"Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh treasure cities, Pithom and Raamses"(Exodus 1:11)
"taskmasters to afflict" The sole purpose of the taskmasters was to afflict the people of God! The devil's sole purpose is to afflict you if you are in God's Kingdom. The reason they started to afflict the Israelites is because they begin to be so blessed that the Egyptians were afraid of their greatness. Do you know why Joseph's brothers disliked him? They weren't afraid that his dreams wouldn't come true but they were afraid that his dreams would come true. The people that watch you every day aren't afraid you'll fail, they are afraid you'll succeed. Your failure makes them feel good about themselves because human nature is dependable to repeat history over and over again.
What the taskmasters of the system did to the successful then, they will do to you today. The enemy wants you to fail, he doesn't want you to be successful, increase and multiply. "And the children of Israel were fruitful, and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceeding mighty; and the land was filled with them."(Exodus 1:7) Do not let the taskmasters of this world afflict you, mess with your head and deposit fear into your heart. Fear will rob you of your destiny, your future and all the blessings that God has for you. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."(John 10:10)
Jesus came to save and bless you, don't let the world, the neighbors or the desires of the flesh steal your blessing!! " For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil."(1 John 3:8b)
God has plans for His people, He has a plan and purpose for your life, don't let the devil talk you into something that will talk you out of your future!!
