01- 21- 11 MI DAILY DEVOTION (Hebrews 11 25- 26)
MOSES ESTEEM HIGHLY OF CHRIST GREATER RICHES THAN THE TREASURES IN EGYPT
25- “Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26- Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward.”
Here’s a good comparison of what life would be with Moses in Egypt with Christ and the children of Israel and with Pharaoh and his people (the Egyptians):
MOSES IN EGYPT WITH CHRIST AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL:
1- He was called the son of God.
2- He was living by faith.
3- He was not afraid of the king’s commandment, he believed on the commandments of God.
4- He refused to be called: a) son of Pharaoh’s daughter, b) As the master of the Egyptians. c) One of the taskmasters of the Egyptians, but was a servant.
5- He was not afraid of the wrath of the king.
6- He sees the future and who holds the future and Moses was living in Spirit and in the riches of the King of kings.
7- He saw Christ on His throne…
8- He kept the Passover and exercised his faith…
9- He was used by the Lord as an instrument of God’s miracle…
MOSES IN EGYPT WITH PHARAOH AND THE MIXED MULTITUDES:
1- He was called “the son of Pharaoh’s daughter”.
2- He was living by sight and not by faith.
3- He was living under the iron hands of Pharaoh and under Pharaoh’s command.
4- He was the “the son of Pharaoh’s daughter”, the taskmaster of the people and not a servant.
5- He was living in fear.

10- He became a leader of God’s chosen people and Nation.

Compare (Exodus chapters 1- 3 with Hebrews 11:23- 29).
