Exodus 18:11 - God is Great

Exposition

I know now that the LORD is greater than all other gods, because he rescued his people from the oppression of the proud Egyptians – In delivering the people of Israel out of bondage, the Almighty God performed big miracles which travelled far and wide. The magicians of Egypt tried to replicate some of the miracles but they failed miserably.

Jethro, the father-in-law of Moses heard of the wonderful works of God and he decided to visit Moses. When he arrived, Moses confirmed what he had heard which led him to declare that the Almighty God is greater than the sum of all other gods. It is important to note that these gods are hand made by men, carried about by people. These so called gods are deaf and dumb and therefore useless to their adherents.

The God that was great in the Bible days is still great because He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Jethro and others like him heard about how God delivered His people. In the present day, the responsibility for telling non-believers about the greatness of God falls on you and I. The scriptures tell us that when we lift God up, He will draw men unto Himself.

Do not let any opportunity pass you by, tell the ‘Jethro’s’ around you what the Almighty God is doing or what He has done. Do not forget the obvious things, let His name be glorified in Jesus name. Amen

Prayer
Thank you LORD God Almighty for being my Father and my King.  I acknowledge your greatness today and forevermore. There is none like you. Before the beginning you existed. You continue to do great and mighty things.

Thank you for rescuing me from under the spell of the wicked one and it’s agents who abound all over. Let every proud Egyptian be buried in the Red Sea in Jesus name. I am free and by your grace nothing will cause me to go back to the Egypt that I have left behind in Jesus name. Amen
