METHODIST DAILY REFLECTION FOR TODAY SUNDAY, 13TH SEPTEMBER 2026 - DANGERS OF UNFORGIVENESS

DATE: SUNDAY, 13TH SEPTEMBER 2026

THEME: PARTING OF THE RED SEA

PASSAGE: EXODUS 14:19-23

19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind them:

20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night.

21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

MESSAGE:

The event of parting of the Red Sea in our passage today is a significant event that proves the mighty Hand of God to deliver His people and the T supremacy of God over all situations.

As the Egyptian Army closed in on the Israelites who were in terrible despair, Moses followed the instructions of the Lord, demonstrated unwavering faith and leadership. He stretched out his staff over the water of the red sea, invoking a miracle. The sea parted ways bordered by towering walls of water on either side. This miraculous path provides the Israelites a means of escape, symbolizing a gate way from slavery to freedom.

Are you thinking of how you will part the Red Sea of your life? God will provide means of escape for you and your enemy will be disappointed and commit suicide!.

Every situation of stagnancy, slavery, abandonment, will part ways from you. God will fight for you and you will sing praises unto the Lord. This is the word of God to you today. Moses told the people to "fear not, stand firm and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see them again" (verse 13).

MEMORY VERSE:

"I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut asunder the bars of iron:.... Isaiah 45:2-3

HYMN: MHB 503 (C.M) GOD moves in a mysterious way.

1. GOD moves In a mysterious way

His wonders to perform;

He plants His footsteps in the sea,

And rides upon the storm.

2. Deep In unfathomable mines

Of never-failing skill

He treasures up His bright designs,

And works His sovereign will.

3. Ye fearful saints,fresh courage take,

The clouds ye so much dread

Are big with mercy, and shall break

In blessings on your head.

4. Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,

But trust Him for His grace;

Behind a frowning providence

He hides a smiling face.

5. His purposes will ripen fast,

Unfolding every hour;

The bud may have a bitter taste,

But sweet will be the flower.

6. Blind unbelief Is sure to err,

And scan His work In vain;

God Is His own Interpreter,

And He will make It plain.

PRAYER

Lord, I command every spirit of slavery and stagnancy to lose its hold over my life and family in Jesus' Name. Amen.
