Psalms 68:1 – 3 ‘Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

Hamas, is an acronym for Harakat al-Muqawama al-Islamiya (“Islamic Resistance Movement”). It was founded in 1988, with the aim of warring against the state of Israel. Ever since, it has become Israel’s major foe. In the 1990’s, Israel’s security were very hard pressed in this war with Hamas. Residents in Israel were under constant rocket attack and suicide bombings. As the Jewish nation frantically looked for a way out of this situation, God raised help for them from strange quarters
when in 1996, the son of a top leader of Hamas, turned around to become Israel’s greatest informant.
In his best-selling book, Son of Hamas’, Mosab Hassan Yousef tells the story of his encounter with Christ and how God turned him away from terrorism and used him rather as an instrument to help protect the people of Israel.
As the oldest son of one of the founding leaders of Hamas, Mosab had an inside view of the organization. And from the innermost circles of Hamas, he worked for Israel, helping to track down suicide bombers and their handlers from his father’s terrorist organization. The information Yousef supplied prevented dozens of suicide attacks and assassinations, exposed numerous terrorist cells, and helped in hunting down many militants, including masterminds of terrorist attacks, and notorious bomb makers.
In 2007, he moved to the United States, where he wrote his bestselling book.
The work Mosab did was instrumental in saving many lives.
At a time, when Israeli security needed help with an enemy too difficult for them, God raised help from unexpected quarters.
In II Chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat was faced with a similarly difficult situation. He was faced with a battle greater than him. Three enemy nations were against him. In II Chronicles 20:12, he said “We have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee”.
And when they engaged God through praise, God did the unexpected. He caused the enemies to fight among themselves, they were all smitten and none of them escaped.
There are battles in your life that can be mightier than your strength and because of their complex nature, you can come to your wits’ end. In that case, let God take over your battles. Let Him go ahead of you, as you hide behind Him. He can do exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever ask or think. Just praise and exalt Him. God can turn situations around in a way you never expected. God can visit you in unprecedented ways. He will do things that will cause men to say ‘this can only be the finger of God.’
When the battle is stronger than your capacity, just hand it over to God by giving Him worthy praise.
Maybe you have tried your best, yet things are still not working as you anticipated. It doesn’t matter what forces are arrayed against you; just switch to praise. High praises provokes God to fight for you.
Romans 8:31says ‘If God be for us who can be against us?’
Today, as we give God worthy praise, surely, He will arise for us and all our enemies will be scattered. [Psalms 68:1 – 3]
PRAYER: Lord, please arise for me, so that every enemy will be scattered. Let there be a mighty manifestation of Your power that will guarantee victory for me in every battle in Jesus Name.
