Egypt: Not A Place Of Envy!

There is calamity in Egypt. There are reproach, stagnation, frustration, sadness, mockery, lamentation, destruction and curses in Egypt. Egypt is not place to be- It’s not a place of envy a place of eternal damnation (Ezek 30: 4). A majority of the people or if not all hate to experience the death Egypt carries but it’s sad to let you know that almost everyone has become a citizen of Egypt.

The sins of mankind has forcefully made them her citizen. The people of Israelites became slaves in the hand of Potiphar for over 400 years You can see this in Exodus 12: 40, “ Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that all the armies of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt”. Hmm…the people of Israelites would have died in Egypt If God had not raised Moses for their rescue. God sent a Sheppard to rescue the Sheep from the Wolves. May I say this to some proud people who don't believe in God’s anointed servants? Most believe that they can be their own prophets…that’s a lie from the pit of hell. Until you are tied to whom God has sent your way, your damnation is inevitable. God has anointed His servants for our rescue. Moses was sent for the rescue of the Israelites in Egypt (Exo 3:10). God sent Elijah for the rescue of the widow of Zarephath (1 kings 17: 8-16). The Most High God destroyed bareness by sending Elisha to the Shunamite woman ( 2 Kings 4: 8-37). Who has gone sent your way? Who is your Pastor? I know mine and it very important to recognize yours. May God help you.

Egypt is not a chosen place by God. I know some people who are ready to contend the Word might say, “ Is she referring to the nation of Egypt in this continent? Is she condemning my home land, Egypt? “ Well I am not, I’m simply referring to the Egypt in the Bible. So let no one raise eyebrows.

Egypt is not a place destined for you and I. God is ready to bring us out of there if we are so determined to leave. The Israelites left Egypt when their minds were prepared for liberation. God heard their cry for deliverance and He sent His messenger ahead for their liberation ( Exodus 3: 7-9) Until you make a choice to leave the cursed land, you will die in shame and reproach. Egypt is a cursed land. Do you remember the story of Adam and Eve? They disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit. Sin is a forbidden fruit that we all but abstain from. Sin is a curse: Sin will make you a citizen of Egypt. God placed a curse on mankind when sin was allowed. You can see this in Gen 3:13-19,

“13 And the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 So the LORD God said to the serpent:
“ Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.”

16 To the woman He said:
“I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception;
In pain you shall bring forth children;
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.”

17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’:
“ Cursed is the ground for your sake;
In toil you shall eat of it
All the days of your life.
18 Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
And you shall eat the herb of the field.
19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
Till you return to the ground,
For out of it you were taken;
For dust you are,
And to dust you shall return.”

Wow! Children of God, it took disobedience to be cursed and it will also take obedience to erase the curse. Your obedience to His Word will cancel all curses. What a good news! It will take redemption to erase these curses from your life. Jesus has come to die for our sins and we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. The book of Colossians 1 : 13-14 will buttress my point. It reads,

“ He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.”Glory to God for the love of Jesus. Isn’t God mighty and merciful? He’s the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He’s forever faithful and full of compassion. How happy it is to have a loving Father. John 3: 16-17 says, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”

Accept Him into your live today because tomorrow may be too late. He has come once as a Lamb but his 2nd coming will be as a Lion. He came the 1st time to die for us all but His 2nd coming will be to judge the world. Accept Him now.

Glory to God!
