“But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.”
Exodus 1:12 KJV
The new Pharaoh panicked seeing the extraordinary growth of the Israelites and said that they were more and mightier than the Egyptians. Aggravated, he oppressed the Israelites with forced labour and cruel taskmasters to make them bitter but even that didn’t stop their growth. Today, the enemy attacks those of us who are in Christ because we are a great threat to him. He Who lives in us is the greatest! All the persecution, afflictions, sufferings, hardships and tribulations that the enemy brings will not stop the Kingdom of God from increasing. We are hard pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed. Through this, the life of Jesus is manifest in us. Let the Holy Spirit power reflect the glory of God in and through us who are in Christ. Hallelujah!
