SUNDAY 27TH, JANUARY 2019
Matt 6:5-15, Psalm 22:28, Psalm 47:2,8, Dan 4:17, 25,32
INTRODUCTION: Safety is not the absence of danger but the presence of God. Psalm 125:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion that can never be moved. May the rod of the wicked never rest upon you or any member of your household in 2109 in Jesus Mighty Name.
SUPER LETHAL SILENT WEAPONS – SLSWs:
- ILL/DESTROYING WIND/AN EAST WIND: Jer 51:1
- SOUNDS OF CHARIOTS, HORSES AND A GREAT ARMY – 2 Kings 6:24-33, 7:1-13 – Syria Besieges Samaria in Famine
- RUMOURS OF WAR – 2 Kings 19:1-14
- DRUNKENNESS & PERPETUAL SLEEP: Jer 51:39,57; Psalm 76:4-6
- (SLSW 104)
Jer 51:36-41, Ps 76:4-6, Isa 19:11-15
39 In their excitement I will prepare their feasts;
I will make them drunk,
That they may rejoice,
And sleep a perpetual sleep
And not awake,” says the Lord.
57I will make her officials and wise men drunk,
Her governors, officers and warriors as well;
They will sleep forever and not awake,”
Declares the king, whose name is the lord almighty.
God is too dangerous a God to be toyed with. He has several weapons of warfare at His disposal to fight the enemies of his people. Drunkenness and perpetual sleep are super silent lethal weapon in which God can noiselessly and quietly get your enemies drunk and put them to perpetual sleep so that they never wake up to torment you any longer.
GOD SCRAMBLES THE BRAINS OF VICTIMS SUCH THAT:
- Such persons/people begin to commit errors and make irredeemable mistakes – When God gets them drunk, they will forget the things they were proficient in when God had not started dealing with them. Isa 19:13
- They will not find use for their hands – When God causes them to make errors, they will become useless and they will be pushed aside and ignored.
- Their strength will fail them.
- There will be a manifestation of foolishness among their so-called wise men – They will begin to give wrong counsel that will be complicating a problem instead of proffering the desired solution.
- They are susceptible to deceit and delusion – They are easily deceived such that they feel that the truth will find no relevance in them or their situation again.
- They stagger about purposeless and directionless – When a man is drunk, he has no known destination again but begins to wobble around looking for support.
- They become strong headed unto their own destruction – perpetual sleep.
PRAYER:
- FRUSTRATION OF THE PLANS OF SCHEMERS – SLSW 105
He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
He catches the wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
But He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand.
16 SO THE POOR HAVE HOPE,
AND INJUSTICE SHUTS HER MOUTH.
From where God is in heaven, He frustrates and renders useless the plan of the enemies with his super lethal silent weapon of frustration. He is a God of justice and does not tolerate any form of injustice. You cannot work with God and get shortchanged because He will fight for you and defend you. The horse is prepared against the day of battle but safety is of the Lord.
Example:
7 Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry,
8 And all of them conspired together to come and attack jerusalem and create confusion
Neh 4:7-18 – Nehemiah received a burden to go and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem that were broken down. As a cup bearer to the king, he sought permission to go and rebuild. He had favour with God and the king and was granted leave of absence to go to Jerusalem to fix the wall. He was given a letter of assistance to every territory and tribe he will come to so that they will give him every resource he will need to execute the project because whatever God orders for, He pays for in full.
Despite the fact that the walls were in ruins, He got to Jerusalem and discovered that the enemies are never in support of anything good. When the enemies heard that the walls were about to rebuilt, they became very angry and they conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion.
-
- With it the enemy also hears of what exploits you are doing or about to do and he conspires against you to create confusion.
Job 5:10-12
10 Then JUDAH SAID, “The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.”
11 And OUR ADVERSARIES SAID, “They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease.”
12 So it was, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that THEY TOLD US TEN TIMES, “From whatever place you turn, they will be upon us.”
The devil is not your only enemy. Even members of your household can sometimes be a hinderance to the fulfillment of God’s plans for you. You need to be extremely careful and guard the content that you allow proceed into your ears.
- WATCH YOUR TONGUE DURING WARFARE
14 And I looked, and arose and said to the nobles, to the leaders, and to the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, great and awesome, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.”
In this year of warfare, you should watch your tongue. There must be a powerful and sure word in your mouth to confront the devil and his cohorts with. Also, there are certain relationships you have to cut off this year if you want to attain God’s desired height in all your fields of endeavor. You must make up your mind and be determined to leave the lowlife and come up hither.
God frustrated the plans of the enemies who were against the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem because a man who knew his onions arose and talked the talk. God divinely inspired the technique that was used to subdue the enemies of the work of God. There are those who will be helpers of your destiny not with naira and kobo but with words of encouragement – Watch out for them.
There are naysayers you will meet on the way to the top who will be trying to pull down your vision because they have no destination in mind for themselves – Learn to know the difference. If you are going to build to last, you must build your spiritual capacity and sharpen your weapon always and build according to God’s pattern and Master plan that He has designed from the foundation of the world.
- NEUTRALIZATION/CONVERTING TO ERROR OF THE WISDOM OF THE WISE – SLSW 106 – Isa 29:13-16, Isa 44:25 NLT
Because of this, I will once again astound these hypocrites
With amazing wonders.
The wisdom of the wise will pass away,
And the intelligence of the intelligent will disappear.”
Isa 44:25 NLT
25I expose the false prophets as liars
And make fools of fortune-tellers.
I cause the wise to give bad advice,
Thus proving them to be fools.
God is able to neutralize the counsel of the wise no matter how potent it might be considered to be. From today your heart must be with the Lord to enjoy any of His super lethal silent weapon. You cannot afford your heart to be far from Him. A good example of how God is able to neutralize the scheming of the schemers is Ahitophel’s encounter with King David in 2 Sam 15:31
31 Then someone told David, saying, “Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.” And David said, “O LORD, I PRAY, TURN THE COUNSEL OF AHITHOPHEL INTO FOOLISHNESS!”
Despite the master plan counsel that Ahitophel gave, God turned his counsel into sheer foolishness because of David. If the plan had been followed, David God’s servant might have been killed untimely.
God has other silent lethal weapons of warfare but you must immerse yourself in His grace to access the treasury of heaven. You cannot afford to be on the sidelines.
