Word from Nairnshire

When God released the Hebrew slaves from bondage in Egypt, at midnight the Lord struck, and the firstborn in Egypt died. Even Pharaoh’s privileged household suffered this plague. Everyone did throughout the entire land, except those who were protected by the blood of the lamb – the lamb which had been sacrificed in accordance with the instructions of Moses as he received them from Almighty God.

It was not Moses job to change, modify, water down, or edit the instructions. That would have meant disaster.

Moses, although leader of the nation, was, in one sense, like a message boy. His task was to deliver the message and not judge the content of the message.

It does not matter who you are, nor who you think you are, nor what you may have joined, nor how good you consider yourself to be.

There is only one thing that saves us from judgement and the consequences of sin, and that is the blood of the lamb, and our Passover Lamb is Jesus Christ, Whose blood was shed and whose life was sacrificed.

Moses and Aaron are summoned to appear before Pharaoh. Pharaoh had said he never wanted to see these two men again. Pharaoh appears to be a man who cannot make up his mind.

Be careful what you do. Be careful what you say. If you are rash and impetuous you may have to retract your words, and that can be embarrassing.

Moses is told, “Up, leave and go”.

The Holy Spirit was moving and moving rapidly and radically. The yeast of God was working.

When the yeast of God is working there is nothing we can do to stop it, but there is also nothing we can do to make that yeast work.
