God’s Prize Creation
Genesis chapter 1, verse 26 (KJV)
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the
sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and
over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that
creepeth upon the earth.
139 Division of Psalms, verse 14 (KJV)
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made:
marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right
well.
Each one of us should remember that man was the prize Creation of God.
Satan introduced him to evil… and as the result man had the ability choose
good or evil.
Depending on which he chose… He would effectively have made a decision to
worship God or the Satan (devil).
God’s Authority Declared
Genesis chapter 15, verses 18 - 21 (KJV)
In the same day the LORD made a covenant with
Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land,
from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river
Euphrates:
The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the
Girgashites, and the Jebusites.
Abram chose to worship the God of Creation, whose name was Yahweh, and
entered into a covenant or contract agreement to serve Yahweh.
Yahweh’s part in this covenant agreement declared His authority and
ownership as the Creator of all the earth, and thus His superiority to anything
that was called god……..
Culture throughout what we call Palestine, whorsihpped various things that
they declared gods. Many of these “gods” powers were limited to having
influence on specific natural elements and spiritual entities.
Interestingly, the declaration in Genesis 15: 18-21 was made to Abram, the
son of Terah, an idol (graven image/god) maker.
In doing so Yahweh eludes to the fact that: It doesn’t matter what God(s) your
parent(s) worshipped. Yahweh is God, and besides Him there is not God.
God’s Authority Declared
Genesis chapter 18, verses 18 - 19 (KJV)
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and
mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be
blessed in him?
For I know him, that he will command his children and
his household after him, and they shall keep the way
of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the
LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath
spoken of him.
The covenant agreement with Abram included his children and his household.
So though Abraham was long dead before he Passover event occurred, God
had an contractual obligation to Abrahams descendents, and all that shall be
connected to his family, and a obligation to fulfill and defend His own Word or
promise.
Denial and Exposure
Exodus chapter 1, verse 8 - 10 (KJV)
Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which
knew not Joseph.
And he said unto his people, Behold, the people of the
children of Israel are more and mightier than we:
Come on, let us deal wisely with them; lest they
multiply, and it come to pass, that, when there falleth
out any war, they join also unto our enemies, and fight
against us, and so get them up out of the land.
The descendents of Abraham, who were the “Children of Promise”, were
taken into captivity and made slaves in Egypt.
Being slaves, they were denied worship of their God (Yahweh), and exposed
to the worship of various things that were called and worshipped as God by
people of the Middle East.
Amongst the chief of their gods was the Pharoah himself.
He was the designated / or physical representation of “Ra”/”Re”, the sun
God……
God’s Order of Freedom
Exodus chapter 5, verses 1 - 2 (KJV)
And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told
Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my
people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the
wilderness.
And Pharaoh said, Who is the LORD, that I should
obey his voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD,
neither will I let Israel go.
The Passover / deliverance story is of the prototypical event that addresses
the authority and power of God to reclaim those that call on Him.
It illustrates how God delivered Israel from under the hand of an oppressive
Eygptain Pharoah.
God’s Order of Freedom
Exodus chapter 5, verses 3 - 4 (KJV)
And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath
met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days'
journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the
LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with
pestilence, or with the sword.
And the king of Egypt said unto them,
Wherefore do ye, Moses and Aaron, let the
people from their works? get you unto your
burdens.
The not so hidden agenda of the opposer of Yahweh, is to keep his follower
from worshipping their God.
The spirit of the adversary does not respect Yahweh, His power over creation,
nor His sovereign authority as the Creator.
God’s Order of Freedom
let’s read together
Exodus chapter 6, verses 3 - 8 (KJV)
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and
unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by
my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
And I have also established my covenant with
them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of
their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
God’s Order of Freedom
And I have also heard the groaning of the
children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in
bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am
the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the
burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of
their bondage, and I will redeem you with a
stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
