NOT A HOOF LEFT BEHIND
Do not let the enemy inject you with doubt regarding capitalism. Use your business to serve the Lord, not yourself. This is why Moses would not leave their herds and flocks in Egypt. The bigger the business, the more opportunity you have to serve God.
Exodus 10:24-25 says, “Pharaoh called unto Moses, and said, Go ye, serve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds be stayed: let your little ones also go with you. And Moses said, Thou must give us also sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice unto the Lord our God. Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not a hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve the Lord our God.”
Men, we need to take a leaf out of Moses’ book. Moses was not a wimp!. He was not an easy pushover! These compromises were requested by the most powerful king in all the earth at that time. Added to this, the compromises were not impersonal, but face to face encounters with Pharaoh himself. This must have been very intimidating, to say the least. But Moses stood firm, steadfast and unmovable.
These are days when the state-like Egypt wants to take control of our livelihood, our business and every area of our lives. In the end, if we acquiesce and do not stand up for our liberties and freedoms, the Pharaoh’s of this world will quickly bridge the three day gap of separation that God requires. They will quickly turn us into their slaves.
Men, the Scriptures exhort us not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). Resist the temptation to be unequally yoked together, even with a weak Christian, let alone an unbeliever.
This means marriage as well as business. Keep the three day separation. Be like Moses and refuse to allow Egypt to make you dependent upon them.
I like the phrase in verse 25, “There shall not a hoof be left behind.” If possible, run your own Christian business without any ties to the ungodly.
When we let the state educate our children we will leave them behind. They will turn our sons to be mediocre, tolerant and feminine pushovers. They will turn our daughters into career-driven, dominant feminists.
The Egyptian state of this world wants to destroy marriage, motherhood and fatherhood, family and parenting and replace them with state parenting via nurseries, day care and public schooling.
Be encouraged to act.

COMPROMISE NO. 4. EGYPT REQUIRES YOUR DEPENDENCE
