Earlier,God had promised Abraham dat tru him,d whole world would b blessed.Abraham had Isaac, Isaac had Jacob nd Esau,nd Jacob had 12 sons.By d time dey got 2 Egypt,dey were 70 in number.Dere afta God began 2 multiply dem ova a period of time 2 such an extent dat dey bcame a mighty nation within Egypt.D Egyptians howeva bcame afraid of dem.Afta all d Pharaohs dat knew abt Joseph died,one came who did nt knw Joseph.Dis Pharaoh came up wit an evil strategy against d children of Israel.We ought 2 learn a few lessons 4rm dese events.We know dat changes re bound 2 occur as one government gives way 2 anoda.Some wil recognise nd represent ur interest while some odas wil nt.Yet,irrespective of d earthly government in power @ any given moment,d divine government of d Most High God remains unchangeable.Since dis divine government is d highest level of government,it can impose its will on all earthly governments.Derefore 2 remain relevant @ all times,stay connected wit d government of heaven. I once asked God y He decided 2 hide so many truths in d Book of Exodus,nd He replied dat Book of Exodus is d book of d rapture.He said just as d children of Israel went en masse 4rm Egypt so wil d saints leave d world someday.Are u prepared 4 dis glorious day? Remember dere may b no notice oda dan a reminder like d one u re havin nw.Moreova,we also learn hw dangerous it is 2 hav power witout d fear of God.A man who can order d death of innocent babies is a dangerous fellow,which is y we must pray fervently dat 4rm nw onwards,anyone witout d fear of God wil neva rule our nations again.Anyone in government who does nt care abt preserving d lives of dose under him or her has failed in governance.Wen d righteous re in authority,joy should flood dat city,state,or community.But if u claim 2 b righteous nd dose under u re in sorrow during ur dispensation,u re a shame 2 d Body of Christ.Hw is ur life bringing joy 2 others?
