Often time when God wants to redeem His chosen people from the bondage of oppression, affliction, terrorism or of sin; the Lord would come down in a powerful way that would shake and amaze the world. He, may come down as the avenger of His people, and would prove Himself as “stronger than their enemies that holds them fast; “He can over power all the forces that is against them, and put strength into His own people though they are very weak”.
We see Him doing this in the terrible manner as Hehumbled King Herod who became proud that he claimed to be God (Acts. 12:20-24).The redeemer sent His angel to strike King Herod dead, and gave His body to be ridiculously eaten up by maggots.
That same God that struck Herod dead is still alive today. David said before Goliath you come to me with sword and shield, but I have come to you in the name of the Lord God of Israel”. It is that name of God of Israel that entered into David’s stone, and transformed it into the killer bolt.
Because the Lord was provoked to rise and plead the cause of His people.
Even though David was 17 years old, he killed Goliath because he exalted the name of the Lord God of hosts. (1 Sam. 17:45-47). As the Lord of hosts, He is the mighty terrible one who will always answer to His name. And when He does you see that He is truly what the people call Him. He will be the Lord of hosts to them for which they depend upon Him.
God has said that we should not fear any enemy this year because the Redeemer who is strong is ready to plead our cause.
This year, you will match forward, you will be great in your homes, your offices and your resources; no poverty this year, because He is a great God and He has all things (blessings) in His hand.
As for fight, he will plead our cause. He will fight our battle for us, in the open and in the secret places.
Who can withstand the wrath of the Almighty?
But, whether this strong Redeemer will plead your cause this year or not is in your hand because you cannot be the enemy of God and still be asking Him to fight for you.
This year is a year of deliverance from Babylon/captivity. God said it,and He did it for the Israelites in Babylon. When He pleaded the cause of His people in captivity He tamed the arrogant Nebuchadnezzar the King of Babylon. He changed his humanity and made him to stay in the forest eating grass for seven years. This year, you will not suffer because your Redeemer is strong. Try to be in oneness with Him.
Be righteous.The Bible says;”Buy the truth and sell it not (Prov. 23:23). Some know the truth but cannot defend it, this is why we have hypocrisy in the churches today.
If you want this Redeemer that is strong to fight your battle this year, be at peace with Him.
