I read a piece sent out to all friends and partners of the minstry of a friend, Bishop Michael O. Amamieye, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, and I was tremendously blessed. I then asked for his permission to let it out on my blog to be a blessing to all readers of this site.
You will surely be imparted as you read!
"Exodus is a very important book of the Bible. This is so because all through your life on earth, you will need to have many Exodus experience. The first five words of the Bible states, “In the beginning God created…” Gen. 1:1. God is a good God. Everything He does, He leaves His signature of perfection. James 1:17. Even after He made man, He left His signature. Man was declared good, in fact, very good. Gen. 1:31. The Book of Beginnings closes with these five words, “…in a coffin in Egypt.” Gen. 50:26. The good creation of God called man was put in a coffin in Egypt. Egypt simply means black or dark. God the Father of lights created light beings called man. But this man eventually found himself locked up in a coffin in the regions of darkness. The coffin or casket is the end of story for whoever is in it. So for man, the end of story in this life is a coffin.
When you find a full stop, you can make it a continuum if you add several other dots. If you are told by someone: you are stupid. The stop puts an end to it. But you can add several other dots: they said, you are stupid…but you say, that is your opinion. Then you make your statement. Your statement changes everything they have said. It is the one who has the final say who wins the fight. Exodus is God’s dots on the story of man. The Devil thought that it was all over with man placing him in a coffin in the regions of the dead. God just added some dots and we have Exodus. Exodus is an Old Testament Greek word which means a departure.
God made a statement to the Devil. It was like telling the Devil, before you start having a party that you have succeeded in putting my dream man in a coffin in the gulag, hold it, he is coming out! Just shout, I am coming out! If the weight is too much and it seems like it will grind you, scream on top of your voice, I am coming out! Shout it until those around you think that you are going crazy because most times for you to get well you have to go wild. No normal human being has made a difference. It takes abnormal or rather supernormal people to make a difference. Make that
difference today. Just shout, I am coming out!
Let me just put this in here, deliverance is not a ministry God has given to some selected few. Deliverance is a daily bread from God for His beloved children. That is why Jesus taught us to pray daily, “…deliver us from evil…” Matt. 6:13. You will never out grow this. That is why Exodus will be a continuous experience as long as you live here on earth. You will always need to be delivered from something or someone or somewhere or sometime. Somebody needs to be delivered from your present status to a better one. Someone needs to be delivered from sin to right living. Someone needs to be delivered from your present job to a better one. Someone needs to be delivered from singleness to a happy married life.
God set His machinery in motion to bring His people out of the coffin in Egypt. How would He do that? He has to use a man by name Moses from our text. God will always use human beings to bring you out of any coffin in Egypt to your Promised Land. Make no mistake about this: God will use human beings to bless you. That was why to save us, He had to become a Man, the Man Christ Jesus. How would Moses do this? By God’s word. The word carries the force that can deliver and force you out of any coffin you have been placed. The ministry of reconciliation or release can only be accomplished by the word of reconciliation. 2 Cor. 5:18,19.
From our text, God said to Moses, you will go to Egypt where My son is put in a coffin. You will say to Pharaoh, Let My son go. No matter the coffin you have been forced into by human opinion, society, government policies, etc. By the word of the God of Moses whom I serve, you will come out in Jesus name. Amen. All Moses was required to do was to tell Pharaoh what Jehovah said. It is a simple assignment. Go and tell Pharaoh, Let My people go. You will assume that the moment Moses went the first time, it will just happen. Moses went to Pharaoh more than ten times repeating the
same message. The message never changes even though the methods changes with time and people.
I know that if you were Moses, after some few trials, you would have given up. Moses was under command. He went each time God came to him. God’s message never changed until it came to pass. I want to challenge you to keep saying to your Pharaoh until you see the change that God told you about. Don’t give up at the first few trials. Go again. Elijah told his servant to go six times. At last, the seventh time, he saw cloud like a man’s hand. 1 Kings 18:42-44. Elisha told Naaman the leper to deep seven times before he was healed of his leprosy. I don’t know how many times you have to speak the word or plant your best seed or make a sacrifice or do
something that will bring the change God has spoken about. Do it, because very soon what God said will become real for all to see. You will come out like the Israelites. They came out of Egypt with great substance. I see you march triumphantly from that coffin in Egypt. I see you come out to the limelight. I see you rise out of obscurity. Your star will shine again.
See you at the top."
