Psalm 18:3 ‘I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.’
DAILY READING; Galatians 5:16-26; Ezekiel 1; Psalm 148
In his book, ‘A Wandering Jew in Brazil’ Solomon Ginsburg gave an account of God’s miraculous deliverance while he was on a missionary trip to an interior part of Brazil.
He had travelled about 1,000 miles inland to a city called Jacobina, which was one of the greatest market centers of the State. On reaching there he found the town crowded with thousands of people that had come to trade.
Solomon set up his little organ in the market place and began playing songs of praises. Soon the music began to draw an enormous crowd. After singing and praising God, Solomon Ginsburg stood upon a stool and began to explain to them the reason for his singing and told them about the love of God. Many among the crowd, who had never heard the Gospel, listened with rapt attention as he preached.
However, a group of people from the local priest were opposed to his preaching. They began to stir up the crowd against him by telling the people that he was evil. Soon there was a commotion in the crowd as some fanatics brought out daggers and knives and began aiming towards Solomon Ginsburg.
As the commotion increased, Solomon kept on preaching, all the while praying to the Lord to come to his rescue. He had come alone and did not know anyone from the town. He had no idea how he could escape the group of blood thirsty men coming towards him.
But suddenly out of nowhere, about six men appeared and surrounded the stool where he stood. They told him that they had come to escort him safely away from the market to their homes.
Solomon Ginsburg had no idea who they were, but these men rescued him and took him to one of the best houses in the town, which was protected by soldiers with loaded guns.
Solomon Ginsburg later safely left the town, praising God for His quick intervention and timely deliverance that had saved him from death.
Psalm 22:3 tells us that God inhabits the praises of His people. This means that while Solomon Ginsburg was praising God in that market place, the environment had become saturated with God’s Presence. This made it impossible for harm to come to him, because evil cannot operate where God abides.
Indeed praise is a powerful spiritual weapon that provokes God’s supernatural deliverance..
In 2 Chronicles 20, a great army came against King Jehoshaphat. He was greatly outnumbered and did not know what to do. But when he and the men of Judah began to praise God, they provoked speedy divine intervention.
God made their enemies to fight against each other, until they were all destroyed.
Indeed God is fearful in praises, doing wonders.
Anytime you desire a speedy divine intervention, bring God into your situation with praise. We serve the God of sudden visitations. He is the God of divine surprises who can suddenly arise and turn the tide of the battle in your favor.
Praise is what triggers the intervention of the Omnipotent God. Praise is God’s hotline anytime!
When you learn to give God praise in the midst of your battles, you will see speedy victory and deliverance.
psalm 18: 3 says ” I will call upon the Lord who is worthy to be praised, so shall I be saved from mine enemies”.
You can be saved from every enemy of your destiny as you engage the weapon of praise .
As you begin to sing and praise God, He will set an ambush against those things that have gathered against you.
Isaiah 54:15 says they will surely gather together, but then so shall they also surely fall for your sake as God arises for your help..
Every spiritual gang-up against you will be scattered when you take the time to give God high praises .You are never helpless when you know how to engage the mystery of praise.
It doesn’t matter how big that obstacle, you and God are a majority. If you’ll dig your heels in and refuse to complain but rather, offer up a sacrifice of praise, God will show up for your rescue.
Indeed God works wonders in praise. Therefore today, let us give Him worthy praise and watch Him arise to give us speedy victory in every battle..
