 Good morning. We thank the Lord because he has been so good to us all of this week. We are in day 7 and also the last day of our devotion in the morning. We have been running a series for the whole week, myself and my wife. And we have been having a theme that says let God be God. When we started, we saw a king, King Dairas, telling Daniel, my friend, they have duped me, but your God whom you serve continually will be able to save you. Then again we saw when Satan wanted to annihilate the Israelites, then God provides a way out unto them. And when Haman wants to finish Modikai, the king is just sleeping in the night and imagining how somebody saved him and say and then ask what can be done to such a man. God can provide a help unto you for a future that you cannot be able to understand. Then we saw someone in the Book of Esther how God worked with the children of Israel when this young girl is saying, I will go to the king. If I perish, I perish. By the way, in your challenges decide to remain with the Lord. If it means you perish, let it be nothing, better perish but stick with the Lord. Yesterday we saw a king who always loved to know the will of the Lord. This is Jehoshaphat. And when he is praying, he is telling God that your arm has might and power. And we don't know what to do, our eyes are on you God. And we are saying most of the time you don't know what to do, your eyes need to be on the Lord. Then the Lord answered him by saying that just take a position, stand still, do nothing because the battle is not yours, it belongs to the Lord. Do you know the challenges you have in life, these things that troubles you? You may think that it is your personal problem, it is your personal battle, it is not your personal battle. It is because Satan is battling with God. So God is telling you surrender unto me so that I can battle it out on your behalf. So stand with the Lord, wait upon the Lord, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. And that is why today we will look at the book of Exodus 14 and a bit of 15 and see how the Lord is fighting our battles. And I plead with you that in your life let God be God in your life. You understand it, the book of Exodus 14 is where the children of Israel are leaving Egypt and going to Canaan. And as they go they have a great trouble on the way that they have left but it is still reported that the children of Israel are running away. Then Satan enters the heart of Pharaoh and Pharaoh says that we are going for them. He left himself and with a team going for war, camels and all the like and soldiers. Then as they go the Israelites are seeing a great multitude coming behind them. I know you know this story and there is nowhere else they can run to because each side to the left or to the right there are mountains they can't go through it. In front of them there is the Red Sea and behind them Pharaoh is coming with people who are ready for war. Then they start crying and say telling Moses that there are no graves in Egypt. Why are you bringing us to die here in the wilderness? Then God tells Moses in Exodus 14 verse 13, then Moses said to the people, do not be afraid, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. God, they don't know what they can do. Just the same way Josaphat was telling God, we don't know what we can do. By the way even our imagination is limited. We don't know what we can do but the Lord in several places now is telling us, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Do you know here he is saying, when going through the zigzag routes you are taking in life, God is telling you that that journey might be long and tough but wait the Lord is going to save you. So just be in him, wait and see his salvation. Stand still and see what God is going to do. In the long run it will be a testimony. So that verse is saying, 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 Lord will fight for you and you will hold your peace. The Lord is willing to fight for you as you hold your peace. Then it continues. Then the Lord said to Moses, why do you cry to me, tell the children of Israel to go forward but lift up your road and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it and the children of Israel shall go on a dry ground through the midst of the sea. I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians and they shall follow them so I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots and his husband. Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord when I have gained honor for myself over Pharaoh, over his chariots and over his husband. God is saying here, Satan is playing with my children so it is a fight I must fight on their behalf and at the end of the fight they will honor me. I must gain honor over myself. By the way even all the things that you see in this world, Satan has brought sin. That sin is rampant everywhere. God will fight it until he will gain honor over himself. Stand with the Lord. When Luke 21 says, then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the Lord cost the sea to go back a strong east wind all that night and made the sea into dry land and the waters were divided so the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left hand and the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea the thing that I loved with that statement is that God is saying that Moses only stretched his hand but the waters were separated. There were waters on the left and waters on the right. Let me tell you there are so many theories that have come out that have been brought by Satan even to say that they did not go through the Red Sea. Some are saying they went, they stepped on the reeds that they passed and some are saying that this is a myth, it can't happen but let me tell you the Lord God of Israel has power to do this. How I wish you have gone to the coast lands and see the ocean and see the raging waves on the ocean, how they are powerful and that is how the sea is, powerful waves and water has a lot of power you would fear going into the waters and God is telling you that the water is divided and you can see a wall at the top there waves are raging at the top and you are seeing it on the right and on the left and you are down here, what is there is water it is something that is dreadful something you would not dare going into it by the way it needs faith to step onto that road that road is a difficult road you would not dare go through it but the Israelites believed God and what he said and they went through and when they went through what surprises me that the Egyptians are seeing that this thing can never be imagined Pharaoh could have seen this and said we have never seen such a thing and it can't happen maybe their God is so superior we never need to pursue these people but they just there, certain would just there and come when he is taking you to destruction he will just take you and you will be headstrong going for destruction then they follow in and then there is mud they can't reach them and there is a pillar of cloud covering their way they can't see until the Israelites pass over then they remain the Egyptians in the sea and all of them including Pharaoh died in the sea that is when God is saying you will know you will see it after I have gained honor over myself over Pharaoh sorry over Pharaoh and over the Egyptians and all his chariots he is telling you stand still and see the salvation of the Lord in your life wait upon the Lord the Lord wants to deliver you it might have been long but God is willing to deliver you so the last two verses Vasati and 31 is saying so the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of Egyptians and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea shore thus Israel saw great work which the Lord had done in Egypt so the people feared the Lord and believed the Lord and his servant Moses they saw the deliverance and they feared the Lord wait upon the Lord and see how the Lord is going to do his plans in your life and you will be surprised at the good plans that God has for you and you will fear him the more let God be God after this after this they sing chapter 15 I'll read verse 1 2 3 but I only need 3 but I'm reading all of them the next chapter which is 15 is saying then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord and spoke saying I will sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously by the way the Lord will bless you nothing to do but to praise his name I will sing to the Lord for he has triumphed gloriously the horse and the rider he has thrown into the sea the Lord is my strength and my song and he has become my salvation he is my God I will praise him my father's God I will exalt him just try to imagine verse 3 is my verse so I can hesitate a little bit in 30 seconds to say something try to imagine you know I come from a near water body which is is it the second largest fresh water lake in the world they tell me that it is 80 meters deep the deepest part then I think of the deepest lake they say is Lake Tanganyika which is 1.4 kilometers deep oceans can be so many kilometers deep and the sea is much more than that maybe they did pass through the deepest part which might be some kilometers deep but they might have passed only through somewhere which is 100 meters deep just imagine 100 meters water water making a wall of 100 meters going up on the right 100 meters of water on the left what if it is a kilometer you up there waters there and you are passing through after such deliverance you will tell God I will press you I will sing unto you because you have triumphed gloriously you have seen such kind of deliverance something you never imagined that is when you are telling God I don't know what to do Lord please deliver me so Vastari is saying 15 Vastari is saying the Lord is a man of war the Lord is his name by the way this is my Vast I like somebody who is going for war a man who will go into war and succeed the Lord is a warrior the Lord is his name my God is a man of war if Satan tries to come and battle me my warrior will come and he will triumph gloriously in all your challenges the Lord is coming to battle it for you believe this man believe he is a man of war in your problems in your challenges there is a man of war who wants to fight for you and he must win the battle our song 439 when you look at the second stanza I don't know whether it can be projected song 439 we are seeing the second stanza before we sing the whole song and pray it is saying I ask the warrior on the field this was his soul inspiring song with courage bold the sword I will the battle is not long then whip no more endure the conflict till thy works is done for this we know the prize is sure when the victory is won the battle is not long be confident that we are going to win the conflict God bless us
