“Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.” Exodus 14:24-25
The God of the Christians is known to be powerful enough to uproot any power, weapon, institution that goes against His people. The Egyptians in our text were experienced in war, had weapons and capable fighters but when they went against the seemingly weak Israel, the God of Christians caused them to be defeated before Israel. Similar stories abound in the scriptures: David Killed Goliath 1 Samuel 17; Hezekiah defeated Sennarcherib and his 185,000 soldiers 2Kings 19; and Jehoshaphat defeated three great nations that came against him 2 Chronicles 20. When Saul was using the weapon of the state to persecute Christians, the God of the Christians arrested him on the road to Damascus Acts 9. I remember several years ago when I used to assist a Pastor in a “small” church in Ibadan, Nigeria. People of strange religions who were landlords in the area wanted to persecute and uproot the church. They employed the weapons of witchcraft, physical attacks and landlords power to go against our “small” church. We reported them to the God of the Christians and they were subdued before us; the church is standing today. The only time the Christians can suffer in the hand of the enemy is if the Christians themselves are against their God or refuse to cry unto Him for help.
Now when we voted for them, we did not consider their religion, but now they want to use the weapon of the state that we gave to them to persecute us and impose strange religion on our lands. Many Christians have already been displaced and churches burnt and destroyed. Beloved, it is time we call upon our God to fight for us. If we keep quiet, Nigeria will go back to Egypt. We don’t need to carry physical weapons but we need to activate our spiritual weapons. All physical evidence are subject to spiritual authority which we carry. 2 Corinthians 10: 3-5.
All I am asking you to do is to raise a prayer altar in your homes and your churches against the power persecuting Christians in Nigeria. Take the following prayer points:
That the God of Christians should pass through Nigeria and uproot all personalities, associations, establishments and authorities that want to impose strange religion on Nigeria.
That every wisdom, understanding, and counsel against Christians in Nigeria should be frustrated. Proverbs 21:30
That our God should arise and His enemies in Nigeria be scattered.
That God should visit Nigeria with a new revival of His power and glory.
That all Christians that are presently suffering as a result of physical attacks should be comforted by His miracle power.
ALL IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME.
You are blessed.
