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 9:12, “But the Lord hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he would not listen to them just as the Lord had told Moses.”
From the above context we learn that Pharaoh hardened his heart towards the Israelites. The Bible says, “With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; With a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; With the pure You will show Yourself pure; And with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. Thus we see that, “God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy and he hardens whom He wants to harden.”Since the heart of Pharaoh was hardened against the people of Israel, they wanted a change to take place in their lives. And they were delivered by Moses from the land of Egypt to Canaan a land flowing with milk and honey.
Whenever you are oppressed at your work place then remember that God is about to open a new way for you in your life. I wish to illustrate, with an example of how a girl was thrown out of her job and later how God blessed her with a new job. The young girl spoke to me about her experience as to how God opened a new way for her in the midst of agony. She was a hard worker. In order to improve the status of her company she took an extra mile, and her part was quite extraordinary in improving the status of her company. She took much effort to lift the company to a bigger level. Even when her father questioned, about her working for long hours, she told him that it was necessary to put on hard work as the company was on its way to progress. She said that all the workers needed to cooperate for betterment of the company.
But suddenly for no reason, she was thrown out of service from the company. She was very confused and did not know what to do. She cried out to me saying that she had taken huge sum of loan to purchase her house, a car, and other household articles trusting her job and her salary. She had to pay Rs 70,000 as EMI and she did not know how to pay for the next month. So she cried bitterly. Just then God spoke to her through me saying, “My Daughter, just as the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and thereby the people of Israel were delivered, in the same manner, seeing your hard work God wants to honour you and improve your status by hardening the heart of your authorities. So cheer up, God is about to open a new door or way for you.’’ She left hearing the promise of God for her. Later after three days, she had secured a good job with a better scale of pay. She was also provided with a car from the company. She couldn’t believe her eyes.
As soon as she got this new job she came back to me and said that God had performed a great miracle for her. She said, “I thought God had forgotten me, but I never thought that God would bless me in such a manner. I am very much astonished.” Yes, God will astonish you too with signs and wonders if you are diligent in your work and faithful to your authorities. Trust God for who He is and He will perform a miracle for you. He will pick you up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay and set your feet upon a rock, and establish your goings. He will put a new song in your mouth, even praise unto our God. Let the Lords name be glorified. God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Dear Lord help us to come out of debts, poverty, and all other tribulations that we are going through in our life. Lord perform a miracle for us with your mighty hand and outstretched arm that we may prosper in all the work of our hands. Help us not to borrow money from others, but lend to many. Give us life flowing with milk and honey.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
