Exo1:~From Favor to Fear: God’s People in Egypt / Exode 1 : De la faveur à la peur – Le peuple de Dieu en Égypte

 Exodus 1: From Favor to Fear: God’s People in Egypt

"Even in affliction, God’s promises are still alive."

Aim:
To understand how God remains faithful even when His people face oppression, and to learn how affliction can be a setup for God’s greater deliverance.

God’s Attributes:

  • Faithfulness – He remembers His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

  • Sovereignty – He allows His people to multiply even under harsh conditions.

  • Providence – He positions the right people (like the Hebrew midwives) at the right time.

Facts :

  • After Joseph’s death, a new Pharaoh arises who does not know him.

  • The Israelites multiply greatly in Egypt, alarming the Egyptians.

  • Pharaoh enslaves the Israelites and orders Hebrew baby boys to be killed.

  • The Hebrew midwives, fearing God, disobey Pharaoh’s command and protect the babies.

The Three Ps:

  • Promises: God's covenant to multiply Israel is unfolding, even in slavery.

  • Principles: Obedience to God surpasses fear of man (as shown by the midwives).

  • Prophecies: The rise of Israel as a nation and their eventual deliverance is being set up.

Insights:

  • Affliction doesn’t cancel God’s promise—it often precedes His breakthrough.

  • Fear of God leads to courage and righteousness (as shown by Shiphrah and Puah).

  • God uses faithful individuals in small roles to change the course of history.

Application:

  • In times of pressure, remember that God is working behind the scenes.

  • Stand up for righteousness even when it’s risky.

  • Celebrate the small acts of obedience—they have kingdom impact.

Deed:

This week, identify one area where you’re tempted to compromise due to fear. Choose faith over fear—like the Hebrew midwives—and act with courage and integrity.

Prayer:

Lord, even when I feel forgotten or oppressed, help me trust Your promises. Give me courage like the Hebrew midwives to fear You more than man. May I stand firm and faithful in small and big things alike. Amen.

Worship Song:

Do It Again – Elevation Worship
Theme: God's faithfulness through every season, even when we don’t see the full picture.
