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

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

IF HE SAID IT, HE WILL DO IT

Joshua 21: 43-45 So the Lord gave to Israel all the land he had sworn to give their ancestors, and they took possession of it and settled there. And the Lord gave them rest on every side, just as he had solemnly promised their ancestors. None of their enemies could stand against them, for the Lord helped them conquer all their enemies. Not a single one of all the good promises the Lord had given to the family of Israel was left unfulfilled; everything he had spoken came true. If the Lord promised it be rest assured that He will bring it to pass. The One He gave the promise to believed it whole heatedly and proved it by His obedience. The same with his son and further on to his grandson. Hebrews 11:8-9 It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faith—for he was like a foreig
