Kingdom Foreshadowed Part 4 Devotionals
Explore the epic narrative of the Israelites’ journey from bondage in Egypt to the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea in Kingdom Foreshadowed Part 4.
Day 1: The Call to Worship
Devotional The story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt begins with a divine command: ‘Let my people go so they may worship me.’ This call to worship is not just about physical freedom but about spiritual liberation. True freedom is always found in choosing God’s way and pursuing Him. When we worship and serve the Lord, we break free from the chains of other ‘masters’ that seek to enslave us. Reflect on what you are living for today. Is it God, or is it something else?
Bible Verse ‘But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.’ – Exodus 14:29

Prayer Lord, help me to identify and break free from anything that keeps me from worshiping and serving You. Lead me to true freedom in Your presence. Amen.
Day 2: Overcoming Fear
Devotional As the Israelites stood at the edge of the Red Sea with Pharaoh’s army closing in, fear must have gripped their hearts. Yet, Moses reassured them, ‘The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.’ Spending time with God and in His presence will overcome fear. When we trust in God’s power and His plan, we can face any challenge with confidence. Remember, God is with you and for you.
Bible Verse ‘Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.”’ – Exodus 14:13

Day 3: The Path to Salvation
Devotional The parting of the Red Sea is a powerful symbol of God’s salvation. Just as God provided a way for the Israelites to escape certain death, He has provided a way for us through Jesus Christ. Jesus takes our sin and mess, our fear and judgment, and exchanges His life for ours. This act of love and sacrifice opens the path to eternal life. Reflect on the magnitude of this gift and how it transforms your life.

Day 4: Embracing New Life
Devotional Jesus’ resurrection is the ultimate victory over sin and death. Just as the Israelites were delivered from slavery and given a new life, we too are given a new life in Christ. Our status has changed from death to life, from guilty to forgiven, from lost to found. Embrace this new identity and live in the freedom that comes from knowing Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Bible Verse ‘Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.’ – John 5:24

Devotional True freedom comes from knowing Jesus as your Lord and Savior. When we say yes to Jesus, we are set free from the power of sin and death. This freedom allows us to live a life of purpose, worshiping and serving God. Remember, God is with you and for you, and He loves you despite your mess. Trust in Him, be still, and embrace the freedom He offers.
Bible Verse ‘Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.’ – Romans 8:1-2
