In Exodus
8 v 1-5,16-18, 20,21,24 we read of what God did and He did all these things
through His finger. God is Spirit. He has no physical hand as we do and so He uses a
language we can understand and that is the body that we have. There were three funerals yesterday. A person cannot be in three places at once and so I
could only go one of the funerals but God is not like that.
He comes down to our level by using the example of the finger. It is only a small member of the body. Do you see how great God is? He did all these wonders only using His little
finger. The river turned to blood; there were
insects everywhere and He didn’t have to exert Himself.
Moses was given two tablets of stone written on by the finger of God. For the first time in history God wrote something
for men that they could understand. God in
heaven wrote a letter for people to keep.
In Psalm 8 v 3 and 4, it says
that God created the heavens and earth just with His finger.
Only a few of the stars are visible. The
light of some stars has not yet reached earth. What
is son of man that you care for him? Moses and
Aaron went to Pharaoh and asked him to let the Israelites go so that they could go and
worship God. Moses was the first person to
perform miracles. Why did God do this? It was so that Pharaoh would know that God exists. Moses took his staff and the dust became gnats that
stung the people and animals. The river turned
to blood. Pharaoh’s magicians also turned
the river into blood but then they could not turn it back into water again. Pharaoh’s magicians could do some signs but
when they made their sticks into snakes, Moses’ snake swallowed their snakes. The power of God was much greater than their power.
Heathen’s often
recognize the power of God better than Christians do.
Lukewarm Christians compromise and fail to discern good and evil. God’s power is incomparably great and God
manifested His power in delivering the people from Egypt.
First it was through miracles that Moses did and then when Jesus did
miracles and drove out demons, the power of God was manifested. Ephesians 1 v 15.
By the mighty power of God, Jesus was raised from the dead and Satan was
placed under His feet. No matter if who the
demon is or whether it is cancer of HIV, Jesus’ name is greater than that. This power will cause you to be a victor in this
world. Some of the children from DSS have gone
into the world because they do not know the power of God.
A parent is afraid for his child because he doesn’t know the power of
God. Paul prayed for the Christians that their
eyes would be enlightened. The three young men
in the furnace of fire knew the power of God.
Is that your life or do you
get irritable or men fall for a girl because she is wearing trousers? If this is what God did with just His finger, how
much more can He do with His full strength. You
need to be plugged into His power in the same way as an electrical appliance is plugged
into the electricity. If you just go to church
and do not have His power, you will be twisted. Are
you plugged into God? If you are, people
around will feel it. |
