THE VICTORS’ DEVOTIONAL DIGEST;
DATE: 09/12/22.
TOPIC: THE PRAISE WARFARE!
TEXTS: Ps 149:1-9; 2Chro 20:22-25; Acts 16:25-26.
KEY VERSE:
“Let the saints be joyful in glory: Let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a twoedged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, And punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: This honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.”
(Psalm 149:5-9)
“And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another. And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.”
(2 Chronicles 20:22-24).
NOTE:
Praises in all forms of it is part of the great weapons of our spiritual warfare which are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds of satanic kingdoms; casting down imaginations of hellish agents!(2Cor 10:3-5).
Unfortunately, the awesome power that is made available to the saints of God through praises, is yet to be well understood and be properly exploited by the greater percentage of the believers in Christ. They neglect the huge benefits that are derived from inspired praises, which include;
1). Liberation of the soul from the bondage of depression and anxiety.
2). The release of God’s presence and power for the impossible.
3). Stirring of the spiritual gifts in one’s life for active operations; eg, gifts of faith, healings, prophecy, diversity of tongues, etc.
4). Angelic operations/ interventions in favour of the saints of God in answer to prayers; as exemplified in our Bible texts, in the cases of King Jehoshaphat and that of Paul and Silas. Praises paved the way to their overwhelming victories! The Lord took over their battles; the enemies were smitten by themselves; the prison doors were opened: their yokes were broken and they were made free! And the name of the Lord was glorified! He will do it again today as you begin to praise the Lord over your situation and issues of concern! Hallelujah! amen
PRAYER: Praise God hallelujah! Sing praises and magnify the mighty name of Jehovah/Jesus! Over your Life, Family, Church, the Nation, etc.
Great miracles are on your way, in the mighty name of Jesus! Amen.
Daily Bible reading: Rom 9; Job 6-7; Jer 37.
