Our Response to God’s Authority

 Exodus 6-8; Luke 23 

“’…Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand he will let them go; because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.’…
The magicians said to Pharaoh, ‘This is the finger of God.’ But Pharaoh’s heart was hard…”

Exodus 6:1; 8:19

When the hand of God is on our lives and ministries, we become ambassadors and extensions of his kingdom mission in the world. God purposed to deliver Israel from Egypt just as he has purposed to make disciples of all nations. We, too, have been reminded like Moses that all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to the Lord. The smallest finger of God can shake a nation, even the mightiest nation on earth.

Will we keep our eyes on the Lord, his will, and his kingdom mission, or will we be distracted by the magicians of finance, politics, education, and religion?

God’s kingdom will confront every earthly kingdom in the last days and his mission will prevail. This is no time to harden our hearts to the authority of Christ.

“Lord Jesus, I submit to your hand and your will. Deliver our nation and your people from the enemy, for your glory.”
