Text: Exodus 8:20-23
21Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies upon thee, and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thy houses: and the houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground whereon they are.
22And I will sever in that day the land of Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.
23And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.
Key Verse: “And I will put a division between my people and thy people: to morrow shall this sign be.” Exodus 8:23
Message
Before she left the class to see the principal, Mrs. Daniel, the class teacher, left a Mathematics assignment on the board for all the students. This, she thought, would keep everybody busy and check noise making. While she was still some meters away from the class, she heard a loud noise, as if the class was in a turmoil. As she got close to the class, the students sighted her and the class suddenly became quiet. She decided that everyone in the class must be punished. To her relief, the class prefect presented to her the list of the noise makers. She was happy she could now make a division between the noise makers and the orderly ones.

God always puts a division between those who fear Him and those who do not fear Him. He cannot punish the righteous and the unrighteous people together. It was so in the land of Egypt. God placed a divine division between the children of Israel and the Egyptians. While the Egyptians were battling with the plague of flies, the children of Israel had perfect comfort and peace.
Very soon, God is going to put a permanent division between the righteous and the unrighteous. This He will do through the rapture.
The saints will be taken up to heaven while sinners will be left to suffer in the Great Tribulation. You must strive to be among the righteous and be ready for the rapture.
Further Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
Prayer for today: Lord, when that final division will come, count me worthy to go with You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
