Protection of our Rod

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the past days we have been meditating regarding certain thoughts about let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; and let the sea roar. The reason for this is to deliver our spirit, soul and body from the bondage of Egypt and take us out, God uses our forefathers as a pattern for us. 

That is, our forefathers, which are our father’s of the tribes, when their generation was in the bondage of Egypt for four hundred years which God had told them, God saw their affliction and God appeared to Moses in the bush and called him and in order to send him to Egypt God speaks to Moses and when he speaks in Exodus 3: 18, 19, 20 Then they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, ‘The Lord God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ 

But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. 

So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders which I will do in its midst; and after that he will let you go.

My dear people, in the past days we meditated few things about judgement. That is, when our heart is hardened, we will not obey God’s word and walk against it. At that time, our soul will be afflicted and groaning. When we are unable to get freedom and are suffering, God sees our affliction and delivers us through his servant from all the deeds of Egypt and in order for God to take our spirit, soul and body (inner man) holy without any blemish, God keeps Moses in front for us, shows us as a pattern and just like how he sends plagues to Egypt, he sends many plagues to our soul and is waiting longingly to save our soul. That is the reason why God sent our Lord Jesus Christ to our soul.

In Egypt, God showed the power of his hand and redeemed and saved Israel. In the same manner, in our lives and now in our countries that is what God is doing. This is an important thing which each and everyone of us must know.

Through this our soul should get a salvation.

But in Exodus 3: 22 But every woman shall ask of her neighbour, namely, of her who dwells near her house, articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing; and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters. So, you shall plunder the Egyptians.”

My dear people, every word does not belong to the world. Everything is explaining heavenly things and God is explaining it to us as a pattern. We must make sure that we do not hold on to vanity. We must not follow vanity. When we say gold, silver everything in this world is vain. All these things will perish. We must only follow things which do not perish, which will be present eternally which are things pertaining to the eternal kingdom. Because what God said that they will come from Egypt with many things the reason for that is God is showing us that the things of the Egyptians will be plundered by the Israelites. The reason for this is when the Egyptian is suffering with the plagues the Israelites can plunder. That is why God is showing the power of his hand there. He is performing a big judgement.

My dear people, we must not think that God is doing these things for someone else, but he is doing this in our lives. When our heart was in Egypt, the gold and silver things that we received is grace, the garment of decoration which we received through the word of God and our soul will wear it as Israel. That is what God is telling, articles of gold, articles of silver and clothing she will ask them. When we say she will ask it shows a woman. That woman is The Holy Spirit, the bride. This is the garment of salvation. If we have to start our journey of faith, we must wear the garment of Christ.

Before we wear Christ, the garment our soul will wage a war. That is when God spoke to Moses, Moses is telling God in Exodus 4: 1 Then Moses answered and said, “But suppose they will not believe me or listen to my voice; suppose they say, ‘The Lord has not appeared to you.’ ”

So the Lord said to Moses, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”

And God is telling him, “Cast it on the ground.” So he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Reach out your hand and take it by the tail” (and he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand), 

“that they may believe that the Lord God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.

When Moses told that the Egyptians will not believe him, he is first showing Moses two signs. That is, the rod which is in his hand is Christ. But if you put it in the ground, mainly your faith if it is in the dust, then for us who have the deeds of Egypt it will become a serpent. But if you are carrying Christ, for us it will be a rod. Rod is a particularly important thing. We will meditate about it in the following days. 

Furthermore the Lord said to Moses, “Now put your hand in your bosom.” And he put his hand in his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow.

This shows that our hand should be Christ’s hand (should be filled with righteousness). But if we do not leave the deeds of Egypt, this shows us that then our hands are stained.

And He said, “Put your hand in your bosom again.” So he put his hand in his bosom again, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his other flesh.

Now we must think for ourselves. The thoughts of our soul should be one. If our fellowship will only be with Christ, our soul will be able to be in faith, love and holiness. God will bless the deeds of our hands. 

Let us pray.

May the Lord bless us all.
