Wednesday September 4th,2024.

Topic: Leveraging On The Srenght Of God.

Memory Verse : Exodus 34:14..“Do not worship any other god, because I, the Lord, tolerate no rivals.

Bible Reading : 1 Chronicles 14:11-13 GNB. Key Verse : v13.

So David attacked them at Baal Perazim and defeated them. He said, “God has used me to break through the enemy army like a flood.” So that place is called Baal Perazim. When the Philistines fled, they left their idols behind, and David gave orders for them to be burnt. Soon the Philistines returned to the valley and started plundering it again.

If you look at old testatment closely and follow the history of wars between the people of Israel, the Philistines and other heathen nations. If you watch closely, you will discover that the secret of the Israelites was the true and living God in their camp, who made sure their enemies were subdued before them. When God was revealing himself to the people of Israel, he made them know that he is the true and living God who cannot be seen with ordinary eyes. He revealed himself not only as a Spirit, but father of all spirits. Jesus told the woman by the well in John chapter 4 that God is capital SPIRIT, so men who must do business with him must explore the channels of the Spirit of truth. Watching closely again, you will observe that all the nations God consumed before the Israelites and gave them their territorues were idol worshippers which made them labour under divine judgement.

Men of old understood that life is spiritual. That’s the reason they never went to war without carrying their gods alongside for spiritual strength. Now the enemies of David never wanted him to ascend the throne. Once that happened, they picked offense and came to fight him by the strength of their gods. David on his path never went into any battle without consulting the living God for direction. After David defeated the Philistines, he made sure the idols they took to confront the wrong person was burnt because they couldn’t stand the presence of the God of Israel. They quickly regrouped after the first defeat. David went back to God for fresh directives. Once more David consulted God, who answered…. , “Don’t attack them from here, but go round and get ready to attack them from the other side, near the balsam trees. When you hear the sound of marching in the treetops, then attack, because I will be marching ahead of you to defeat the Philistine army.””. 1 Chronicles 14:14.-15.

As we are trusting God to end the year on a strong note, we need to stay away from anything that incures the wrath of God. As children of God we must know there are enemies, who will never want God’s plan for our lives to materialise. They pretend to be friends, but work against God’s purpose for our lives. Again, we should take full advantage of the Holy Spirit in everything we do. God is interested in every details of our lives and therefore is always willing to guide us when we give him the opportunity to do so, just like king David. Though he was a man of war, he always depended on God for directives and not just on his experience or expertise. “He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.” 1 Samuel 2:9-10 KJV.
