THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL...

DATE: SATURDAY, JUNE 25TH, 2016.

TEXT: Psalm 35

THEME: THE LORD WILL SEND THUNDER

"And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel: but the LORD thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines, and discomfited them; and they were smitten before Israel. "(1 Samuel 7:9)

MESSAGE:
For the children of Israel, one thing that was required for them to experience the hand of God was to return to God via repentance. They were expected to put away their strange gods, prepare their hearts unto Him and serve Him only. They gave it a try and that day, they overcame their long standing enemies.

I do not know the problem that has become like a perennial rival over the years, but if you can do like the Israelites of those days and repent and put away every strange god, He will surely deliver you. Remember, strange god here might represent that evil habit that had refused to give way. Put it away and as our pastor ceases not to pray for us, we shall discomfit our enemies.

Sing a few praise/worship songs. Make a thanksgiving prayer and ask God for mercies and the forgiveness ofsins. Thereafter, take the following prayer points.

Prayer Points:
1. Every strange god controlling my life, in the name of Jesus I put you away. Any evil habit that has refused to give way; be broken by the Holy Ghost, in Jesus name.

2. Any last minute attack programmed against my life/destiny; be nullified, in Jesus' name.

3. Every enemy drawing nearer to me for battle: be defeated by the Holy Ghost, in Jesus' name.

4. O God, visit my enemies with thunder and cause them to scatter, in Jesus' name.

5. I command thunder and brimstone upon all my unrepentant enemies, in Jesus' name.
