BIBLE IN A YEAR: Psa 133-137
HANDLING RESILIENT PROBLEMS
MEMORIZE: "The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein" (Nahum 1:5)
READ: Nahum 1:1-9
The wall of Jericho remained a formidable obstacle preventing invading forces from capturing the city for many years. Historically, it was not just a fence but a massive structure capable of accommodating two cars at a time. It also had compartments and chalets within it. The wall of Jericho symbolized the strength of the people of Jericho. They concentrated on building such a high and formidable fence in their bid to forestall all attacks of the enemy. But when the children of Israel showed up, they discovered that it would be impossible to pull down or penetrate this wall using physical means. So they called their God into action. When the Lord collided with that strong wall, not one block maintained its position: it fell like a pack of cards! That long-standing problem in your life will collide with God today and fall like a pack of cards. That mountain before you is coming down.
In Judges 14:5-6, Samson was heading for Timnath when a lion came to tear him into pieces. But because God had a soft spot for Samson, He deliberately collided with the lion. The aftermath was that the lion was torn to shreds. When God collides with your enemy, the plan of the enemy will be executed on him. Everything working at truncating your destiny shall be torn in pieces this season in Jesus’ Name. Sometimes, the enemy could be persistent and resilient. After being defeated in one area, it will rear up its ugly head in another area. That was Samson’s experience. After the defeat of the lion, his relatives handed him bound to his enemies (Judges 15:14-15). Again God organized a collision with ropes used in binding him and they were burnt to ashes by the Consuming Fire. Whatever has been used to tie you down, shall be roasted today. In 1 Samuel 17:45-51, David who has been anointed by God and destined to rule as king was brought face to face with Goliath. The opponent thought his strength, height, experience and weapons will not only intimidate David, but also the God of David. He recorded his greatest hit. That collision with God was like hitting a mountainous rock at great speed. He lost his head and never recovered from it. The destiny of David whom he was sent to stop could not be stopped at the end of the day. All those assigned to stop you from getting to the top - to your high places and destiny will collide with the Eternal Rock of Ages, and will not recover from it. Every re-occurrent problem in your life will meet with God’s re-occurrent resistance from today. Fear not. Just remain in holiness and praise and worship Him
ACTIONPOINT: Do you have a stubborn problem(s) you have been wrestling with?Praise and worship God for three hours and thereafter ask Him to collide with that problem.
