Psalms 5:12 ‘For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.’
DAILY READING; 2 Corinthians 10; 2 Kings 23:36-24:20; Habakkuk 1
The story of the Argentine Revival is a fascinating tale of how God’s power reached down and opened unprecedented doors in a place that was otherwise hostile to the Gospel.
In his book, ‘The Secrets of the Argentine Revival’ Dr. Edward Miller, an eye witness of the events, recounted the amazing miracles that led to the Argentine revival in 1954.
Before 1954, little was known of American preacher, Tommy Hicks. But he was a man of deep prayer and study of God’s Word. His spiritually fervent lifestyle attracted the power of God that made a huge difference in his life and ministry. One day, while in prayers, he received the divine instruction to go to Argentina to preach.
Before Tommy Hicks arrived in Argentina, the situation was tough for believers. Under President Peron’s decrees, all religious activities were closely monitored and censored. All meeting schedules had to be reported to the police authorities sixty days in advance. Special permission had to be granted for any special meeting, and it was extremely difficult to gain permission for large gatherings.
Yet, when Tommy Hicks arrived to preach in the country, these rules were suspended in his favor.
This happened because through him, God miraculously healed the president of Argentina of an incurable skin disease.
After his healing, the President sat down and signed total freedom for the evangelical Church in Argentina. He gave Tommy Hicks everything he requested for his crusade including the Atlantic Stadium with a seating capacity of 25,000.
As the crusade began, soon overwhelming crowds forced them to relocate to the Huracane Football Stadium with a seating capacity of 110,000, which also overflowed. In two months 3 million were reported to have attended with 300,000 decisions for Christ and a massive number of outstanding healings.
Among the converts were the vice president of Argentina, who along with his wife came to Hicks’ hotel room where they were both saved.
Through God’s power revival fire broke out that transformed the nation.
When you are clothed with God’s power and favour men will be compelled to do you good.
Psalms 5:12 says ‘For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.’
As we abide in righteousness and walk in obedience to His Word, God will surround us with unusual favor and miraculously open doors for us. When you are clothed with God’s power, protocol will be suspended and laws will be changed because of you.
For your sake, God will put pressure on people in the corridors of power and they will be in a hurry to assist you.
God is committed to giving His people favour and we are privileged to be His people by redemption.
Just as God gave the Israelites favour in the sight of the Egyptians, we are in the era of supernatural favour in the Body of Christ. Through the power of God we will be seeing favor from strange quarters and unexpected places.
Therefore we must remain heavily expectant because something good is about to happen. God is about to open doors for you that no man can shut.
As we abide faithful in seeking and serving Him, God will move us into positions and possessions we didn’t qualify for.
Psalms 44:1-3 says ‘For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.’
Through God’s favour upon us we will certainly exceed expectations and have the victory over challenges in our finances, health, family etc. In the place of ashes, we are going to see beauty, favor, health, increase.
As we remain diligent in seeking God in this season, certainly, His power and favour will cause us to standout wherever we go.
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to always remain strong in faith and keep giving You all the praise because I know You are set to change my story and usher me into new dimensions of supernatural favor and power in Jesus Name.
