The strength of an oppressor lies in either the ignorance or outright refusal of the oppressed to take actions that would stop the oppression against the oppressed and oppression. As long as King Saul and his mortified army refused to act against the verbal oppression of Goliath, Goliath remained strong and invincible. But the moment that a mere teenager unschooled in military warfare showed up and challenged Goliath to a fight, the oppression came to an end and Goliath vacated the earth for the Israelites to enjoy peace.
Beloved, do not allow any form of satanic oppression
by anyone against you and your loved ones to go unchallenged. Confront every
Goliath who makes you tremble and bring them down by the power in the name of
Jesus Christ. Do not be emotional.
The seven year oppression of Israel by the
Midianites came to an end when Gideon responded to the call of God to be used
of God to put an end to the oppression that had impoverished and intimidated
the people of Israel for so long. In point of fact, they were so intimidated
that they threshed whatever wheat they were able to harvest in wine presses. But
all that, the seven year reign of economic impoverishment came to an end with
Gideon’s anointed army of just three hundred men.
In essence, God fought for Israel to pursue,
overtake and recover all from the Midianites who always devastated the land of
Israel.
This implies that the pursuit to overtake and
recover it all is not by physical might and power. It is divine and by the Spirit
of God. God takes the initiative to stop the oppression of the enemy, puts it
in the hearts of His children by His Spirit and gives them the methods to
deploy in pursuing and overtaking the enemy to recover it all.
Midian for instance had gotten used to just entering
Israel at any point in time especially after planted crops had germinated and
were in full bloom; not to harvest the crops but to destroy them so that the
people of Israel would have nothing to eat. But God ended it. In like manner,
any oppression being experienced by your nation can come to a sudden end by the
Spirit of God if you and the people in your nation partner with God to end that
oppression.
The Amalekites had done what they considered a great
job. They had utterly destroyed Ziklag and taken the women and children
captive. Needless to say, David and his men were devastated: to the point that
his men considered stoning him. That was perhaps when David realized that he
had not done the right. Instead of turning to God immediately, he had joined
his men in wailing and now they were about to stone him. So with no one to wail
with, David turned to God and God Who never fails His own gave David a word. Go
after them irrespective of how far they appear to have gone for you will
definitely recover all they took from you.
Armed with the word of God and other physical
weapons, they embarked on the pursuit of the unknown raiders until God ordered
their steps through the sick Egyptian servant of one of the Amalekites. He eventually
led David and his men to the Amalekite raiders who were having a party. David
and his men attacked immediately and rescued their wives and children as well
as their flock.
You can be strong spiritually irrespective of
whatever persecutions you face on a daily basis. Build spiritual stamina for
the midnight hour. Deploy the weapons of spiritual warfare God has been
schooling to use by His Holy Spirit.
Do not allow anyone or circumstances to keep your life and the lives of the people in your nation on hold. God has given you laughter, Isaac. 1st Samuel Chapter 15 verse 29. Therefore, arise in your God given might to pursue the enemy and recover all from him and his cohorts in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. God bless you as you do sin the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Shalom
