Bible reading: Acts 7: 6-7
Memory Verse: Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress. Psalm 107:19
I’ll want us to compare two Bible passages:
Genesis 15:13: “And he said unto Abram, know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years”.
Exodus 12:40: “Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.”
God doesn’t tempt but God tries our faith (James 1:3). Before every promotion, there must be a test. However, there are powers that prolong affliction. There are powers that want you to die unsung, uncelebrated and above all, increase the days of your wilderness experience. These evil powers are called Problem Expanders. From the above passages, the original plan of God for the Israelites was to spend 400 years only in Egypt and after that, enter into Canaan, a land flowing with milk and honey. These powers prolonged their captivity in Egypt adding thirty extra years of suffering, affliction and bondage. If you don’t get aggressive in your spirit and put up a serious fight to break free from every works of the devil, one could end up being a spiritual casualty from cradle to old age. Beloved, these powers are terrible.
Quote: Terminate your terminator by fire, by force.
Prophetic Word: After the order of Dathan, Korah and Abiram, I bury problem expanders in your life, in Jesus name.
