Title: Our eyes are upon you.

“Here they are, rewarding us by coming to throw us out of Your possession which You have given us to inherit.

 O our God, will You not judge them?

 For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; 

nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”‭‭II Chronicles‬ ‭20:11-12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

When the will of Almighty God you represent is under threat or under attack your only defense is to call upon God.

 Praise and worship are fatal weapons against the enemy. 

Point of Reflection:
There is power in praise.

 Jehoshaphat employed the weapon of praise and worship when he was

 comforted by an army he could not conceivably defeat by natural means.

 Paul and Silas were, beaten, put in stocks  inside a maximum security prison.

 Their offence was simply doing the will of God, preaching the gospel as they had been sent to do.

 At midnight, literally and in their midnight hour figuratively, they started praising and worshipping Almighty God.

 Such was their positive attitude and sense of victory, that they could start praising 

and worshipping Almighty God in those circumstances.

 A lot of us would have been asking but God why?

 We were doing your will, you sent us to preach to all creatures, 

now we have not only been stopped, beaten and put in stocks 

 but we have been put in maximum security prison. (Acts 16:18-34).

What followed was an earthquake, the prison foundations were shaken,

 the stocks were broken, the doors were opened.

 The end of the story was salvation for the jailer and his household and deliverance for Paul and Silas.

King Jehoshaphat went to the battle fields and started singing and praising God.

 There was a great victory. 

He realised the battle was not his but God's. Militarily he was out-numbered.

He sent women and children at the front line of battle armed  with  worship and praise to Almighty God.

Sometimes realise there are no human solutions to the situation you encounter and

 you need Almighty God Himself to intervene and prove himself God.

Do you desire to allow Almighty God to intervene in your situation and prove Himself God?

 Do you desire Him to judge the enemies of the Cross?

When you are ready:

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ I thank you for your grace and mercy.

 Thank you for redemption through Jesus Christ. 

Today I acknowledge  the risen Jesus Christ as my Lord.

 I set myself apart and consecrate myself for you. 

I reject, denounce and renounce every working of the enemy satan upon my life in the name of Jesus Christ.

 Jesus Christ the Son of God Almighty defeated and disarmed you publicly and openly on the cross.

 I declare you have no right in the affairs of my life, my calling and ministry.

 Heavenly Father I thank you for your faithfulness.

 For Lord we have no power against the situations coming against us, but our eyes are upon you.

Father I praise you today for you are good and your mercy and loving kindness endure forever.

 Your mercies are new every morning.

 I crown you Lord of all.

 I crown you King of kings and Lord of lords.

 To you all glory is due, for you alone are worthy to receive power, honour, dominion and glory. 

You alone are worthy to be adored and worshipped, you alone are worthy of all praise.

We worship the beauty of holiness.

 You who lives and reigns forever and ever. 

For you are holy O Lord and heaven and earth are full of your glory.

 For you have created all things, for your pleasure they are and were created.

 Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. ......

We worship you in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

As you worship Him who lives and reigns forever and ever, removing your crown (Revelations 4:8-11)

He will intervene in your situation. Glory be to God forevermore.
