GO FORWARD AND GET BLESSED

“And the Lord said to Moses, “....Tell the children of Israel to go forward.” – Exodus 14:15

Most of us know the incident that was given in this chapter. Israel people came out of Egypt. Pharaoh with a mighty army pursued Israelites. As God asked Israelites to camp by the sea they were camping near the sea.

When the Egyptian army came against Israelites they could not go forward as they faced sea in front of them. They were struck in between the Egyptian army and the sea.

Bible says that their hearts were filled with fear. It happens even in our lives too. There were times in our lives we were chased by the sorrowful things and we could not move forward as we find no way in front of us. At those times we think that our life has come to an end.

Even Israelites thought they will die. But God’s word came to Moses asking Israelites to go forward.

When God asks us to go forward we have to know that He will go before us and will show a way in which we should walk.

As God told Israel people to go forward, He also told Moses, a way to divide the sea. Indeed God went before them and divided the sea and made a dry land for Israelites to walk safe in midst of the sea.

As the Israelites started to move forward, God did a miracle for them. Even today Jesus Christ is asking you to go forward. Do not stand in midst of the problems and murmur against God or people.

God does not want you to get struck in a place and complain about the life and the toughest situations. He wants you to move forward. When you decide to move forward He will surely make a way for you and you will safe in His hands.

As Israelites continued to walk in the midst of the sea the angel of the Lord went behind them and protected them from their enemies. Finally God destroyed the enemies by causing the sea to go back upon the Egyptians and their armies.

Even today as you go forward by putting your faith in God, He will protect you from your enemies and destroy your enemies.

Recently I came to know about a testimony of a young woman. She came to me and shared with me about how God spoke to her when she went through a toughest situation. From her birth to her marriage she lived in a particular city. As she lived in that city for several years she liked the city so much. But unfortunately her husband has lost his job in this month. As their family was caught up in the toughest situation she doesn’t know what to do. She has a girl child who was going to school. 

They feared about their lives as they don’t find a way to move forward. But as they prayed to God, He opened a way by giving a job to the husband in another state. She could not accept the blessing as she liked the city she was currently living. So she prayed to God to speak to them in a church service. God spoke to them through the above verse and clearly told them that He will bless them as they go forward to another state. She happily told me that they are leaving as a family in the coming month and she told me that Jesus Christ will surely bless her family.

My dear young friends, even you might be going through a toughest situation in which you don’t know what to do. You might be having a fear that you will never get any blessings in your life from God. Do not worry my dear friends. Jesus Christ is telling you to go forward in your life.

Jesus Christ will go before you and will show a way in which you should walk. Leave your past failures in the hands of Jesus Christ and go forward. Do not worry about the happenings of your past for God is going to do a new thing in your life. As you go forward you will see Jesus Christ doing miracles in your life and protecting you from the hands of your enemies.

Go forward and get blessed.
