MOUNTAINS
MELT
Memorise:
The hills melted tike wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the
Lord of the whole earth. Psalms 97:5
Read:
Joshua 6:1, 20-21
The
manifest presence of God in some of His children is so negligible that it is no
threat to demons and their activities, whereas, this was not the case with
people like Peter, Paul and others. What a joy to know that sicknesses and
diseases bow at His presence! That is why when you are sick, endeavour to be in
His presence. By mountains we mean barriers, hindrances and long-standing
problems. None of these is strong enough to resist His presence because He was
there ever before they existed. Isaiah 90:1-2 reveals that God is older than
the oldest problem or mountain facing us. A very formidable wall the children
of Israel faced was the wall of Jericho. For other nations, when the battle
reached Jericho and the gates of Jericho were shut, that was the end of the
story. Following the same trend, the people of Jericho thought the case was
closed as far as the battle with the Israelites was concerned.
On
their part, the Israelites felt helpless. They too thought they had lost
Jericho until the Lord gave specific instructions concerning the city. They
marched around the city with the presence of God and at some point those
massive walls came crashing down. Once the walls were down, the inhabitants of
Jericho were exposed, defeated and completely destroyed. No high wall of
resistance can withstand His presence. No problem - no matter how formidable,
can withstand His presence. Psalms 97:5 says when mountains stand before God,
they melt like candle wax. From today, every problem in your life shall melt
like candle wax in Jesus name. Psalms 104:32 says mountains cannot stand if
touched by God's finger - they will burn. The Lord will touch the mountain
before you and it will burn until it is completely consumed. Ask God to
increase His presence in your life to the point that mountains will respond to
you like they respond to the Lord.
KEY
POINT
While
the presence of God melts mountains, the absence of God's presence allows then
to grow unchecked.
