Red Sea II

*29/03/2026* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *ANOINTING HEALING AND COMMUNION SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  True Miracles  Red Sea II Exodus 14:1-31 Pharaoh’s change in attitude is caused by God hardening his heart (Exodus 14:4) but also by his second thoughts after the shock of the death of the firstborn had passed (Exodus 14:5-6). He realizes that he has lost a large part of the labour force for his construction projects. Moreover, in yielding to the God of Israel, he has diminished his own authority. In bowing before Moses and asking for his blessing (Exodus 13:32), he has allowed himself to act as if he were a subject of the man who represented his slaves! No wonder his wounded pride expresses itself in a desire for revenge. *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *...

Red Sea

*25/03/2026* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  True Miracles  Red Sea Exodus 14:1-31 God’s final victory over the Egyptians and their stubborn Pharaoh at the Red Sea can be said to be like an eleventh plaque. Many of the same themes that were heard over and over again in the earlier account of the plagues resurface here: the hardening of Pharaoh’s heart (Exodus 14:4a,17), the use of Moses’ staff (Exodus 14:16,21,26-27), the contrast between the suffering of the Egyptians and the deliverance of the Israelites (Exodus 14:20;28-29) and God’s insistence that he is taking action *so that the Egyptians will know I am the Lord* (Exodus 14:4b,18). *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*

Burning bush VIII

*22/03/2026* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *FOURTH SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  True Miracles  Burning bush VIII Exodus 3:1-10 Then God gives Moses his orders, beginning with a strong imperative: GO (Exodus 3:10). The command is precise and there is no way round it. Moses is to confront Pharaoh and *bring my people out of Egypt*. He is to be the instrument that God will use to fulfill his promise to deliver the people from slavery. God’s call to Moses reveals what sets the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob apart from the local gods. He is personal (‘your’ God), faithful (he keeps his promise to the Israelites’ ancestors), compassionate (he identifies with the sufferings of his people), and sovereign (he summons people and gives orders). *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya...

Exodus 3:8b Leviticus 20:24 Numbers 13:27 Deuteronomy 6:3; 27:3 Joshua 5:6 Jeremiah 11:5 Ezekiel 20:6 This image leaves no doubt that there will be an abundant supply of food in the region. *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*

Burning bush VI

*15/03/2026* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *THIRD SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  True Miracles Burning bush VI Exodus 3:1-10 The second reason for calling Moses is that God has decided that it is time to act, and announces that I have come down to deliver them and bring them into another land. Exodus 3:8a For God to ‘come down’ indicates a very special movement, an exceptional intervention of the Most High in human history. Moses is the instrument, indeed the incarnation, of this divine intervention. *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™️* WhatsApp/Telegram: *+2348052366039* Email: *johnifesanya@gmail.com* *www.johnifesanya.blogspot.com* *#ECN Ibadan #* Powered by *JDIS*

Burning bush V

*11/03/2026* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  True Miracles  Burning bush V Exodus 3:1-10 God then goes on to explain why he has called Moses. He gave two fundamental reasons, both expressed in anthropomorphic language, that is, language that is associated with our human experience. The first reason is that God has seen, heard and reacted with concern to the sufferings of his people at the hands of their Egyptian oppressors.

Burning bush IV

*08/03/2026* *40 DAYS FASTING AND PRAYERS* *SECOND SUNDAY SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God will sometimes overrule the natural order by the miraculous  True Miracles  Burning bush IV Exodus 3:1-10 Because God is present, the ground where Moses is standing is declared to be holy. He is told not to come any closer and take off his sandals as a sign of humility and worship. Exodus 3:5 Joshua 5:15 God then introduces himself as the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, and thus the father of Israel. Exodus 3:6 Exodus 3:15-16 Moses needs to know, exactly which god is speaking. He had been raised in a polytheistic court and would inevitably have been familiar with the many Egyptian gods, so there is nothing redundant or unnecessary about this repetition. Moreover, this identification is the basis on which Moses will be instructed to make his appeal to the people in Exodus 3:15-16. *©️2026* *Ecumenican Church Nigeria ™...
