Plagues 2 – Frogs!

Plagues 2 – Frogs!

      God said to Moses: Go to the palace and tell the king of Egypt that I order him to let my people go, so they can worship me. If he refuses, I will cover his entire country with frogs. Warn the king that the Nile will be full of frogs, and from there they will spread into the royal palace, including the king's bedroom and even his bed. Frogs will enter the homes of his officials and will find their way into ovens and into the bowls of bread dough. Frogs will be crawling on everyone--the king, his officials, and every citizen of Egypt. Moses, now command Aaron to hold his stick over the water. Then frogs will come from all rivers, canals, and ponds in Egypt, and they will cover the land. Aaron obeyed, and suddenly frogs were everywhere in Egypt. But the magicians used their secret powers to do the same thing. But they dint know how to chase the frogs away. The king sent for Moses and Aaron and told them, "If you ask the LORD to take these frogs away from me and my people, I will let your people go and offer sacrifices to him." "All right," Moses answered. "You choose the time when I am to pray for the frogs to stop bothering you, your officials, and your people, and for them to leave your houses and be found only in the river." "Do it tomorrow!" the king replied. "As you wish," Moses agreed. "Then everyone will discover that there is no god like the LORD, and frogs will no longer be found anywhere, except in the Nile." After Moses and Aaron left the palace, Moses begged the LORD to do something about the frogs he had sent as punishment for the king. The LORD listened to Moses, and frogs died everywhere--in houses, yards, and fields. The dead frogs were placed in piles, and the whole country began to stink. But when the king saw that things were now better, he again did just as the LORD had said and stubbornly refused to listen to Moses and Aaron.

Lesson to be Learnt:

We sure wont wish to be in a place like this with frogsJ Now coming to the Lesson…

1.      Some of us are just like the Pharaoh, When we have problems we plead the Lord to get us out of it, but When the Lord  has saved us, we fail to repent and do the same mistakes again.

2.      But our God is a Merciful God. Because of His mercies we are not consumed. God knows our weaknesses, so don’t lose heart when you fail to please God sometimes. Take even your failures in prayer. God will surely strengthen you.

3.      When Moses prayed, God listened to him and the frogs died. The same way when we pray the Lord does listen to us . He will listen to our prayers. So have faith and pray. You will surely receive what you pray for.

Mark 11:24

(Hindi) इसलिथे मैं तुम से कहता हूं, कि जो कुछ तुम प्रार्यना करके मांगोंतो प्रतीति कर लो कि तुम्हें मिल गया, और तुम्हारे लिथे हो जाएगा।

(ISV)  That is why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

 (Tamil OV)  ஆதலால், நீங்கள் ஜெபம்பண்ணும்போது எவைகளைக் கேட்டுக்கொள்வீர்களோ, அவைகளைப் பெற்றுக்கொள்வோம் என்று விசுவாசியுங்கள், அப்பொழுது அவைகள் உங்களுக்கு உண்டாகும் என்று சொல்லுகிறேன்.

(Telugu)  అందుచేత ప్రార్థన చేయునప్పుడు మీరు అడుగుచున్న వాటినెల్లను పొందియున్నామని నమ్ముడి; అప్పడు అవి మీకు కలుగునని మీతో చెప్పుచున్నాను.
