MESSAGES

Go Forward! (Exodus 14:15)

How many wonders God did through Moses when he sent him to Egypt to free the people of Israel who had been oppressed and suffering for around 400 years, and many of those years, living as slaves.

In Exodus 3:9-10 we see God speaking to Moses, revealing the providence that He would give to the suffering of His people.

Exodus 3:
9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them.
10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.

At that time the nation of Israel was a pilgrim in Egypt and had become more numerous and stronger than the Egyptians themselves and the persecution of them had begun, about 400 years earlier, when Joseph, a foreigner, was appointed by Pharaoh as a kind of prime minister, displeasing many Egyptians.

Just like that time in Egypt, God knows our lives and He observes everything that happens to us.

He knows your struggles, your worries, your plans, your crying, your joy.

I always say that “SEEKING GOD” is part of man's instinct, just as a newborn baby seeks his mother's breast to breastfeed, without anyone teaching him, so is man, in a moment of need, sometimes extreme , he will seek God, simply because God is his creator and even if instinctively, man knows that God can help him.

However, seeking God's providence should not be an act of despair but rather an act of faith, believing that God can always bring deliverance and help.

It is very common to see people going to church because they are suffering, seeking help for their problems.

These people are certainly not interested in God, but in solving their problems and when their problems are solved, they will automatically stop going to church.

Luke 13:34 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing.

You must seek God because you believe in him and know that in him you will find much more than the simple solution to a problem.

In God you will find: Peace, security, comfort, protection, consolation, joy and prosperity, both material and spiritual.

You must seek God, because you love Him and because you desire to be with Him, talking, worshiping, seeking full communion with Him.

John 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.

You must seek God because without Him you can do nothing.

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

You must seek God because He is your life and in Him is your salvation.

Deuteronomy 30:20 and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

If you seek God, as He desires, you just have to march, not only for the solution of problems your problems, but for a life of peace, security, comfort, protection, solace, joy and prosperity, both material and spiritual.

Exodus 14:15 Then the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
