word of the Lord that cannot fail knowing that Egyptians are men and will perish at the Word of the Lord.
