WALL OF FIRE

This story comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo where there is fighting between government and rebel soldiers.

The door fell with a crash as enemy soldiers rushed into the pastor’s house. They had machine-guns and were ready to use them. Their plan was to kill all the people in the village, beginning with the young pastor and his family.

FILLED WITH HATE

The family sat, stunned, waiting to see what would happen next.  The soldiers were filled with hate. “Wait,” the pastor said. “Please let my family and me pray for a moment before we die”  The whole family knelt, arm in arm, in a circle on the floor and asked God for his help.

As they prayed, they expected machine-gun fire any second, but none came.  Slowly they stood up. The soldiers had gone, not just from their house but from the village too.

Jehovah the Man of War Heals Nations

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Jehovah the Man of war fights for and heals nations that obey and honor Him. One of the ways God demonstrates His power is by taking over the battles of His children and fighting the enemy in His own way and power in order to give victory to His children. That is why the Bible refers to Him as Jehovah the Man of war. The Bible is replete with accounts of how God took over battles from His children and demonstrated His awesome power to the enemies of His people. Please see Exodus Chapters 14 to 15 for what happened to Pharaoh and his choice chariots at the crossing of the red sea. Pharaoh, the finest crop of his army alongside their chariots were drowned in the red sea by God. In verses 14 to 28 of Exodus Chapter 14, the Egyptians acknowledged that God was fighting for the Israelites against the Egyptians. The Bible also records in those verses that God took off the wheels of that chariots so that the soldiers drove the chariots with difficulty. And because they drove with difficulty, they lacked speed and could not flee before the waters of the sea returned to their full depth It is significant to note that every time God fights for His people, it is total elimination of the enemy, his power base and everything the enemy boasts about.  

Another way God fights for His children is to forgive their sins so that the enemy has no legal ground over the children of God. Please see 1^st John Chapter 1 verses 7 to 10. God also fights for His children by chastening them. Please see Hebrews Chapter 12 verses 5 to 13 and Proverbs Chapter 3 verses 11 to 12.

Yet another way is by removing the scales of ignorance and satanic blindness. Please see 2^nd Corinthians Chapters 3 verses 14 to 17, 4 verses 3 to 4, and Acts Chapters 13 verses 6 to 12 and 8 verses 29 to 39.

God also fights for His children by cancelling and nullifying every accusation of the devil and his cohorts against the children of God with the blood of Jesus Christ and His word. Please see Zechariah Chapter 3 verses 1 to 10 where He rebuked the devil for trying to hinder Joshua the then high Priest of Israel. Please see also Revelation Chapter 12 verses 10 to 11, Jude 9, John Chapter 8 verses 3 to 11, Isaiah Chapters 54 verses 14 to 17, 8 verses 9 to 10.

His Grace

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Amazing, Abounding, yet free

Yours for the taking

If only you will stretch out your hands

And put them in His

In the ancient paths of

Justice, love, holiness

Paid for by Jesus Christ.

The grace of God

For salvation by faith and freedom from SIN

Surrender it all TODAY and enjoy GRACE

The great work of God.
