2 Chronicles 20:21-24
21 After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the Lord and to praise him for the splendor of his[c] holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying: “Give thanks to the Lord, for his love endures forever.” 22 As they began to sing and praise, the Lord set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 23 The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another. 24 When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped.
God continues to confuse us when He does things in ways that do not conform to what we know. Who will face a military coming with guns and heavy artillery with a praise and worship team leading the squad? It is unheard of. Nevertheless, the principle is highly recommended to any army commander anywhere in the world today. When God leads, victory is guaranteed.
If as a political leader you spend hours a day in God’s presence before you meet your cabinet, you are guaranteed wisdom, favor and the power of God for your work. The same holds for the father of a home, the leader of a business, the head of a school or university, or the pastor of a church. God always gives victory
The other way a leader can do this is to have a team that is constantly bringing him up in prayer before the throne of grace, for wisdom, favor and power to execute all that comes before him. That way he/she will always win.
Prayer
Thank God for making you a vessel through whom He can show His power to the world.
Ask for a lifestyle that depends on God, always allowing God to take the lead and you follow.
Father, I want to walk closely behind You and place my footsteps in Yours so I will avoid all the wrongs that come out of human depravity.
ENJOY THE RICHES OF CHRIST
2 Corinthians 13:14 (KJV)
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen
This scripture is often used as benediction when Christians are departing from a gathering or fellowship meetings. It is an amazing scripture! It reveals God’s intent for you to enjoy all of His riches. The Bible says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son....” (John 3:16). The Fruit of God’s love is the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. When a man queries, “Where is the love of God in this world?" the response is always the grace of Jesus Christ. God has manifested His love for the world in Jesus, by him also you have become the son of God having received His divine life with all of its attributes.
All that Jesus did, stemming from God’s love was to give you the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit brought into you all the riches of Christ for your enjoyment. He is the Christ in you. Now enjoying the riches of Christ in you comes by maintaining intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The purpose of God’s love, in all His gracious works in Jesus was to bring you into the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. All that's needed to appropriate the riches of Christ which are made available for your enjoyment, is to keep to the place of continous fellowship with the Lord Holy Spirit.
Your awakening to fellowship with Him is what will set you apart in your living and make you able to display fully the riches of Christ. Do you need healing, excellence or love? God has fulfilled all these through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit you have received. Anytime you stay away from communion with the Holy Spirit, you are without the enjoyment of the riches of Christ in you. Be awakened to fellowship and see the full light of the word of God working in you.
DECLARATION
I am the beloved son of God and all the riches of God in Christ are available for my enjoyment. By fellowship with the Holy Spirit, I ascend and make progress in my living. Hallelujah!
My God is the God of all power. I chose to walk in step with Him and benefit from the awesome power that flows out of Him. I choose to follow where He leads and walk after the counsel of His will. For His ways are beyond human comprehension and all that follow Him find rest for their souls. My soul arise and match forward, let the power of Elohim move you through the unchartered waters of life and bring you to a place of rest
