Faith and Actions.

 We must combine our faith with appropriate action. Note that God did not just arise & invade the red sea with a strong east wind to part it so as to allow the people to cross over on dry ground. HE required two things. One was that the people stop fearing & move forward. That was definitely a tall order for God to expect from people who were standing right infront of a sea that could drown them, while pharaoh's army was right behind them in hot pursuit. This is exactly what God requires us to do whenever there are tough decisions to make. That, we be still stand firm & move forward. Humanly speaking, it is not easy to make certain decisions not being certain what will happen & what tommoro holds. We must get rid of the fear of moving forward & trust God with our tomorrow for it is in HIS Hands. If you are there & there are some tough/risky decisions to make, gather courage & make them. Move forward regardless of how uncertain "tomorrow" seems to be. Friends, God will never demonstrate HIS power until we take a step of faith & move forward. Everything we venture into in this world is a risk. When we venture into business, farming etc, we are faced with the risk of failure or loss but the risk is worth taking. May the LORD help us to move forward no matter how risky it seems.

Secondly, the east wind only began to blow and part the waters when Moses raised his staff & stretched his hand over the sea. This was the rod of authority & leadership that Moses carried all along from his days of shepherding Jesthro's sheep. This was the same rod that turned into a snake in EXODUS 4 and 7. It was the same rod he was holding in his hand when israelites prevailed over the amalekites in battle as he raised his hands in EXODUS 17. The same rod that God in the same chapter had commanded him to use to strike a rock so as to get water for the people.

Friends, preachers & ministers carry the rod of authority like Moses in our generation. I just hope you have a Moses/ pastor who carries & lifts the rod of authority over your life. Today, I stand as a Moses & raise my spiritual staff of authority. I stretch my hand over that "red sea" standing before you & command it to part in JESUS Name. Move forward in your business, career, work in JESUS'Name. We also keep raising the same rod of authority & leadership over the "red sea" of our nation & command it to part in JESUS Name. For with God nothing shall be impossible
