On Eagle’s Wings I

Wednesday 8 April
READ: Exo. 19:1-5
MORE LESSON: Exo. 3:16 - 22

If you follow the story of Israel in the land of bondage , you will realize that for some of them, their slavery in Egypt could as well have been forever having lasted 430 years. This implies that there were some who were born and died in Egypt without tasting freedom. But a day came when Jehovah said to them, 'this affliction is not forever'. God expressed their deliverance by bearing them on eagle's wings. It was like God literally said, “Eagles, carry my children out of Egypt!” Eagles have speed, so an affliction of 430 years ended in a night. You will be carried on eagle's wings out of whatever represents an affliction in your destiny in Jesus Name.

When God said to Moses, “you saw what I did to the Egyptians”, God was actually giving a testimony of what He had done. The people also saw what God did, celebrated it and testified about it. So the affliction of 430 years became a testimony both for God and the people; God did and the people saw it. I want you to know today that God can do something in your life that will be a testimony for you and even for Him. When God uses your testimony to brag about Himself, that means your testimony has become God's testimony as well. I pray that God will do something in your life that next time someone wants to doubt Him, He will beat His chest and say, ‘Am I not the One that did . . .’

When God said 'did you see what I did to the Egyptians?' He was actually emphasizing the fact that He did it without anybody's contribution to the feat. It was purely the LORD's doing. 'The Lord's doing' is something that comes to you that you did not plan for, worked for, bargained for, and witnessed no effort of yours. In fact, you gave up on it and now it came as a surprise. What the LORD did to Egypt came as a surprise to both the Israelites and the Egyptians. The Egyptians could not comprehend the deliverance of Israel. In like manner your enemy will not comprehend your promotion because God Himself will execute the mission. It indeed will be the Lord's doing and it will be marvelous in your sight.

Prayer/Action
* Lift up your hand and declare that every captivity will become a past tense and a testimony
* Declare that the doings of the Lord will become a common occurrence in your life.
* Prophesy that you will ride on eagle’s wings above every mountain of your life.
* Give thanks for answered prayers with a song now.

PROPHETIC PRAYER
Every unrepentant pursuer of my glory, vowing not to give up, I command them dead, in Jesus’ name.
