2 Chronicles 20
It happened that a great multitude of enemies came to make war against Jehoshaphat (Vs.1). This matter was reported to him and he was greatly afraid but he set himself (determinedly) to SEEK the Lord and he proclaimed a fast in Judah. So they all came together to seek help from the Lord (vs. 2-3). Verses 5-13, highlights the content of Jehoshaphat's prayer; he acknowledged God's sovereignty; ruler over nations; all-powerful and undefeated; the victory giver. He then presented his plea to God saying, "We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you" (Vs. 12).
In the midst of prayer, the Spirit of God came upon Jahaziel, a Levite, saying, "Be not afraid or dismayed at this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's. ...go out against them. You need not to fight this battle; take your position; stand and witness the salvation of the Lord who s with you.... Do not fear or be dismayed"(vs. 14-17). Then the Levites stood up to PRAISE the God of Israel, Jehoshaphat and all the inhabitants of Judah bowed down before the Lord, worshiping Him (vs. 19-18). the following morning they went out into the Wilderness of Tekoa and Jehoshaphat encouraged them saying, "Believe and trust in the LORD your God and you will b secure"(vs. 20). After consulting with the people, he appointed singers who praised the LORD in their holy attire (vs 21).
When they began singing and praising, the LORD set ambushes against the multitudes, so they were struck down (in defeat), they destroyed each other. The people of Judah went into their camp and took the spoils.
Who is like Jehovah Nissi? He fights our battles and reigns in victory. He has never lost any battle. Praise the LORD to your triumphant victory because the battle is His. I prophetically declare VICTORY in my life. I am determined to SEEK the LORD. I am determined to Sing PRAISES to Him even in the wilderness.
The battle belongs to the LORD.
The battle belongs to the LORD.
