2 Chronicles 7:13-14
We have been talking about the five weapons God gave us which are the promises of God, praise, worship, obedience and offering. We need to also understand that whatever that is happening today, it’s not new to God as stated in the book of 2 Chronicles 7:13. The drought, the locusts and this pestilence [of coronavirus] have all happened in our time however, verse 14 reveals to us the truth that, If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
Beloved, the last time God came on earth was when darkness had filled it according to Genesis 1:2, and whenever He wants to come down on earth, He wants to confront the devil. When man sinned against God, Jesus came down and He defeated the devil, and today, as a nation we need God to come down and fight for us. The bible says, the promises of God are Yes and Amen [2 Corinthians 1:20], and the psalmist reminds us to stand on God’s promises. Get ready, for God Almighty is about to do something great in your lives and my life too, and I speak as a servant of God that this coronavirus will not destroy our economy. Psalms 23:4 tells us that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil;For God is with us. I therefore send a hedge of protection over your home, husband, wife, children, our health workers and soldiers. Declare: I am standing on the promises of God that cannot fail. As we stand on the promises of God, we shall not only be secure, but we shall also prosper. The hand of God is not shortened that it cannot save us from this pandemic of coronavirus. Even that Ugandan who contracted the virus, we ask God to heal him and we curse coronavirus to die at the root. Our God is capable of saving His people’s lives.
The second weapon is Praise. We are a nation that needs to praise God; when we praise Him, power comes down. When we look at where God has brought us from, we must praise Him. In 1986, our GDP was five billions UGX but 30years later, our GDP is in trillions. We used to have HIV, wars in 1980’s but now we are at peace. Most of us never had cars, houses but now we have them; others you were young and now you have grown old, praise the Lord. King David said, I have been young, and [now] am old [Psalms 37:25]. We ought to praise God for the rain, peace and the joy He has given us. The devil can easily walk with his songs of death in you and cause you to mourn, that everyone will think that we are dead, but we ought to praise the Lord for He is worthy to be praised! He has been good to us. He has done marvelous things for us both in the good times and the bad times. He has been there for us [Psalms 139:14].
You see from praise, you go to Worship which is weapon three, and the glory of God is revealed. Between praise and worship, this is where prayer is found. I declare: God will protect and guide you. Praise allows you to open up to God, and worship helps you to receive from Him. You have to praise God intensely and worship Him passionately, and once you do that, prayer comes in and you begin to prophesy.
Weapon four is Obedience. We only obey authority and not the devil because the devil already lost. Jesus said, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me [Matthew 28:18]. We have three authorities; the authority in the word of God. The bible tells us to believe in the LORD our God, so shall we be established and to believe His prophets, so shall we prosper [2 Chronicles 20:20]. The authority of government because God has given Pharaoh and Caesar authority, and remember, every authority comes from God. The authority of the believer; the bible says, these signs shall follow those that believe [Mark 16:17]. For you to be happy in Jesus, you must TRUST and OBEY Him.
Weapon five is offering. An offering has power. The bible says, A man’s gift makes room for him [Proverbs 18:16]. A gift is an offering. Your life is an offering [Romans 12:1]. Today, no matter where you’re, you have to offer your life to Jesus and He will protect you. Offer yourself as a living sacrifice to God. This is time to cast our global soul winning net when people’s hearts are soft and are in their homes. These are days of heaven on earth.
