TOPIC: The Gift of a New Dawn
MEMCRISE
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. PSALM 30:5
BIBLE READING: EXODUS 12:30-36
30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

At a time, Israel enjoyed the best in Egypt(Genesis 47:1-11). However, when a new king who didn’t know Joseph began to rule, daytime became night for the children of Israel, and their joy turned into sorrow.
The Egyptians made life unbearable for them and things became so bad that the, sons of the Israelites had death waiting for them even before they were born (Exodus1:8-22). It was a very dark time for the children of Israel. However, when the Lord decided to turn their night into morning in Exodus 12:42, He judged their enemies and gave them a new dawn.
When God wants to bring a new dawn into a person’s life, He will often rise against the enemies he or she might have and del with them. On that particular night in Exodus 12:42, there was a great cry in Egypt because at least one person died in every Egyptian household. It was so terrible that Pharaoh had to let the Israelites go that same night. He told them to leave Egypt at once with all their flocks and also asked them to bless him. What had been impossible for 430 years became possible in one night (Exodus 12:40-41)because God gave His people a new dawn and judged their enemies. In the name above all names, anything and anyone who wants to keep you in perpetual bondage will experience the judgment of God.
The Israelites’ new dawn came with anew economic and financial upgrade. The children of Israel took so much silver and gold from the Egyptians that today’s Bible reading as that they spoiled the Egyptians. When you tell someone that you are travelling with your entire household and that fellow still lends you his or her jewellery, knowing that you may never return, that is an unusual kind of favour. When God gives you a new dawn, you will begin to operate in divine favour. The Israelites found favour in the sight of the people who had hated them. I decree that those who refused to help you before will begin to run around to help you from now on, in Jesus’ name.
Beloved, Jesus can give you a new dawn today. He can turn your story around and give you beauty for your ashes (lsaiah61:3). I encourage you to pray today’s prayer point with fervency and faith. Cry out to God until He gives you a new dawn, just like He did for the Israelites.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please give me a new dawn of favour, in Jesus’ name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GENESIS 5-8
HYMN: Stand up, stand up for Jesus
1 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
ye soldiers of the cross;
lift high His royal banner,
it must not suffer loss.
From vict’ry unto vict’ry
His army shall He lead,
till ev’ry foe is vanquished,
and Christ is Lord indeed.
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the trumpet call obey;
forth to the mighty conflict,
in this His glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve him
against unnumbered foes;
let courage rise with danger,
and strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
stand in His strength alone;
the arm of flesh will fail you,
ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the gospel armor,
each piece put on with prayer;
where duty calls or danger,
be never wanting there.
4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
the strife will not be long;
this day the noise of battle,
the next the victor’s song.
To him who over-cometh
a crown of life shall be;
they with the King of Glory
shall reign eternally.
