My Dear Brothers and Sisters, I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today is from the book of Exodus 3:7, And the Lord said, “I have surely seen the oppression of My People, who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry, because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrow”.
My dear brothers and sisters, from the above context we see that the Lord had seen the affliction of his people. He had sympathy towards them, an affectionate concern for the people of Israel. A chosen generation, a royal priest hood, a holy nation, His own special people. He called them out of darkness into His marvellous light. He chose them not because they were great in number but because they were the fewest of all people. They did not choose Him but He chose them. He chose them in the furnace of affliction. He chose them because He loved them all the more.
The Bible says, The cry of the children of Israel has come to Me. I have seen the misery of the people. I have heard their cry, I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, are you oppressed by your authorities ? Are you depressed and dejected in life because of oppression. The Lord will deliver you from such situation. He knows your current state of life. He knows what you are going through. He will change your sorrow into joy. Your curse into a blessing. He is a powerful God. He has the ability to change your situation in a moment.
The Bible says, He does not forget the cry of the humble. He will never forsake those who seek His face. The needy shall not always be forgotten. The expectation of the poor, shall not perish forever. God not only saw their affliction but He sent Moses His servant to deliver them from the cruel hands of their task masters for He knew their sorrow. He not only delivered them but brought them out into a good and large land flowing with milk and honey. Milk and Honey indicates prosperity. He released His people from bondage and slavery and granted them freedom and made them to prosper in the land of Canaan. God will do the same thing for you also. He will lift you up from the miry clay and set your feet upon a rock. The Lord will not burden you with more problems than what you can bear. He will put a new song in your mouth. And many will see how God has lifted you up. And you shall praise the Lord.
God bless you.
Prayer:
Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Thank you Lord for hearing our cry and for redeeming us from those who afflict us. Lord never forsake us or forget us for we totally depend on You for our needs. We surrender our life to you. Lord deliver us from those who cause pain to us. In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
