TEXT: EXODUS 14:1-31; 15:3-10; 1 CHRONICLES 14:8-17.
MEMORY VERSE:
"The Lord is a man of war: The Lord is His name."
EXODUS 15:3 - New International Version.
MESSAGE:
No one on earth, in the world below and above can stand to challenge God Almighty. It is a terrible thing to fall into the anger of God.
God said, "I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh; they will be drunk on their own blood, as with wine." (Isaiah 49:26a, NIV). When Pharoah and the people of Egypt tried to fight against the children of Israel, who were God's own people, they faced the great punishment. At the end, Pharaoh and his soldiers died in the red sea.
In the book of Exodus 14:14, God said, "I will fight for you." When you are standing with God, He will fight for you. In whatever situation you find yourself, call on the God of battle and He will rise to fight that battle for you. There was a crusade I held long ago in a certain town, where some gunmen came and shot at me at a very close range while I was preaching on top of the platform, but nothing happened because the God of battle stood and fought for me.
Now my question is this. Are you in a good relationship with the God of battle? Haven't you been disobeying His instructions? Have you surrendered your life completely to Him? If your response to these questions is no, then I advise that you settle with God and the God of battle we fight and defeat your enemies.
TAKE SONG 4: PUT THOU THY TRUST IN GOD
1) Put thou thy trust in God,
In duty's path go on; Walk in His strength with faith and hope,
So shall thy work be done.
2) Commit they ways to Him,
Thy works into His hands, And rest on his unchanging word, Who heaven and earth commands.
3) Though years on years roll on,
His covenant shall endure; Though clouds and darkness hide his path, The promised grace is sure.
4) Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope, and be undismayed:
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears;
God shall lift up thy head.
5) Through waves and clouds and storms, His power will clear thy way:
Wait thou his time; the darkest night
Shall end in brightest day.
6) Leave to his sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own His way,
How wise, how strong his hand.
DEVOTIONAL PRAYER TARGETS FOR TODAY:
1) Oh Lord, blot out my transgressions.
2) The god of battle come into my life and fight all my battles.

4) Father, surround my home with your fence of fire in Jesus name.
5) I nullify every evil dream against me and my loved ones in Jesus name.
