The Same God Will Do It Again

As in the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things. Church, there is one truth the enemy cannot erase, one testimony hell cannot silence, it is this:

The God who brought you out before, will bring you out again.

The same God who carried you through the last storm is about to walk you out of this one, but this time with even greater glory on the other side.

The God who broke your chains before, is getting ready to tear down every wall standing in front of you now.

The God who lifted you when you had nothing left, is about to raise you up you again. What He did then was just a screening, but this time, He’s bringing you out with overflow.

Somebody say: The same God Will do it again.

The book of Micah is a prophetic text from the 8th century B.C., during the days of kings

Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah of Judah.

Micah prophesied to a nation that was drowning in corruption, political corruption, social injustice, and moral decay. It is said that the elite were oppressing the poor, the prophets were preaching for profit, and the people had drifted from God.

And because of their rebellion, God announced the coming judgment, specifically at the hands of the Assyrian and later by the Babylonian empires. But woven into these warnings, God kept dropping these glimmers of grace, and promises, that judgment would not be the end of the story.

Even while God was calling them out and warning them, He kept sliding in these flashes of hope, these little reminders that the consequences wouldn’t be the final chapter, and that He still had a comeback story waiting for them.

Micah 7 is the prophet's final chapter, and by the end he breaks into a prayer, a declaration, and a worship-filled prophecy.

In Micah 7, the prophet Micah is pouring out his heart about the spiritual and moral collapse of the nation. It reads like a man looking around at his society and saying, what has happened to us?

Verses 1–14 paint the scene that leads to God’s promise in verse 15 (I will show them marvelous things).

In versus 1–6: The world is falling apart (and everybody knows it)

Micah 7:1 Woe is me.

Micah opens with deep grief. He says he feels like a person going out to harvest grapes only to find the vines empty.

In other words, I’m living in a world where goodness and godliness are hard to find. The spiritual fruits are missing. Godly people are rare. Integrity is scarce. Righteousness is not normal anymore.

Micah gets to verse 2 and teaches us that the faithful man has vanished. He says that there aren’t many faithful

people left. Loyalty is gone. People can’t be trusted. He’s saying straight up, the real ones are rare out here. Loyalty has disappeared. These people just ain’t solid anymore.

And today we live in a time where fake loyalty, inconsistency, and broken trust are everywhere. We are in a time when relationships, leadership, friendships, even church circles and all mess up, jacked up and tore up.

Micah says in versus 3 that Corruption is normal. Leaders, judges, politicians, and influencers are all taking bribes. People are scheming with both hands, meaning:

They work hard at doing wrong. They do their best to try and tear you down. They really put in overtime just to be messy.

Most of their energy goes into trying to tear somebody else down.

They grind harder at being toxic than anything else. It’s like their whole mission is to pull you down with them.

And today it seems like nothing has changed, corruption isn’t the exception anymore, it’s the headline. People work overtime trying to get ahead, even if it costs them their integrity.

Micah says in versus 4 the best of them is like a brier. In other words, even the good ones aren’t good anymore.

Micah had something to say here because in versus 5 and 6 he said don’t trust even close relationships:

He’s saying be careful with the people on the job.

Don’t trust a neighbor.

Don’t rely on a friend.

Be careful with your own family.

Even households are divided.

He is describing a society where relationships has collapse from the inside out.

He’s saying: people don’t know how to treat people anymore.

They don’t know how to talk to one another anymore, they lie, cheat, and steal, in my hood they would just call them low-down.

In versus 7 though10 he describes that hope is not in people, but our hope is in God.

Micah 7:7 says, But as for me.

Here it is Micah takes a spiritual turn: Everybody else may be acting wild, but as for me, I’m looking to God.
