2 Chronicles 20:17 KJV

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

• DAILY READING – 1 Corinthians 6; 1 Kings 19; Amos 3:3-4:3
When the state of Israel declared independence, on May 14, 1948, the Arabs immediately declared war against them. 

The Arab-Israeli War broke out soon afterwards. At the beginning of this war, Israel was grossly outnumbered, and without military support from any other nation. However, God arose and fought for His people. Among the many stories of miracles during this war, is a remarkable story, referred to as the Battle of Netanyahu. 

At the start of the war, Israel had no army and no weapons. The nation was mostly made up of Jews who had recently escaped Hitler’s holocaust. These war refugees possessed no means of protection. In fact, all the fledgling Jewish nation possessed at that time were approximately five machine guns with about fifteen rounds of ammunition and one tank.

However as the surrounding Arab nations planned a major offensive, the Jews realized that they had to come up with ways to survive. They came up with a plan that they hoped would at least buy them some time to prepare for war. On May 23, at midnight, they lined up cars, trucks, taxis, and anything they could find with an engine, side by side along the beaches from Tel Aviv through Netanya and Haifa. They then removed the exhaust pipes from the vehicles, making them sound much louder.
They then loaded large oil drums with rocks and took them to the top of the adjacent hill. When the time was right, early in the morning, the signal was given and the engines were started while the oil drums were rolled down the hill.
The unsuspecting Arab forces were suddenly awakened by the incredible noise, which completely shook the area. Since they had no idea from where the racket was coming, they could only guess – and they assumed that American forces had come to Israel’s rescue with Sherman Tanks.
The entire Arab army fled, leaving behind a treasure trove of artillery. The Jews immediately took possession of these weapons, which helped them in the initial fighting until more weapons could be purchased.  

This story is similar to what happened in 2 Kings 7, when God amplified the sounds of the lepers’ footsteps. The sounds from their steps became so loud that the Aramean army thought it was the speeding chariots and the galloping of horses and the sounds of a great army approaching. So, they fled their camps, leaving behind their valuables and abundant food supplies. 

Indeed God is not limited in how He will save. He can save by few or many.  God can use unimaginable things to send confusion into the camp of the enemy. God can amplify your sound so that news about you will strike fear into the hearts of the opposition. When God arises for you, He will turn your little efforts into a wonder that will cause the world to ponder. When God arises, our enemies are scattered.

Deuteronomy 28:7 says ‘The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.’
Do not limit how God can fight for you. He can raise help for you from strange quarters. He can use the unexpected , the unimagined. 

God is not looking for any man who is capable, but the man who is available. Just stay in God’s will and He will take care of the oppositions against you. He says in Isaiah 54 that whosoever gathers against you shall fall for your sake. He goes on to say that it is your heritage as a servant of The Lord.  

In 2 Chronicles 20, God made the enemies of king Jehoshaphat to begin to fight amongst themselves. 

And one of the key ways we engage God to fight for us is through praise. Praise is what triggers the intervention of the Omnipotent God. When you begin to sing and praise God, He sets ambushment against your enemies. God will always take over your battles when you praise Him. Praise is God’s hotline anytime! You can pray amiss, but you can never praise amiss!

It is therefore time to hand over the battle to God. 

And when God steps in, every devil bows out. Today as God arises in your favour, be assured that the victory is won in Jesus Name. .
PRAYER; Lord, Please  help me to hand over my battles to You through maintaining a praise-full lifestyle. I know that indeed You are able to take care of  whatever comes my way, including those that rise up against me. Thank You Lord for causing me to triumph always in Jesus Name. .

The battle you are faced with today is a good warfare because God has already foreordained  victorious end for you.
