REMIND HIM

2 Chronicles 20

 

King Jehoshaphat was faced with war against < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Moab and Ammon. As a result, ÒKing Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all JudahÓ (2 Chronicles 20:3). In his prayers, he reminded God concerning the works of GodÕs hand and God responded by sending Jahaziel. God commanded them where to go and He gave His word of promise in 2 Chronicles 20:17, ÒYou will not need to fight in this battle, position yourselves, standstill and see the salvation of the LORD, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem! Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the LORD is with you.Ó Indeed and in truth, the Word of God is for deliverance from every agent of destruction if we will hear and believe. Are you foreseeing any representative of Moab and Ammon in your life? King Jehoshaphat did not call on man nor consider what man could do before he took his case straight up to the only God who delivers. He reminded God concerning the works of His hands that have always prevailed. Do you have any testimony that you can remind Him of in order to provoke another testimony? If you have none, then remind Him concerning the ones that have been documented in the pages of the Bible for our admonitions and learning. Jehoshaphat and his people positioned themselves by standing still. They were unshakeable, and they rested their case in the hand of God. They acknowledge that they would not be able to fight a successive battle in their own strength and might. They positioned themselves victorious when they began to see victory before it was yet there. Above all, they busted into praise worship. It is written that when they began to Òsing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon and Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeatedÓ (2 Chronicles 20:22). How else can you get it? The Word of God is true and if you will believe in His Word, you will be delivered.
