Why Would Anyone Want To Back T O Egypt When The Promis Land Is Yours!

As life happens Joseph and the Pharaoh died and the older generation passed off the scene. The new Pharaoh didn’t know Joseph or the relationship the Pharaoh and Joseph had and when he looked and saw the Children of Israel had become a nation of people he feared them and put them into slavery. After hundreds of years of slavery their mindset was that of slaves.

They were treated ruthlessly, killed indiscriminately, criticized, ridiculed, beaten, emasculated, abused, mistreated, plundered and many other things were done to them. Even though they were industrious and raised as Hebrews believing in the promise of God they became the product of their environment and turned to Idolatry because that was the norm of the culture they operated in.

It’s a terrible to become the product of your environment when the environment is so corrupt and ungodly as it was then and as it is now.

WATCH THIS:- When the Children of Israel were led out of Egypt by Moses, through the power of God it was all miracles, all power, all excitement, it was joy unspeakable and full of glory but just a little while later the honeymoon was over. The joy and happiness had turned to complaining and grumbling. They now had to believe God and trust Him for all of their provision, which HE was faithful to deliver, but it was a place of just enough, all of the variety they once were used to although they were in bondage was not available and they began to reflect on what it used to be like.

They no longer had idol gods to look at but they had to operate in faith and trust a God that was too Holy for them to look upon. They had been conditioned to walk by sight and not by faith. Their comfort zone and area of operating in familiarity was taken away. Although their past was slavery and oppression and they were considered the lower class and abused, they were comfortable because that was what they were used to. They were typical slaves with the slave mentality having to learn how to be free and now having to really walk out their faith and trust and take the initiative to inherit the promise land. They were accustomed to having everything delivered at their feet and felt that it should still be that way, yet they didn't want to be told what to do.

I like to believe that they felt like God I’m not sure I can trust you I feel better trusting myself and my past. I don’t see God moving right now and I don’t know how He is going to be able to do this that I need Him to do or I don’t know when He is going to move and I need Him to do it right now.

QUESTION:- Have you ever felt this way since you have been saved? If you haven’t hold on a while longer I promise you that it will come. The reason why we feel this way sometimes is because of the slave mentality. That’s why the Bible says in Romans 12:1-2 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, [which is] your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”. If I may say it like this En-Vouge said “Free your mind and the rest will follow”.
