No Revolution without Revelation



Revelation & Revolution


Exodus 2:23 After a long time, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites groaned and cried out under their burden of slavery, and their cry for deliverance from bondage ascended to God.
Exodus 2:11-12 In the course of time Moses grew up. Then he went to see his own people and watched them suffering under forced labor. He saw a Hebrew, one of his own people, being beaten by an Egyptian. 12 He looked all around, and when he didn’t see anyone, he beat the Egyptian to death and hid the body in the sand.

Israel lived in the choicest part of Egypt. They had the best weather, water and they had the most fertile land in the whole country. There was a time when they enjoyed what they had, but there came a season where the physical benefits of the land they had could not be seen because of the conditions they were now living under.

A man who had revelation (Joseph) got Israel to live in the best part of a foreign land without paying for anything. The absence of a man of revelation got Israel to live in bondage and forced labor. In every generation. If no one with revelation is found, people suffer!
It was only when a man (Moses) with revelation came that Israel was delivered from bondage. If bondage gets into the mind, it blocks you from reaching your destiny. No matter how long the Israelites cried, it didn’t change their situation. God waited for a man who could see a revelation to come then provide freedom. You see, the children of Israel in bondage only saw the chains but they did not see a way out.

Moses being raised in freedom did not have blinkers on his eyes. He was a man of vision! When he visited the Israelites on this particular day, his eyes opened! He realized that there was no need for the Israelites to continue living this way. Something had and could be done. The Bible says Moses beat the Egyptian to death! In every situation, have the ability to see a way out! Moses had a revelation! He became the only man in all Egypt who had the ability to stand up against wrongs that were being done.

Without revelation (the divine or supernatural disclosure to humans of something relating to human existence) there can be no revolution. As long as one does not have a revelation, change will never come. It’s not enough to know that something is wrong until one takes action and does something about it only then will things change. The anointing works with those who are ready to use it and being ready entails waiting for the opportunity to act. May you never fail to see! May you be a man/woman of revelation in your family. May you continually provide solutions while others only see challenges!
