Triumphing Over your Taskmasters
In the book of Exodus chapter one, after Joseph and his whole generation had died, the Israelite’s were fruitful, and increased abundantly in Egypt because of him.
When the new king had seen this, he was fearful and put task masters over them to oppress them.
The task masters made their lives bitter with harsh labor and afflicted them with heavy burdens; but as they did this, something unusual was happening.
The more that the Israelite’s were oppressed as the Egyptians worked them ruthlessly, the more they multiplied and spread abroad.
The Holy Spirit is showing me that many of you have been driven and oppressed by the enemy, as well as used and abused by people.
Some of you have gone through situations which have been brutal. As you fear God and not man, these afflictions are going to bring you into expansion, growth and prosperity.
The LORD says;
“Those who have tried to manipulate you and belittle you will soon recognize the favor on your life.
Those who have tried to control you and oppress you will soon withdraw because of the shield of protection that I have around you.
No one could bring harm to you as I am faithful to My word. I will establish you and guard you against all matter of evil.
Don’t fear the spiritual weapons that are formed against you because they shall not succeed, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment shall prove to be false.
The evil assignments that are coming against you will be rendered null and void. As the enemy tries to bring devastation and destruction, I will preserve your life.
This is your heritage as you abide in Me. Listen for My voice in every situation. Know that I AM present in every assault and violation,”
says the LORD.
Then the Holy Spirit showed me something else in the same paragraph of Exodus chapter one.
In verses 15-21, the king Pharaoh ordered the midwives to kill the first born males as they were born, but the midwives refused.
When he asked them why they didn’t obey, the midwives replied: “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.”
The LORD says:
“You will observe things coming into fruition and coming to pass expeditiously in your personal life.
The intentions that I have for you will come forth suddenly. And just as the Israeli women, you are going to produce in a way that will amaze others.
They will witness My goodness as they see your harvest in abundance.
You will see the increase even before the midwives come to assist you.
This will release you into favor with the Pharaoh’s and the oppressors, and many will begin to submit and reverence My name.
Even your enemies will be at peace with you as they see My goodness increase in your life,”
says the LORD.
“Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel. So the Egyptians made the children of Israel serve with rigor. And they made their lives bitter with hard bondage-in mortar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field. All their service in which they made them serve was with rigor,” Exodus 1:11-14.
“So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?” And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them. “Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very mighty. And so it was, because the midwives feared God that He provided households for them,” Exodus 1:16-18.
“By this I know that You are well pleased with me, because my enemy does not triumph over me,” Psalm 41:11.
“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom,” Luke 12:32.
