Breaking the Odds


And a man of the house of Levi went and took as wife a daughter of Levi. So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months. But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank. And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. (Exodus 2:1-4NKJV)

Key Text:

“By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king's command.” (Hebrews 11:23 NKJV)

Commentary:

Fear is the greatest enemy of FAITH and Faith is the greatest threat and solution to Fear. Often times believers compromise and lose heart as a result of fear; they give in to certain situations that is contrary to what we believe because we fear to lose our status, possessions, cliques and lots more.

But the truth is this: “The more we give in to our fears, the more it cripples our faith and the better chance it has in controlling our lives. The Mother of Moses was not ready to become one of those whose fears took the better hold of, rather she broke the odds by risking their own safety in protecting the baby Moses and hiding him against the Kings command. This leap of faith was an invitation to God to keep the baby safe for His own purpose.

As we later found out from the scriptures, this baby that the circumstances of his birth was against the norm became an anchor man in the salvation of the people of Israel from Egypt. Before you sleep tonight, let go of your fears and be ready to take a stand of faith.

Prayer Points:

  1. Every negative law existing shall be broken at my emergence in Jesus name.
  2. O God, I shall triumph and succeed where others tried and failed.
  3. My God, I put away every spirit of fear and I build my faith strongly on the power of Your amazing grace.

Insight:

Whatever you risk for God, He preserves continuously for you. Fear is the beginning of defeat. Half our fears are the results of Ignorance.

DAY 18 - NIGHT OF COMPASSION

Image
Bible Reading: Matthew 15:21-28 Bible Text: Romans 9:15 '…I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.' MIDNIGHT MEDITATION: The Canaanite woman had a demon-possessed daughter whom she dearly loved; maybe the child was the only child she had. As a mother, she must have tried everything to ensure that her child regained her health back but all proved to be to no avail. The woman heard of Jesus and travelled down from Canaan to see Jesus in the region of Tyre and Sidon where He was preaching. Desperate and in agony she ran to Jesus and we see the following come into play: She pleaded for Mercy.   This woman had come with all assurance that Jesus, a merciful king would listen to her plight and heal her daughter but she received the shock of her life: Jesus did not answer her, not even a word! What a great embarrassment it must have been to run to someone you required help and have him not utter ...

DAY 15 - NIGHT OF DEALING WITH FOUNDATIONS

Image
Bible Reading: Zechariah 4:1–10; Psalm 11:1-3 Bible Text: "If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?" (Psalm 11:3) MIDNIGHT MEDITATION: According to Merriam Webster Dictionary , the word 'foundation' means something (such as an idea, a principle, or facts) that provides support for something. It is a basis (as a tenet, principle or axiom) upon which something stands or is supported. i.e. an underlying base or support. Holman Christian Standard Bible dictionary defines foundation as the sturdy first layer on which a structure is built. Figuratively, the principles or initial work upon which what follows is based. Putting all these into constructive consideration; without any iota of doubt, foundations are very important in the spiritual realm; it has generational consequences. Although our past is gone and seemingly forgotten by several people, it is worthy to note that the past is not a “dead dog” but a “sleeping Lion” that ca...

Welcome to August - Welcome to the Season of Rest on Every Side...

Image
Dearly Beloved, I am persuaded by the Almighty God to declare to you that it shall be your season of great revival that will usher in rest of mind, peace on every side, joy, comfort and great relief. It shall also be a season of judgment for the wicked as the scripture says in Psalm 94:13   “That You may give him rest from the days of adversity, Until the pit is dug for the wicked” (NKJV). Those whose lives are directed by God’s law are the blessed ones (Psalm 1). Contrary to the arrogant expectations of the wicked and inspite of the oppressions, the scripture confirms in Psalm 7:9  “Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; for the righteous God tests the hearts and minds”.   This particular season our Lord Jesus Christ is expressly speaking to us that, despite the fact that we have experienced many troubles and distresses, He will revive us again and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth, increase our gre...
