Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord




There is trouble on every side, and sometimes you feel like running away and hiding. There's this song I love that says:

"There's trouble on every side, so I guess you want to run and hide. Your enemy is out for you, and you don't know why."

As a teenager, I sang those lyrics because they sounded nice. However, as I grew older, I began to understand them better. There are moments in life when the weight of challenges and troubles makes you want to run and hide. But how long can you keep running? The challenges of life do not operate on a timetable. If you run today, when will you return and run again?

When we look at the story of the Isrealites, we realise that they had been in bondage in Egypt for 430 years, waiting for deliverance. Then God brought as a deliverer and Moses came with God's message, many of them struggled to believe. They had become so accustomed to slavery that freedom seemed impossible. Looking at the Egyptians, they could not imagine a way of escape. Bondage had become their normal.

Yet God sent Moses with a word of hope and a message of God for Pharaoh. When they finally left and got to the red sea there were unable to cross because it was a sea and they were men not fishes, forgetting that God who had asked them to go through that route is willing to create a road and they said, you should have left as slaves, Moses response was thus.

Exodus 14:13-"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

The Egyptian can be your troubled marriage.
 It can be your child.
It can be that job your are seeking.
it can be the breakthrough.
It can be any set back you are facing now.
But beloved I want to let you know that there is nothing too hard for God to do, tarry in prayer, do not back down for the Egyptians you see today you shall see them no more.
Do not normalise what God has paid the price for, rise up and take that posture of Surrender and ask him for a change, standing on his word.



STAY REVIVED!

Following God's Instructions

1 Samuel 15:22 (MSG) Then Samuel said, Do you think all God wants are sacrifices—empty rituals just for show? He wants you to listen to Him! Plain listening is the thing, not staging a lavish religious production. Not doing what God tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult. Getting self-important around God is far worse than making deals with your dead ancestors. Because you said no to God’s command, He says no to your kingship. Many times, we assume that what God desires most are our lavish religious activities and how we present ourselves publicly. While those outward expressions have their place, what matters even more is obedience —simply following instructions . The world itself was created through divine instruction. God spoke, and creation came into being. This shows us the power and importance of responding to God's voice. When He commands, He’s not just looking for compliance—He’s calling us into alignment with His will and purpose. God chooses people for ...

How do we Manifest?

Some weeks ago, while sleeping, the Holy Spirit spoke these words to my heart: "Who has been living, is it you or the scriptures? What has been breathing successfully in you? Because I have sent you to be living epistles, that is to come in the volume of the books that have been written about you. To be this living epistle, that is when you have come alive, the very moment I have come alive in you, living, breathing, and working in you. Be my living epistle." I knew I had to write it down, or I'd forget once I got busy. Later, while preparing for my birthday, I stumbled upon these words again. I wanted a unique experience, so I decided to go on a three-day fast before my birthday. The Holy Spirit asked me to extend it to five days. As I sought God for a brighter 28th year, He said, "Happy birthday" with these words: "I want to do more than provide for your daily needs, give you excellent children, business, or career. I want to live, breathe, and move in yo...

Do You Desire a Shield Too?

  Today, as I reflect on the words the Lord spoke to me at the beginning of the year and the constant affirmations of His promises, I couldn't help but take a moment to consider the reality of my own existence. Could it be that the Lord didn't truly speak, or maybe I just didn't hear His voice clearly enough before stepping out? I also thought of you, and how, just like me—and maybe like David too—we keep running from our adversaries. But the truth remains: the Lord has anointed us. He has indeed given us His word that we are anointed to rule. My heart goes out to David as I try to understand how he must have felt, being chased from pillar to post. Yet, the Lord gave him a word. God took the time to allow the scribes to pen down these words because David's journey is not just his own. It’s a journey we all take as we step into God’s promises for our lives. It becomes our reality the moment we say yes to God. He gives us His promises, and while we may be fleeing from our...
