Senior Pastor’s Devotional
Day 4 Movement Restriction Order – “Strategic Psalm 91 Watch”
What is going on? This is one of the question that some are asking.
To explain this, first and foremost we have to understand a biblical principle.
“Everything visible or physical it is preceded by something invisible and spiritual.” (Tony Evans)
Putting it another word – “Everything visible or physical, there is something invisible and spiritual within.”
If what you see is all you see, you do not see all there is to be seen.
Hebrews 12:25-29
‘See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.”
If you believe God’s Word, you will realize that the shakings of the world is one of the way that God speaks….”see to it that you do not refuse him who speaks.’
It is easy to be side tracked; clouded by fears and anxiety and then miss out the voice of God. What is God saying?
1) Wake Up.
It is a wake – up call for the entire world. We have gone too far in some of our ways.
It is interesting to note that when everything is fine, people shove God aside- never talked about Him; never even considered Him. However, when things go wrong; people blame God and question God! Suddenly God is brought forward as if He is being held accountable and responsible!?
It is a wake up call for unbelievers to realise that we need Him. It is a wake up call to believers – to leave mediocracy; lukewarm attitudes and walk closely with Him.
2) Clean Up.
It is a cleansing time, as man who has always been in control has suddenly found that the combined forces of all the powerful nations of the world cannot control this tiny, invisible enemy at work.
It is time for soul cleaning. In the physical realm it is happening. When everything stops; the air is cleaner; the rivers, seas and oceans are calmer and cleaner. Even wild animals and fishes like dolphins are appearing in certain shores!
See the visible and the physical – but learn to see the invisible and the spiritual and ‘see to it that we do not refuse him who speaks!
Ps Lawrence.
