KEEP STANDING

“And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.” Exodus 12:41 KJV

Pharaoh resisted Moses and the people of God. But they stood their ground. Many miracles were performed in Egypt but Pharaoh kept resisting. The devil is an oppressor! He does not give up easily. That is what oppressors do. They keep giving you an impression that they have the power of life and death. But you have a strong conviction, you will continue to stand. Hence the Bible declares: “…by knowledge shall the just be delivered” (Proverbs 11:9 KJV). We need understanding to know that what God has done is permanent. God is a covenant keeper and regardless of what the enemy is doing, God’s promises can never fail.

The people of God were in bondage for 430 years! To an ordinary mind, it was over – the promise and assurance of God could never come to pass. Pharaoh had taken over and God’s people would be slaves permanently. But God showed up supernaturally! The captivity of 430 years eventually came to an end.

You will not be a slave to the devil! Demons will not dictate in your lives! You are about to enter what God has ordained for you. For too long, the devil has threatened your life but the God that we serve cannot lie! There shall be an overnight miracle in your life. The Lord is bringing you out of every captivity.  Keep standing on the promises of God. You will not be ridiculed. You shall be massively blessed. Every device of the crafty against you shall be disappointed.

Your rights and privileges will not be violently taken from you. God still rules in the affairs of men. You will not see shame! You will be settled. You shall never be stranded. So, I encourage you never to give up. Keep standing! Hold on tenaciously to the Word of God. He will show up for you.
