SONGS OF VICTORY

-

Exodus 15:2-3

The Lord is my strength and my song; 

he has given me victory. 

This is my God, and I will praise him— my father’s God, and I will exalt him!

The Lord is a warrior; Yahweh is his name!


We will sing the song of victory because it is the Lord God who gives us victory. Just as we see Him do in scriptures, so also He does for us today, however, sometimes we seem to forget His doings as the Israelites did and focus only on the immediate challenges.


The songs will keep us reminded.


Exodus 15:11-12

“Who is like you among the gods, O Lord— glorious in holiness, 

awesome in splendor, performing great wonders?

You raised your right hand, and the earth swallowed our enemies.


Most times we get carried away by the outside show, but do not know that behind the scenes the hand of God brings the miracle and victory to pass.


Psalms 91:2-4

This I declare about the Lord: 

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers. 

He will shelter you with his wings. 

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.


For the children of Israel they only saw Moses' staff, but did not know the very actions of God or His angels in working out the miracles.


When the staff was pointed over the red sea, God breath on the sea for it to part:


Exodus 15:8

At the blast of your breath, the waters piled up! 

The surging waters stood straight like a wall; in the heart of the sea the deep waters became hard.


The same thing when the enemy tried to pursue them, as Moses raised his staff again:


Exodus 15:9-10

“The enemy boasted, ‘I will chase them and catch up with them. 

I will plunder them and consume them. 

I will flash my sword; my powerful hand will destroy them.’

But you blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. 

They sank like lead in the mighty waters.


As I said in earlier writings, you could get carried away by the vessel(person) the Lord is using to perform His wonders and take your eyes off the miracle worker Himself, don't drift away.


So we must sing to glorify Him who gives us the victory. Furthermore we must sing while we wait for the manifestation of the miracle, this is faith.


The three Hebrew young men in the book of Daniel did not just sit in the fire they walked about, and I am certain they were singing for the Lord was in their midst.


When Hezekiah was to go to war, He moved with singing and the victory came to pass. We could talk of Paul and Silas locked up in prison. Songs of victory declares what the Lord has done and establishes the manifestation for the present situation.


Songs of praise will never cease from our mouths as we continue to meditate on His word and pray.


Victory is ours.


We win.


Glory to God.


He calls us blessed.


Love

DO YOU STILL SEE?

-
Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
