Exo
14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."
Dear brothers and sisters
of our "Baroda Bible Club",
Loving
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. In this New month
February 2001God has given us a new Promise to strengthen our faith
life. This is from Exo 14:14 The LORD will fight for you; you
need only to be still." We must read the message given by
the servant of the most-high God here as in Exo 14:13 Moses answered
the people,
(1.),
"Do not be afraid. We must know how and when this fear
is coming in our life? (Gen 3:10 NIV) He answered, "I heard you in
the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid." Immediately
God asked him a question, "Have you eaten from the tree that
I commanded you not to eat from?"
Our Lord
Jesus Christ has told in Mat 10: 28 "Do not be afraid of those
who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid
of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Also in Mat
10: 30 & 31, "And even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
(2.),
Stand firm : We have to stand firm in
our commitment to our Lord. Apostle Paul says in I Cor 15: 58 Therefore,
my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always
give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you
know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. Any one
who is standing firm in the Lord will bear fruits as it is in John
15: 4 "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can
bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you
bear fruit unless you remain in me. Also in I Cor.16:13 "Be on
your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be
strong. Apostle Paul says God can help us to stand firm in 2 Cor.1:
21 "Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ.
He anointed us." In 2 Cor.1:24 but we work with you for your
joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.
(3.),
you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today.
The deliverance belongs to the Lord. That is why the Prophet Moses
told them as in Exo 14:13 "Moses answered the people, "Do not
be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD
will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never
see again. Also in 2 Chr 20:17 You will not have to fight this battle.
Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the
LORD will give you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid;
do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD
will be with you.'" In 2 Sam 22: 2 He said: "The LORD is my rock,
my fortress and my deliverer; Also in the Psalm 18:
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer;
my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the
horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
(4.),
The Egyptians you see today you will never see
again. God will never keep us under the same kind of test
again and again. Once we got victory in one test the same kind will
not be coming again. That is what Moses the man of God said here in
Exo 14:13 "Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid.
Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD
will bring you today. The Egyptians (Our enemies who keep on enslaving
us in different matters can not over power us. ) you see today you
will never see again. Also in John 8: 51 I tell you the truth, if
anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
The Bible
says in Deu.1:30 "The LORD your God, who is going before you,
will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes,
Also in Deu. 3:21 & 22, "At that time I commanded
Joshua: "You have seen with your own eyes all that the LORD your God
has done to these two kings. The LORD will do the same to all the
kingdoms over there where you are going. Do not be afraid of
them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you." In Deu.20:4
"For the LORD your God is the one who goes with you to fight
for you against your enemies to give you victory."
May the
Lord help each one of us to be bold since the Lord has not given
us the spirit of fear as in 2 Tim.1: 7 "For God did not give
us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.
As we stand firm in our faith God will certainly fight for us and
give us his blessings and strength in this new month. Have a victorious
month in Jesus Christ.
