Message

In our Bible reading for today, we see that when God hears the cry of one of His children and arises on behalf of that fellow, the whole earth will tremble, and the foundations of heaven will shake. This means that when God steps into a situation, His impact will be felt immediately.

Do you know that it is possible for you to get God to rise on your behalf? Psalm 144:5-6 says:

Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down:touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. Cast forth lightning, and scatter them:shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.

When the battle you are facing is becoming too great for you, and you need urgent divine intervention, you can specifically ask God to arise and come down to the earth for your sake, and He will do so. God sits in the heavens and controls everything that happens on the earth because the earth is His footstool. However, every now and then, when His children are facing some tough battles, He prefers to arise and come down by Himself to fight for them. Psalm 68:1-2 says:

Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered:let them also that hate him flee before him. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away:as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

When you become overwhelmed, and all you need is for your enemies to be scattered, cry unto God and say, "Oh Lord, Arise!" He said in Psalm 50:15 that you should call on Him in the day of trouble, and He will answer you. I have discovered from the Scriptures and from personal experiences that whenever a genuine child of God is faced with overwhelming situations and circumstances, and he or She cries for God to arise and fight the battle, God always shows up.

In 2 Kings 19:14-19, King Hezekiah cried to the Lord when a mighty army decided to wage war against Judah. He knew tat Judah did not stand any chance against the mighty Assyrian army; therefore, he reported the matter to God. God arose for Judah, and in that same night, the angel of the Lord went into the camp of the Assyrian army and killed 185,000 soldiers. Hezekiah did not even need to raise an army to fight against the Assyrians; God took care of them Himself.

Beloved, do not despair when you are faced with seemingly Impossible situations. Cry unto God, and He will surely arise to deliver you.

When Peace Like A River Attendeth My Way

King James Version

2 Samuel 22:7-10

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears. [8] Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth. [9] There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. [10] He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.
RCCG Hymn

When peace, like a river attendeth my way

  1. When peace, like a river attendeth my way.
    When sorrows, like sea billows roll;
    Whatever my lot. Thou has taught me to know,
    "It is well, it is well with my soul

    2. It is well,... With my soul,...
    It is well, it is well with my soul


  2. Though Satan should buffet.
    It trials should come.
    Let this blest assurance control.
    That Christ hath regarded my Helpless estate.
    And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
  3. My sin- Oh, the bliss of this glorious thought
    My sin-not in part, but the Whole
    Is nailed to His cross; and I bear it no more:
    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord.O my soul.
  4. For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live!
    If Jordan above me shall roll.
    No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
    Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.
  5. .But the Lord, 'tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait.
    The sky, not the grave, is our te', goal:
    Oh, triumph of the angel! oh, voice of the Lord!
    Blessed hope! Blessed rest of my soul.
