*TOPIC:*CORPORATE PRAYER*
*READ: 2 Chronicles 20:1-30*
*MEMORISE:*
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 (2Chronicles 20:12).
*EXPOSITION*
When Jehoshaphat saw trouble looming, the first thing he did was to turn attention to God and proclaim a fast throughout Judah. People came around to support their king in prayer (2 Chro.2:3,31). Sometimes, we are too proud to ask others to pray for us. Jehoshaphat was a king, yet he did not put airs of self-sufficiency. Instead, He admitted his army paled in comparison to the three forces that united against him. He recognised his limitation and sought divine intervention. Though, Jehoshaphat reigned over his subject, he nevertheless called on them for prayerful support.
One of the wisest things we can do in the midst of difficulty, is to engage the assistance of someone who knows how to talk to God. The body of Christ depends on cooperation. When the people of Judah began to pray, God provided a solution through trusted prophet. Jehoshaphat was humble enough to listen and wise enough to follow His directives (vv. 14-17). As a result, the Israelites were saved. The advancing armies turned against each other and destroy themselves completely. Without shooting an arrow or drawing a sword, Judah’s forces suffered not even one casualty. Because their humble king listened, they witnessed the lord’s remarkable victory (vv.22-30).
As we sojourn this day, we have to attune our ears to God’s voice in order to hear Him. Sometimes, He speaks through people we would not choose to follow, and He often says things we are not expecting to hear. But he will provide us with solutions to our problems if we are willing to heed his words.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Lord, let the grace to handover every situation to You rest on me, now.
2. Lord, let every spirit that makes me to disregard Your counsel and solution in all circumstances leave my life now.
3. Lord, come to our aid in this nation and provide us with lasting solutions to our perennial problems in the nation.
