Faith Capsule: Stand still without doubt and see victory.
2 Chronicles 20
God is consistent to deliver, He is perfect to perform. God will remember to favor and He will visit with salvation. He has never failed and He will not fail. God is the same yesterday and forever. He is a merciful God. Pharaoh could not let go the Israelites when he pursued them to the Red Sea. Exodus 14:10 recorded, “And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians marched after them. So they were very afraid, and the children of Israel cried out to the Lord.” Moses, God ordained spoke, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.” (Exodus 14:13)
King Jehoshaphat was faced with war against Moab and Ammon. As a result, “King Jehoshaphat feared and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah” (2 Chronicles 20:3). In his prayers, he reminded God concerning the works of God’s hand, then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel son of Zechariah God He gave His word of promise in 2 Chronicles 20:17, “You 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.”
Without doubt, knowing that God is the same yesterday and forever, knowing that He is not a partial God and knowing that deliverance belongs to God, go and stand still and begin to see and celebrate what you see. In the above cases, the solution to engage all that represents Pharaoh in your life (challenges that will not give up on you) is to “stand still and see.” Stand still without doubt and see victory. It worked for Jehoshaphat and the Israelites; it worked for the Israelites against Pharaoh. See and know that it shall work for you. See victory when is yet at hand. Know that what you see determines what you receive and what you receive is what you become. Stand still, see and become a winner.
According to Moses, the Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace. Can you see it that way? For Jehoshaphat and the Israelites, they engaged praise worship. It is written that when they began to “sing 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 defeated” (2 Chronicles 20:22). How else can you get it? The Word of God is true and if you will see in His word, you will be delivered.
Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to stand still and see victory where enemy is forcing.
