Exodus 8
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs: 4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. 5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and smite the dust of the land, that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out his hand with his rod, and smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice in man, and in beast; all the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 18 And the magicians did so with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not: so there were lice upon man, and upon beast.
20 And the Lord said unto Moses, Rise up early in the morning, and stand before Pharaoh; lo, he cometh forth to the water; and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me. 21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
24 And the Lord did so; and there came a grievous swarm of flies into the house of Pharaoh, and into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt: the land was corrupted by reason of the swarm of flies.
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.
