Nothing takes the God of pleasant surprises by
surprise which is why He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beautiful beginning
and glorious end. God always goes ahead of the enemy to safeguard His people. He is
in control of everything in the universe.
He knew that there would arise a Pharaoh determined
to annihilate the Jews in a progressively subtle manner. Yet, he allowed the
birth of Moses, the one who would lead the children of Israel out of Egypt at a
time like that. Moses’ parents would have given up but God gave Jechobed the
wisdom to hide him for three months after which He gave her additional wisdom
to keep him at the River on a specific day. Why that day? Jechobed was paid to
nurse her own child. She utilized the opportunity well. She instructed Moses in
the ways of God before taking him to the palace.
Quite interesting and instructive is the fact that many
at times, the devil thinks that God is not with us. But God always knows what
the enemy is planning to do and plans ahead of time His mighty deliverance for
us. As far as the devil and Pharaoh were concerned, the Israelites were shut in
by the wilderness. They took advantage of the situation to strike but unknown
to them, God had perfected the perfect exit strategy. Please see Exodus Chapter
14 as well as 1st Corinthians Chapter 2 verse 9.
Haman thought his game of annihilate the Jews was
over. But God had gone ahead of Haman long before he conceived his evil plan by
placing Esther in the palace.
He is God most High, Jehovah the El-Shaddai, King of
kings and Lord of lords. He enjoys and loves to give His children pleasant
surprises at all times. The God of pleasant surprises is the God who makes a
way where there is no way, the God who always exceeds our expectations. He is
the God of supernatural abundance who gives abundant harvests. The abundance is divinely supplied by God
through fruitfulness, multiplication and increase on all sides because
abundance in every area of life is the will of God for every child of His
walking in obedience to His instructions – Deuteronomy Chapter 28 verses 11 to
13, 30 verses 5, 9, 6 verses 10 to 11, 8.
There is therefore no more famine in Jesus mighty name – Ezekiel Chapter
34 verses 25 to 20, 36 verses 24 to 30 especially 29 to 30, and Joel Chapter 2
verses 21 to 26, especially 26. Be proactive; take advantage of all the
resources God put around you.
Therefore, do not fear when you are walking through
the darkness and there are shadows all around. This is because God will guide
you, keep you safe and sound. God who keeps you does not sleep nor slumber.
Please see Philippians Chapter 4 verse 6, 2nd Corinthians Chapter 9
verse 8, Psalm 91 verses 11 to 12, 121 verses 3 to 8, Numbers Chapter 6 verse
24, Isaiah Chapter 42 verse 6, 26 verse 3. He is good all the time and springs
up pleasant surprises all the time, Shalom.
