2 Days of Spiritual Encounter: You will make it

Ministers: Host, Dr. Abdul K. Sesay, Gen. Overseer; Co-host: Pastor Alex Cowan; Agnes Hannah Turay, minister; Rebecca A. Wright, guest speaker; Rev. Dr. Kamah Thoronka, guest minister

The same power of God that was at work at the I AM THAT WOMAN CONFERENCE was at Ohio, City of Light Centre to bless the congregation. From one minister to the other, the glory of God abounded immensely to heal, teach, and empower.

Rev. Dr. Kamah spoke from Exodus 14. This part of the Bible tells how God delivered the Israelites from an age-old entanglement in Egypt. The Israelites had been in slavery in Egypt for years. Hope was not in the picture for them and they expected none.

When Moses finally accepted the assignment and went on to give them the good news of God’s intention for them to live free, they could not accept this good news. It was hard for them to accept that God had this good plan for them. It was difficult for them to perceive freedom as a reality. This is true for some of us. We may have gone through traumatic years after the other such that it becomes difficult for us to believe and hope for good news or a turnaround. You may be praying but the situation keeps getting worse.

In the case of the Israelites, there was no need to fear or doubt the potential change in the future because there was a key ingredient. There was a promise of God. And that promise of God said I am delivering you out of Egypt [paraphrased]. In Jeremiah 1:12 (AMP), God said to Jeremiah, Then the Lord said to me, “You have seen well, for I am [actively] watching over My word to fulfill it.”

This should settle it for us. Even though the situation may get worse, as long as we stand on that promise of God, which God has said that He is [actively] watching over it to fulfill it; we should, rest assured, know that we will come out of it. Let’s keep hope alive.

Israel were not slaves in Egypt forever, despite how long they had been slaves. Your situation, despite how long it has been, will not remain so to the end. Jesus has moved in. Remember how even death did not deter Him. He did not stop at death to say, “Nothing can be done.” Before the tomb of Lazarus, He called out to a certified hopeless situation and there was a turnaround. Man (humanity) had concluded the situation hopeless and had rolled a stone to shut themselves from hope but Jesus said in verse John 11:39 that, Jesus says, “Take away the stone”. What situation are you in and have shut yourself up to God? Jesus is calling out to you to open up so He can reach you.
