ANCHOR SCRIPTURE: “And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten” (2Chro 20:22)
- PERSONAL PRAYER: “Father, thank you for the power in Your Word that transforms. May the Morning Tea Devotional today transform my life and destiny, in Jesus name – Amen.”
Are you facing challenges that seemed insurmountable? Are you dealing with a h£alth issue that’s not responding to treatment, struggling in your marriage, or feeling hopel£ss? Whatever your situation is, you need God’s sudden intervention to bring restoration, joy, and breakthrough.
But how can you move God to intervene on your behalf during difficult times? This is my focus today.
Today’s anchor scripture provides a clue: “And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments…and they were smitten.” God desires to come to our aid in times of trouble, but our environment can sometimes hinder His intervention. What kind of environment can we create to welcome God’s sudden Presence for intervention in our lives?
A praiseful environment is the answer. Genuine praise to God has the power to move His Hand for sudden intervention in moments of trials and difficulties. God’s General, Bishop David Oyedepo, says: “There is no obstacle that praise cannot tackle! There is no obstacle that will not bow at the instance of praise.”
Why is this so? Because God is in praise. The Bible says: “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel” (Ps 22:3). Child of God, there is no obstacle or situation in your life right now that will not bow at the Presence of God (Psalms 114). But praise is what provoke His Presence. When praise goes up, God shows up!
Beloved, if your situation is not bigger than God, then praise can handle it. While prayer is good and has its place, praise has its own unique power. Prayer may deliver your solution gradually, but praise always delivers suddenly. Glory!!
So, today and all through this weekend, take some time to praise God for what He’s about to do concerning that situation in your life.
PROPHETIC PRAYER: I see God showing up suddenly in your situation and granting you victory, in Jesus name.
