Exodus 11
The 9th plague of darkness and followed by God revelation on the 10th plague.
v7:that the Lord makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.
I am disappointed that I am not promoted. But of course, I still have my increment and my pay has not stay stagnant.
What then - I pray. That the works of my hand is in favour with the Lord and that He will make a distinction between me and the rest of the colleagues.
I pray that the Lord will continue to supplement my pay with other sources of income from industrial projects - and of course my investment.
I pray for a cheerful and joyful heart for this year. Let not gloom and "relax..." let go and let God. Amen

7 Apr 2013; Exodus 10
Exodus 10
This chapter is about the 8 and 9 plague.
v1-2: that I may show these signs of mine among them, and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and of your grandson how I have dealt harshly with the Egyptians and what signs I have done among them, that you may know that I am the Lord.
Recently, the question on purposes was asked. I have another 15 more years or so to work. In cell, the same question. Rac ask the same question.
It should be clear that I as the first generation Christian in my household will continue to uphold and so that the generation to come continue to serve God. I hope to leave a legacy so that they can see and hear and continue to tell of their hearing about the signs and wonders of God - of what God has done in my life and then theirs. So that the next generations can know who is this God their Lord.
So how - application?
Serve God (v7) - dwell in the words of God, give praise and worship, pray
Commit - Church and cell and hopefully serve in the local church
Community - my reach out to the students, reach out to the economically less disadvantages and then overseas community service in China.
These I pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

4 Apr 2013; Exodus 9
Exodus 9
The first obvious sign of death came - the livestocks.
It was followed by boils - even the magician had boils and cannot even stand in front of Mosses.
The next massive destruction brings about a complete destruction to the economy - hail
Interestingly, hail has never occur in Egypt. - v24 such as had never been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
God gave a warning. Some Egyptian heed the advice - and bring their remaining livestock to safety. Other, I believe laughed because what is hail - never heard of and can not possible happen in this region.
God showed that He is indeed God of the earth, the economy, the weather...
I serve such a God - a God who demand worship but showed grace and not by fear.
This is the God whom I can lift up my worries to. Amen.

2 Apr 2013; Exodus 8
2 Apr 2013
Time and again the Pharaoh harden his heart. Many of his subject must have suffered because of his willfulness.
How many times then will you relent? Running time forward, the plagues cause Pharaoh his son, his first born.
The slaves are too much to give up.they are needed to build the empire. But when the plagues came, Pharaoh calculated his cost. Anyway it is going to be temporary. Moses always came to his help. When Pharaoh promise to let the Isaralties go, Moses will cry out to God and the plagues will be remove. Of course Pharaoh heart will still be harden.
But do not test the Lord your God and do not put Him to a test. Grace and mercy.
Ultimately, what do you want? It is the family - a leagacy that my children know God and fear God. The bondage has been broken for my family - from my father side and my mother side when I became the first Christian. Let the next generation be God fearing Christian and continue to be so.
As such, do not wait for plagues after plagues to come. the world has nothing to offer but he Lord has promise the promise land - an eternity in the Lord's kingdon - go for that.

1 Apr 2013: Exodus 10 Plagues
According to http://users.adam.com.au/bstett/BTenPlaguesEgypt78.htm the 10 plagues could be accounted and explain scientifically and has reasons supporting natural occurances.
However, Moses appeared before the Pharaoh before the presentation of each plague.
Therefore
"The Ten Plagues, by the Marr/Malloy explanation, were a rare sequence of natural events. Yet, Moses' appearances before Pharoah were perfectly orchestrated with the Plagues. It's like those movie scenes where someone about to be executed knows a solar eclipse is about to occur and wins his release by pretending to magically darken the sun!
The Ten Plagues therefore – if the scientific explanation moves us to accept the story – imply a behind-the-scenes-intelligence informed enough to direct Moses to act in perfect synchronicity with nature to achieve political and religious goals."

1 Apr 2013; Exodus 7
30 Mar 2013
The Lord is real. Today, I witness a salvation – Rachael’s
student.
Exodus 7:14:25 God stuck Egypt with the first plague. It
turned the water in the Nile to blood and nobody could drink of the water.
Pharaoh doesn’t care because the magician could do the same trick. The people
suffered but still managed to survive by digging along the Nile for water to
drink.
How many times will I need to repent? Or do I need to come
back to God. Let the world go, so that your soul can come back to God.
The harvest is ripe. God is grace. If he had killed off the
water source, Egypt would perish in 1 week. It takes another 9 plagues before
Pharaoh lets the people go.
I need to come back to God. I need to know what I need to
establish in my family, so that we will serve the Lord our God.
I pray therefore, God first, family unity second, place in
me a heart for soul. Amen.
