Bible Reading: Psalm 50:15 (AMP), Proverbs 18:10, 2 Timothy 4:18
Memory Verse: God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 (NKJV)
1. A daughter of Zion was abducted with four other victims. They ambushed their vehicle on the expressway somewhere in Ogun State and were taken into a forest. She said, “I prayed to God to make them fall asleep, and they fell asleep and continued to sleep until I began to make my way out of the bush. I was asking God for direction to the road.” She eventually came to a road and met a motorcyclist and narrated her story and the cyclist brought her to a police checkpoint. She said she was interviewed by the police commissioner and her information led to the rescue of the other captives. Her deliverance led to the deliverance of several others. That’s God for you!
2. As he was going to Church on a particular day, a commercial bus conveying this child of God was diverted into the bush. It is at such moment you don’t pray, but cry to your God. No wonder the Psalmist in Psalm 28:2 (BSB) says, “Hear my cry for mercy when I call to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.” In an unexplainable way, he escaped right there in the thick forest. Now, as he navigates his way through the forest, he noticed a certain tree with many padlocks nailed on it. The Holy Spirit told him to open all the padlocks. He rebuked every work of darkness programmed into them and opened them all. Some people’s destinies had just been set loosed by that act. Indeed all things work together for good to them that love God and to them who are called according to His purpose.
3. Three of them entered a wrong bus popularly called “one chance”. The herbalist who wanted to use them for rituals said if they killed one particular person amongst them, her blood will expose the kidnappers. Hence, they were forced to return her back to the main road. Question: What made her blood undrinkable? She was connected to the altar of God. She was connected to the altar of mercy. She was connected to the altar of fire.’
Quote: Whoever kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or is found with him in his possession, must be put to death – Exodus 21:16 (AMP)
Prophetic Decree: The same God who delivered Daniel from the mouth of lions and disgraced his enemies shall rescue you and disgrace anyone hunting for you, in Jesus name.
