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.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea:
his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
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.
