Topic: GOD IS OUR GUARD AGAINST ATTACKS OF THE ENEMIES

MEMORIZE: “The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, My hand shall destroy them.'” Exodus 15:9

SCRIPTURE READING: Jeremiah 15:20-21

“Therefore thus says the LORD: "If you return, Then I will bring you back; You shall stand before Me; If you take out the precious from the vile, You shall be as My mouth. Let them return to you, But you must not return to them. And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; And they will fight against you, But they shall not prevail against you; For I am with you to save you And deliver you," says the LORD. "I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, And I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible."” 

EXPOSITION:

The mission of the enemy is to see their evil desire fulfilled upon their victims. After the children of Israel crossed the red sea on dry ground, Moses sang the song of victory describing what Pharaoh and the Egyptians planned to do, had it been they lived to fulfill it. “The enemy said, 'I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; My desire shall be satisfied on them. I will draw my sword, My hand shall destroy them.'” Exodus 15:9

A formidable invasion of Jehoshaphat's kingdom by the Moabites, and Ammonites, and their auxiliaries - 2 Chronicles 20. Jehoshaphat was surprised and frightened when he heard that they had already entered his country. What pretence they had to quarrel with Jehoshaphat does not appear. Several nations joined in this confederacy, but especially the children of Lot, “For they have consulted together with one consent; They form a confederacy against You: The tents of Edom and the Ishmaelites; Moab and the Hagrites; Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek; Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre; Assyria also has joined with them; They have helped the children of Lot. Selah” Psalm 83:5-8.

When he lost confidence in himself, he sought the Lord of hosts for intervention, and God, the help of the helpless rose up to help him by giving him victory without a fight. God brought confusion into the camp of the enemies and they killed one another until no one escape. When you make God your ally (friend), He becomes your defence. He becomes enemy to your enemy and fights your battle for you. The Psalmist says, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust." Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler And from the perilous pestilence… 14 "Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation."” Psalm 91:1-3, 14-16.

PRAYER POINT: Lord, any force ordered to attack my spiritually, physically or otherwise, attack them for my sake and render their mission unfulfilled in Jesus name.

ii. Lord, laugh at the preparation of my enemy against me and abort their plans against my life in Jesus name
