Exodus 11:6-7 “Then there shall be great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was not like it before, nor shall be like it again. But against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move its tongue, against man or beast, that you may know that the Lord does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel”. Verse 7 says “That you may KNOW that the Lord does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. The first thing that we have to do is KNOWING. I want to encourage somebody today that unless you KNOW the God that you worship, what kind of God is he and how powerful and big is your God, you will never have peace in this troubled world. John 14:27 “I am leaving you with a gift, peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift that the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid”. We need to KNOW this God , the God who will give us peace and comfort in such times as these. And how do we KNOW this God? One might ask.
1. Read your Bible- Make it a daily habit to read the Bible to feed your mind and to renew your thinking. Fill your thinking with the word of God.( Joshua 1:8)
2. Pray- Do not forget to pray. Pray always, It is in the prayer room that God reveals his will to his people. (Jeremiah 33:3)
3. Fellowship- Do not neglect the gathering of the saints. Even though the gatherings are prohibited in this season, we do still have social media. And as much as the devil is using the media to create fear in this time of corona pandemic in the world, we can also use it to bring hope to the world. Let us connect with one another to share the gospel and encourage one another. (Hebrews 10:25).
In the book of Matthew11:28 Jesus said “come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest”. Who is this God that give you rest in such a time like this? His name is JEHOVAH ELOHIM, OUR CREATOR AND A COVENANT KEEPING GOD. He said in his word, I will never leave you nor forsake. Isaiah 59:19b “ When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him”. Psalm 91:7-10 “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the most High your dwelling place. No evil shall befall you, nor shall any PLAGUE come near your dwelling”. His name is JEHOVAH SABAOTH, the Lord of Hosts. We need to KNOW this God for surely he will make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. SHALOM
