SONG OF VICTORY

-

Judges 5:1-3,31

On that day Deborah and Barak son of Abinoam sang this song:

“Israel’s leaders took charge, and the people gladly followed. 

Praise the Lord!

“Listen, you kings! Pay attention, you mighty rulers! 

For I will sing to the Lord. I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.

“Lord, may all your enemies die like Sisera! 

But may those who love you rise like the sun in all its power!” Then there was peace in the land for forty years.


The song of victory should be in the mouth of all who expect a victory, for soon they would have course to sing it.


Deborah was judge in Israel at the time when they were under oppression. Remember that this oppression was allowed because of their disobedience:


Judges 4:1-4

After Ehud’s death, the Israelites again did evil in the lord’s sight.

So the Lord turned them over to King Jabin of Hazor, a Canaanite king. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth-haggoyim.

Sisera, who had 900 iron chariots, ruthlessly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years. Then the people of Israel cried out to the lord for help.

Deborah, the wife of Lappidoth, was a prophet who was judging Israel at that time.


In the midst of the sinful nation, she stood out as a prophet and judge. She had a good testimony.


The environment should Not determine our position or service to God, instead our position and service to God, should influence our environment and change the narrative.


The power of the strong man must be brought down if we find some that will give themselves wholly to the Lord.


We want to hear the songs of victory in our land, we want the chaos to be over, the confusion and perversion to come to an end, we must have those who will arise, filled with God's Spirit and wisdom and are blameless that the enemy cannot find a fault. They are the ones who will lead us to sing the song of victory.


Truly all will Not be perfect till Christ is revealed as the King when He comes to reign, taking over the whole earth, however, we can yet have "a peace" as the Lord intervenes in present situations.


Can we arise to our call. Starting from that position we occupy in our homes then our community (s)


Remember the victory song is after the war, for the war brings victory.


We are victorious in Christ Jesus.


PRAYER

Dear Lord lead me to victory as I am led by You to triumph over all the enemies. The song of victory I will sing because I come forth victorious. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


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
