Nigerian Christian Movies 2014 titled MOSES jjj

A powerful Christian movie

In Ancient Egypt, during the time of the Pharaohs, the Hebrews
were slaves. The Pharaoh may be all-powerful, but internally he was afraid that
one day the Hebrews would take over. This is why the Pharaoh ordered that baby
boys must be eliminated upon birth to prevent the Hebrew forces from
multiplying. The mother of the baby who was named Moses wanted to save him so
she formulated a plan. To save his life, she placed him inside a basket and let
it float along the Nile River.

Moses had an older sister named Miriam. This girl watched over
Moses as his basket floated down the river until the daughter of Pharaoh who
came to the river for a wash found him. The princess wanted to keep the baby
and when Miriam came up to her she said that there’s a Hebrew woman who can
nurse him. Miriam was referring to their mother. The arrangements were made and
the daughter of the Pharaoh of Egypt raised Moses in the palace as her own son.

Although Moses grew up in the Pharaoh’s palace, he was always
a Hebrew in his heart. One day, in a fit of rage he killed an Egyptian soldier
who beat and killed a Hebrew slave. Because of this he had to flee. While in
exile in another land, Moses heard God speak to him from a burning bush. God
told Moses that his mission is to save the Hebrews and lead them out of Egypt.

Moses went back and approached the Pharaoh to ask him for the
Hebrew’s freedom. The Pharaoh was no keen on letting his slaves go because no
one would work on the buildings, tombs and palaces. After his refusal, Egypt
was assailed by one tragedy after another—ten plagues in all. Before each
plague happened, Moses warned Pharaoh and asked him to set the slaves free.
Each time Pharaoh refused his land was ravaged by a plague.

The last plague came and it was the worst of all. Every
firstborn son in Egypt died, including the son of the Pharaoh. All Hebrew
household were spared by the Angel of Death because Moses asked the families to
place a mark on their door. Finally, because of his great loss, Pharaoh finally
allowed the Hebrew slaves to go.

So the Hebrews took what they could and started the long walk
out of Egypt. The bread they took with them was half baked as they were in a
hurry. Soon enough, Pharaoh regretted his decision and sent a big army to bring
back his slaves.

The Egyptian Army caught up with the Hebrews at the shores of
the Red Sea. Instead of being trapped, God, through Moses performed a miracle.
When Moses lifted up his rod the waters of the Red Sea parted, allowing the
Hebrews to walk to the other bank on dry land. Once all the Hebrews had
crossed, Moses commanded the waters to return to their original state.
Pharaoh’s army was following the Hebrews into the sea and when the sea closed
in on them they perished. The Hebrews were free at last.

However, there were still hardships before them. They were in
the desert and the land of Canaan promised to them by God seemed very far away.
When the food ran out, they went hungry and they turned to Moses and blamed him
for putting them in such a predicament.

It was then that God told Moses that He will provide people
with food. The very next day, there was manna in the desert and it tasted just like
honey. The whole ground was covered with manna. God even sent a flock of quail
that the Hebrews cooked & ate. When they needed water to drink, Moses
struck a rock as God told him, and water rushed out from the desert floor.

Finally, after three months, the Hebrews arrived at Mt. Sinai
where God directed Moses to go up the mountain. There was lightning and thunder
in the mountain top. While Moses communed with God in the mountain He gave him
the Ten Commandments that people must follow. These laws were etched in a
couple of stone tablets.
