You are mighty

The story of Joseph and the way he saved Egypt from famine and welcomed his father Jacob and his brothers is fascinating. But a new Pharoah arose who saw that the Israelites were a mighty people so he put them in slavery to stop them leaving (Ex 1:8-11). Like this ancient Pharoah, Satan recognises that all of mankind, being made in the image of God, are mighty. So he enslaved mankind to prevent us leaving his kingdom. Are you breathing? Then as one who is made in the image of God YOU ARE MIGHTY. Has Jesus brought you “out of Egypt”? Then you are no longer a slave. In Christ you have left Egypt behind, you’ve changed location, and you’ve changed rulers. Don’t be one who lives in the Promised Land but acts like you’re still living in Egypt. You really are free. You really are mighty.
