[Exodus 14:13-16 KJV] “And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. [14] The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. [15] And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward: [16] But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea”.
If you have to change your message to stay relevant, you were no prophet!
Do you remember when Moses and Israel stood at the Red Sea? Israel began to cry and Moses lifted his voice to pray, but God rebuked him! What did the Lord tell you before the challenge, affirm that! Speak that word. Stop crying to God and continue commanding the people. Speak the word and do what God asked you to do.
This is the time when leaders must take bold and decisive decisions. We must arise and lead the masses into the vision and instructions that the Lord gave us from the beginning. Don’t allow the present challenges to sway you from the initial commandment that you received. This is the time to press on and run the race.
Let not your heart fail. Let us step forward, of course, we would need to tread cautiously. But this is the time to show courage, strength and faith. This is the time to rally round the cause and let us fight together. Let us spread the good news and build faith. Let us march forward and change the narrative. Be careful but be bold and strong.
This is the time to arise together and face the storm. May the Lord give us a strong heart and faith to support the cause of Christ and our leadership as we fight together. We may be confronting the Red Sea today, but that is no reason to cry. Let’s arise and march forward, pressing on into the future and we will see the hand of the Lord working for us. Nothing can drown you! You will walk as on dry grounds. You will advance and arrive in the name of Jesus Christ; just step out boldly!
I love you!
