READ: LUKE
7:11-15
After
Elijah left Ahab the Lord spoke to him. Whenever the Holy Spirit is in
operation, God speaks. What does He say? According to Genesis 1:1-3, God speaks
light into darkeness, because He is light and He hates darkness with a passion.
Every darkness in your life and path will receive the light of Jesus in the
mighty name of Jesus. At the beginning in Genesis 1:2, everything was empty and
in a state of chaos until the Holy Spirit moved. Then God spoke. Let the Holy
Spirit move in your life, so that God will speak every chaos in it. On way of
provoking the move of the Holy Spirit is through heart-felt praise and worship.
When God speaks, He imparts courage to the fearful. After exhausting all possible measures without success, and there is genuine reason to be afraid, God will speak ‘fear not’ to you. The Egyptians pursued the Israelites in an attempt to return them into slavery. The children of Israel were besieged. In front of them was the Red sea with no ship or bridge; on their left and right, there was no way. Behind them the overzealous Egyptian army. They legitimate reasons to be afraid (Exodus 14:10-14). But the Lord told them to ‘fear not’, because shortly, their enemies would be extinct.
Are surrounded like the Israelites? Maybe at your office there is a threat of sack; at home a threat of eviction in the family your children are sick and you cannot afford medical bills; in church some sons of belial have ganged up to finish your ministry? You are so confused; you think this may just be your end. The Lord says, ‘Fear not. This is just the beginning. Soon all invading armies will be extinct. You will look around, but you will not see them again.’ Go before the Lord and worship the Holy Spirit and cause Him to move. When He does, God will speak and all those enemies will be completely swallowed up.

in his stead.
