THE MIGHTY DEEDS OF GOD
Memorise: The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name. Exodus
15:3
Read: Exodus 15:1-6, (KJV) 1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto
the Lord, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for
he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the
sea.
2 The Lord is my
strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will
prepare him an habitation; my father's God, and I will exalt him.
3 The Lord is a
man of war: the Lord is his
name.
5 The
depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.
6 Thy
right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath
dashed in pieces the enemy.
Bible in one year: Romans 7:7-9:29, Psalms 5
MESSAGE
One attribute of the Almighty God
that children of God cannot afford to be ignorant of is that He is the Greatest
Warrior. The children of Israel experienced the mighty deeds of God and they
spontaneously composed a song as we read in our text for today:
“The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my
salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God,
and I will exalt him. The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name. Pharaoh’s
chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains also are
drowned in the Red sea.”
Exodus 15:1-4
When children of God fail to
recognise the fact that their Father in Heaven is a Man of war, the tendency is
that they cringe and bow to worship their enemies in fear. This in turn will
bring the judgement of God upon their lives because God says in Exodus 20:3
that we must have no other god before Him. This is why Jesus Christ came to
deliver those who, for the fear of death, have subjected themselves to
everlasting bondage;
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh
and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same that through death he
might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And deliver
them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.”
Hebrews 2:14-15
I have seen the mighty deeds of
God in my life and I have come to the conclusion that there is no god as mighty
as my Daddy in Heaven, the Lord of hosts. One day I was travelling with my
driver and we go to the middle of a narrow bridge that could take only one
vehicle at a time before we discovered that a truck was coming from the
opposite direction on the same bridge. It was the mighty deed of God that made
the bridge “elastic” for my car and the truck to pass without colliding with
each other. I pray for someone using this devotional; the mighty deeds of God
will produce your desired miracle today in Jesus’ name. For you to experience
the mighty deeds of God, you must be one of His own. The Israelites experienced
the mighty deeds of God because they belonged to Him. To experience the mighty
deed of God, you need to be born-again. The Israelites were covenant people and
so God kept His covenant of great deliverance with them such that the enemies
that pursued them to the Red Sea were never seen again. The mighty deeds of God
will become a daily occurrence in your life if you can identify with the
covenant which Jesus made with His blood at Calvary. May the Almighty God cause
great deliverance to an oppressed user of this devotional today in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, please make me experience your mighty deeds this season in
Jesus’ name.
