Devotionals: Let my God fight for me

Posted on October 7, 2008

In Exodus chapter 8 verse 19, the Bible recorded this: “then the magician said unto Pharaoh, this is the finger of God: and Pharaoh’s heart was hardened heart was hardened, and he hearken not unto them; as the Lord has said.

Why Does God Point Out His Finger?
1. He points out His finger to fight for his people- it was that same finger that was pointed out at Jericho and Jericho fell flat. It was that same finger that was pointed out when the war started and they pushed the choir to the front and the soldier were at the back and the enemies began to fight themselves, and God people didn’t fight any battle at all. When the finger is pointed out, the battle becomes that of the Lord.

2. He points out His finger to confirm His true messengers- That was why He pointed out His finger at Mount Carmel and Elijah brought down fire

3. He does it to confirm His word – Paul shook off the serpent that had attached itself to his hand and the people expected him to fall down and die, but they found out that he didn’t die, why it was because the finger of God had already been pointed out.

4. He does it to demonstrate His awesome power-like He did to Lazarus. He said “Lazarus, come forth! And he came forth by the power of God. As far God is concerned once His finger is pointed out things happen at the fastest rate.

5. Point out his finger to reveal Himself as a God of providence- once that finger is pointed out, He will rain manna from heaven. It was same finger that was pointed out and fish became a bank, the same finger was point out and a little bit of fish and bread was served around five thousand people and even leaving leftovers.

6. He points out His finger to remove hindrances to his people’s blessing.

7. He points his finger to silence satanic ministers

8. He points it out so as to destroy the power of darkness just His little finger pointed out is enough to resolve any problem that anybody may be having right now. The trouble is that sometimes we come before God with dry faith, not expecting much to happen.

Someone comes before God, but really as you are before God, you believe more of what the experts have said, you look about what has been happening to others and use that to judge your own life.
