34 “But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and the more they spread out.”

 Exodus 1:12

 The more the Egyptians oppressed the Israelites, the more they grew in number and vigour.

 Here was see the strength of the Christian as they live for God and work hard for Him. The more the people of God are oppressed the greater they thrive. We see this down through the years in persecution of the church that seeds the growth of the church of Christ.

 The devil can never win and the more he tries to discourage us the more we run to Christ our refuge and hope.

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

 Psalm 46:1

 The way of God cannot be thwarted, and God will build His church regardless of what is going on around in the culture of the day.

“I also tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my assembly, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.”

 Matthew 16:18

 Let us gain great encouragement for our Christian service that God will honour us and show His glory through us. God cannot be stopped and He will keep all His promises.
