READ: PSALM
44:33-8
“Then the LORD will be
seen over them, and his arrow will go forth like lighting. The Lord GOD will
blow the trumpet, and go with whirlwinds from the south.” (Zechariah 9:14). After Elisha took
ill, King Joash visited him on his sickbed and lamented over him. Later, Elisha
asked him to hold his bow and arrow, then he placed his hands on Joash’s and
asked him to shoot. As the king fired the arrows, Elisha said, “The
arrow of the LORD’S deliverance and the arrow of deliverance from Syria”
(2 Kings 13:14-17).
Why God’s arrow is called the arrow of deliverance? An arrow flies very fast. When the lord of Hosts sends his arrow, it moves like lightning to set people free because many require urgent intervention. For instance, if God does not send that arrow within seconds, an accident could occur. Have you found yourself in a near-accident situation? You were face to face with the accident then you called on his name and in a split second the arrow of God’s deliverance bulls eyed and you were miraculously delivered.
Confronted by 450 angry priests of Baal, Elijah needed an expeditious deliverance so he prayed and the arrow fell as fire. It would have taken those hungry lions less than three minutes to tear Daniel to pieces so the arrow of God’s deliverance had to come speedily. When his many enemies and their families were thrown into the same den even before they reached the bottom the Scriptures say the lions had torn them to pieces and crunched their bones (Daniel 6:24).
Are you urgently in need of deliverance? The Lord will command deliverance for you. To receive it fast, call on his name, as David did (Psalm 31:1-2). Stay out of sin because God will only send his arrow of deliverance to his righteous ones. Even when the enemy holds tight, God will replace you with a ransom. God is never late: call now.

forth like lighting. The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet, and go with whirlwinds
