GET OUT OF EGYPT!

Exodus 3:8 AMPC

And I have come down to deliver them out of the hand and power of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and large, a land flowing with milk and honey [a land of plenty]-to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

 

“Get out of Egypt” has become a thing in daily speech, usually among Christians but it has crept all over, but I doubt everyone knows the meaning or understands the implication. 

The story of “get or come out of Egypt” spans Exodus 3, 12, and 15. The phrase "get out of Egypt" is used today in Christian teachings as a symbolic or spiritual message, not just about a physical place. Egypt was the place where the Israelites were slaves for many years. Until the Lord used Moses to lead them out of Egypt and into freedom. 

Coming out of Egypt means leaving behind bondage, suffering, or a life of sin. It often symbolizes God giving someone freedom, a breakthrough, or a new start. 

Applying the idea of "getting out of Egypt" in our lives means choosing to leave behind anything that keeps one stuck, unhappy, or far from God’s plan for them. 

What is Egypt for you? We must first identify our “Egypt” by realizing and acknowledging what is holding us back spiritually, emotionally, or mentally. 

Is it fear, anger, unforgiveness, gossip, addiction, or a toxic relationship? 

Is there a habit or mindset that keeps us from growing? 

Our Egypt could be anything that feels like bondage or keeps us from living in freedom and peace. 

In Exodus 12:31-33, Pharaoh called Moses and Aaron and told them, “Get up and leave my people—you and the Israelites. Go, worship the Lord as you have requested.” Pharaoh even asked them to pray for him as they left. The Egyptians hurried the Israelites out of Egypt, saying, “If you don’t leave, we will all die.” 

From this, we can conclude that Egypt is a double-edged sword. A sword that frees one but destroys the other. 

The Israelites came out of Egypt, but Egyptians died! 

When we get out of bondage or any kind of situation we face, that situation ends or dies or the demon troubling the person dies. It took Israel a long time to get out of Egypt, with the ping-pong between Moses and Pharaoh, with Pharaoh resisting letting them go and Moses determined to get them out. Life is naturally and generally a struggle, and often painful, but we must struggle and fight out of every situation that does not glorify God and benefit us. 

Fight and struggle out of every situation that is your Egypt, even small steps matter and would get you out of Egypt quicker than remaining there. God honors our decision to move forward and helps us to do so gradually, maybe not so easily but certainly triumphantly as Romans 8:37. 

Act by the Spirit of God because freedom often requires steps of faith. 

Getting out of Egypt means letting go of unhealthy habits or relationships. Forgive those who hurt you. Speak truth instead of gossip. And always endeavor to replace fear with faith. 

We may sometimes be tempted or even do go back to Egypt for whatever reason, even the Israelites sometimes wanted to go back to Egypt when things got hard as seen in Numbers 11:5. But God had something better ahead, never behind. Bearing that in mind, we must stay focused on our growth and not return to old habits. 

Learn to surround yourself with people who encourage you to keep going and not go back. People who will push you to walk in your new life. Live purposefully, using your gifts to serve others. Just as God didn’t just bring the Israelites out alone—He brought them into the Promised Land, He will do the same for you. 

REFLECTION QUESTIONS 

-         Are there areas of my life, that may be an Egypt. How do I recognise them?

-         What is one thing I need to leave behind to follow God more closely? 

-         What step can I take today to move forward? 

-         Who can support me in this journey? 

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I want to start fresh. I don’t want to go back to my old ways. Help me to keep moving forward, even when it’s hard. Fill me with Your Spirit and guide me every step of the way. Thank You for giving me a new beginning. Amen.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO START AGAIN!

Job 17:10-11 GW   "But now, all of you, come and try again! I won’t find one wise man among you.  My days are passing by. My plans are broken. My dreams are shattered."[10]   Life may require us to start again—and it’s never too late to start over. One of life’s certainties is that everyone will experience failure at something at some point. Life is never an unbroken series of victories. Setbacks, losses, and sometimes defeat will happen and may overwhelm us. Defeat may be thrust upon us by circumstance or by others, or we may defeat ourselves by our own thoughts and actions. When this happens, some give up, some persist until they succeed, and others are willing to start over again. Luke 7:11-15 gives the account of the widow of Nain, on her way to bury her only son, crying, distraught after losing another close family member. On the way, Jesus saw her, had compassion, and acted.  The woman must have thought, "Is He kidding? Does He know what I've been t...

DIVINE VISION!

Jeremiah 1:1-11 NASB The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, [2] to whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. [3] It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the exile of Jerusalem in the fifth month. [4] Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, [5] “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you; I have appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” [6] Then I said, “Oh, Lord God! Behold, I do not know how to speak, Because I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ Because everywhere I send you, you shall go, And all that I command you, you shall speak. [8] “Do not be afraid of them, For I am with you to save you,” declares the Lord. [9] Then the Lord stretch...

RESISTANCE FROM STEPPING INTO PURPOSE!

John 16:33 AMPC I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]   Stepping into your God-given purpose is one of the most powerful decisions you will ever make. But it is also one of the most resisted. The Bible makes it clear that whenever God calls a person, opposition rises—externally, internally, and spiritually. Jesus Himself tells us that trials will come, but His victory gives us courage and peace. Every believer must understand this: resistance is not a sign that you’re in the wrong place; it is often proof that you’re stepping into the right one. Everyone called by God faces resistance! Throughout Scripture, the moment people stepped into divine purpose, they faced pushback. ...
