A sister in the Lord asked me an interesting question
concerning Jehoshaphat. This is her question;
"From (2 chron 20:22)..Why did Jehoshaphat decide to
put singers in front of the battle instead of warriors. Because the lord didn't
say so..he only said he had fought their battle for them.
So why did he choose
to sing at that time?"
ANSWER:
If you check the previous verses, it tells us that they
received the assurance that God was with them. They were asked to be still
(i.e. To rest in God's promise of salvation). God being with them is the Only
thing that mattered.
You see, if God is with you, you do not need to focus on
methodology. No! Why? It is not by power nor might. It is by the ability of the
Holy Spirit. If God is with you, you don't need to shout the way someone else
did when he was casting out a demon or healing the sick, you don't need a long
fast or lengthy prayer. If God is with
you, you don't need a special method (unless the Lord specifically told you),
no, the method you believe in is what will work for you.
When God is with you, you do what God wants to be done and
say what God wants to be said, even without hearing a voice or seeing a vision.
Why do i say so? See what Samuel told Saul:
*[[1Sa 10:6-7]] NET* 6. Then the spirit of the LORD will
rush upon you and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a
different person. 7. “When these signs have taken place, do whatever your hand
finds to do, for God will be with you.
You see, with God, there is no limit to what we can do in
Christ. All things are possible with God. And we can do all things through
Christ who strengthens us.
In Acts 10:38, we see that Jesus went about doing good and
healing ALL those oppressed by the devil because God was with Him.
That is why Paul tells us of the great mystery that is
revealed in us. Which is; "Christ in you the hope of glory."
God has proved this to me through out my life. There have
been times where, during ministration, i would say or do something and some of
my prophet friends present would come to me at the end of the meeting to
confirm to me how they heard or saw it before i ever said or did, although i
did not hear a voice or see any vision.
So even if the Israelites had chosen to stand without
singing, or decided to go to battle eating 'kelewele', God would have still
given them victory. Because it did not depend on their performance but on God
who had given His word. He watches over His word to perform. This is why we are
encouraged to enter into God's rest.
Cease from your performance. Stop trying to help God. He has
got it all figured out already. Only believe. Shalom!!!
