"WHAT PHARAOH SAW AT THE RED SEA (1)"

Post date: Aug 30, 2018 3:46:11 AM

“I am the Lord, your Holy One, The Creator of Israel, your King. This is what the Lord says, He who makes a way through the sea and a path through the mighty waters, He who brings out the chariot and the horse, the army and the mighty warrior, they will lie down together, they will not rise again; they have been extinguished, they have been put out like a lamp’s wick: do not remember the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Listen carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; will you not be aware of it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:15-20

While Pharaoh went to the Red Sea to see the defeat of the children of Israel, he saw his own defeat; what he was waiting to lead them back to slavery and cruel captivity, he saw on the other side free. While he waits to see their humiliation, he saw his own humiliation; what he was waiting to see their head bowed down in shame and in chains begging, he saw their heads raised in praise and joyfully associating with others; while he was waiting to see them in tears and in fear, he saw them laughing with joy and celebrating a victory that was beyond human knowledge and understanding. Pharaoh went to the Red Sea with the best of his armies and left the Red Sea alone and lonely; he went to the Red Sea with a plan and a strategy, but at the Red Sea his plans were nothing compared to what God had planned and what God did. He went to the Red Sea with pride but left with shame and sadness.

At the Red Sea Pharaoh was disarmed, disgraced, humbled and humiliated and involuntarily surrendered to the supremacy of the Almighty God; at the Red Sea were he waited to celebrate with his armies, Pharaoh was disgraced, he saw his army destroyed, his men disarmed, killed and buried in the sea; he saw entire choice horses, chariots and weapons of war become ineffective, useless and destroyed. At the Red Sea, Pharaoh saw God in a new dimension and went to his home and to his throne sad and humbled. What do you think the Pharaoh in your life will see after Christ had finished what He had began in your life? I am convinced the Pharaoh’s seeking through wickedness and injustice to keep you lonely, hungry, jobless, shameful, and humiliated will not see you humiliated again; they will not see you loneliness again; they will not see you poor again; they will not see you hungry again; they will not see you childless again; they will not see you stranded again; they will not see you famished again, and they will not see you with the same eyes and mentality and knowledge as they saw you before. “But Moses told the people, don’t be afraid. Just stand still and watch the Lord rescue you today. The Egyptians you see today will never be seen again. The Lord Himself will fight for you. Just stay calm. That was what Moses said to the frightened Children of Israel standing with fear at the bank of the Red Sea wondering what mistake they had made and what their fate will be thereafter.

This was the promise of God “The Lord said, I have in fact seen the affliction, the suffering, the desolation of My people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters (oppressors); for I know their pain and suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a land that is good and spacious, to a land flowing with milk and honey, a land of plenty, to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite. Now, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to Me; and I have also seen how the Egyptians oppress them. Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and then bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” Exodus 3:7-10. Let me assure you that none of God’s word concerning you will fail irrespective of the situation and your location, none will be changed and none will fail to produce what He had intended, He will do all to see His plans are fulfilled, keep your hope and peace strong in His words and promises.
