Easter Sunday sermon from Prophet Sunday Anifowose (Part 1)
Is this not the word that we told you in Egypt, saying, ‘Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians’? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than that we should die in the wilderness.”
13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”
15 And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. 16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. (Exodus 14:12-16).
God wants us to bring us to greater heights, to our land of destiny, but some of you may be feeling the heat and are saying "Leave us alone".
If you still have a mindset that is still in captivity, may the Lord deliver you today. Prophet Sunday shared that Moses calmed God's people and asked them not to fear and be still (verse13).
When Pharaoh finally reluctantly released Israel he told Moses that he does not to see his face ever again. Praise the Lord, likewise what has been afflicting us will not want to see us ever again!
24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.”
In verse 24 the Lord put a pillar of fire and cloud between the enemy and the Israel. In verse 25 the enemy wanted to flee from the face of Israel. Likewise, the Prophet said, your enemies will flee from your face. We will never see our affliction again.
As Israel approached the Red Sea there was no way forward so Moses asked the Lord what to do now. You may be in the same predicament, but just as the Lord made a way for Israel, He will certainly make a way for you in every area of your life.
Once you have entered the Red Sea, any negative thoughts or doubts will be purged. Amen! Israel latched on to the faith of Moses and God made a way. Our faith may be limited but we too can latch on to His perfect faith and see the miracle you need happen.
