TOPIC: GOD CARES FOR HIS PEOPLE

Guidance  – Exodus 14

When the Israelites left Egypt, God directed Moses to lead the Israelites back and encamp in front of Pihahiroth near the sea. Moses did as God told him. When Pharaoh was told that the Israelites had left Egypt, Pharaoh and his servants changed their mind towards the Israelites. Pharaoh took his army and chariots and pursued the Israelites. When the Israelites saw them approaching, they were so afraid but Moses told them not to be afraid because God will fight for them.

EVALUATION

God told Moses to stretch his rod to the Red sea and it parted to the right and left so as to allow the people pass through o dry land. Moses did as he was instructed. Immediately, a strong east wind caused the sea to divide into two, forming walls on both sides and all the Israelites crossed the sea on dry land. The Egyptians tried to cross to the other side like the Israelites did but God told Moses to stretch his rod and Moses did as he was told. Immediately, the waters came back upon the Egyptians and they were drowned. This event made the Israelites to fear God and they believed in Him and Moses.
