EXHORTATION
Praise ye the LORD! Alleluiyah!
Glory to our heavenly Father, the Almighty God that answereth by fire; He has continued to fight our battle for us on every side; He is the Giver of life and the Lifter-up of our head against every attempt of the enemy that has been raised against us as individuals and as a nation at large (Psalm 3:1-5). The journey through the first five months has been challenging, no doubt, but by His grace, we have continued to triumph over every manipulation of the enemy. -2Corinth.2:14.
Last month, the Spirit of God directed us to pray with the insight that He alone is the "God that answereth by fire", the God of Elijah that manifested His glory and attested to His own majesty above all, in the presence of the 450 prophets of Baal in the land of Israel (1Kings 18:20–24, 36-40). The idol (Baal) disappointed his worshippers but our Jehovah God proved His supremacy over all. -Exodus 15:11, Jeremiah 32:17, 27.
This month, the Holy Spirit has emphasized that we continue to pray along the same line, especially with respect to all that is happening in our country presently. It is no longer news that the ministry of satan is being perpetrated everywhere: insecurity, wanton killings and destruction without regard for the rule of law or even human lives. Yet in all these things, as we pray vehemently this month, we are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ our Lord...
The enemy has continued to strive against us but resounding victory is sure for us, in Jesus' Name. 1Corinthians15:57, Romans 8:37.
I am fully persuaded that God's mighty presence is with us. He has proven Himself to be the God that answereth by fire. He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrew 12:29, 13:8). As we join hands together to pray for our dear country, the God that answereth by Fire shall intervene in our situation,I in Jesus' Name.
Remember, with Jesus Christ, Victory is Sure!
Shalom
