Let my people go...

Let my people go... 

"Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and told Pharaoh, "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: "Let My people go, that they may hold a feast to Me in the wilderness."' (Exod.5.1) 

The bible is replete with types and shadows. Pharaoh speaks of taskmaster that held the children of Israel in a captivity for 400 years. Pharaoh was so powerful Moses was scared to go before him. When God told him to go before Pharaoh he asked God, "Who am I that I should go before Pharaoh? Pharaoh was  like the number one citizen of the world, he was powerful. 

But after Moses gained insight into who he truly was, he went before Pharaoh and demanded the release of his people from Egyptian slavery. We see him in our text, in the company of his brother Aaron. He did not speak his own words but God's word. He spoke God's word to the Pharaoh of slavery "Thus says the LORD God of Israel: Let My people go" 

I don't know what Pharaoh has held you down and what kind of captivaty you're in. Pharaohs of poverty, Pharaohs of wrong mindset, Pharaohs of wrong friends, Pharaohs of bad habits and unforgiveness, Pharaohs of low self esteem and intimidation, whatever the Pharaohs is, it let's you go right now. Speak God's word to that Pharaoh, Let my business go, Let my marriage go, Let my children go,, Let my money, Let my spouse go. 

And since it is not your own words but God's words you've spoken, the word will go and accomplish the purpose for which it was sent. May every thing that represent a Pharaoh in your life, let you go today in Jesus name. 

Good day,
Have a great day today,
Emmanluel Okoro,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las...

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b...

"Law man" or God's man

Image
The law in one sense was a defective reflection of God. It reflected who God is; though not a perfect reflection. The law says don't steal, God does not steal. The law says do not lie, God does not lie, etc. But there was more to God that law could not show or give to us. As a result, God has given us His grace. His grace was not just a reflection of Himself but was God Himself. The law would should you what to do but could not grant you the ability to do it but grace did not just show you, He did it for us. The essence of the law was to satisfy God but grace came and did that on behalf of mankind. The reason why the Apostle says here that he quiets being a 'law man' but instead became God's man "What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man". (Gal.2.18 MSG) Are you 'law man' who is still strivi...
