TOPIC: HALF-HEARTED REPENTANCE

DCLM Daily Manna 26th February 2022 | MESSAGE:
The king of Egypt maltreated the Hebrews with hurting impunity and had settled within himself that the Israelites would serve the Egyptians forever. The fact that there was a personality coming to negotiate the freedom of the Jews was unwelcoming to Pharaoh. The stand of the king of Egypt was hard, rigid and final, as far as he was concerned.
However, little did Pharaoh realise that he had drawn a dangerous line of battle for himself with the Lord of the Hebrews whom he scorned and refused to recognise. Gradually, hell broke loose on the Egyptians with repeated plagues, which came upon them in quick successions until God unleashed upon them the plague of hailstone mingled with very grievous fire, such as there was none like it in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Pharaoh’s position in the ensuing conflict had led to devastating defeats and plundering of Egypt with many of his people crying out aloud about the damage their nation had suffered and continued to suffer for his stubborn stand on this matter. Pharaoh’s repentance in the past and present were deceitful and the servants of God – Moses and Aaron – knew beforehand that the worst must happen to Pharaoh before he would let Israel go.
Rebellious sinners and backsliders should know that nobody has ever contended with the Lord and prevailed. The only viable option for salvation, life and peace is for the sinner to repent genuinely and turn unto the Lord God of heaven in spirit and in truth.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is unwise to dare God.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Corinthians 8-11
