Topic: WARFARE INTO DIVINE ELEVATION: MAP YOUR BATTLES
Content:
1. Pre-sermon declarations
• Psalms 118:24: This is the day the Lord has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
2. Fire scripture:
Psalm 27:6 says, "And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me, and I will offer in his tent sacrifices with shouts of joy; I will sing and make melody to the Lord"
John 10:10 - The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
3. Map your battles: What is the enemy fighting in your life. That is your victory and dancing plate.
Look at Job. All his wealth was taken but this was his dancing victory
Look at David.
Look at Hannah
Elevation in the spirit, life, work and career cannot be done by the flesh. We live in a world full of chaos: Nepotism, favouritism, tribalism, kickbacks, clubs, occultism and all sorts of magical feats, but through patiently waiting on God and maintaining the Christian character of holiness, honesty and righteousness.
1 Samuel 2:7 states, "The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and he exalts". In this verse, Hannah is declaring that God is the one who determines the wealth and status of people on Earth. She also says that God can reverse the fortunes of people, elevating the poor and hungry while bringing down the rich and powerful.
- God opened the book of remembrance for Hannah and put a song in her mouth. In her song of thanksgiving, she recognised the fact that God is the only one that has power to bring low or lift high.
- She had been taunted and hurt with many evil words. “You can never amount to anything” “You are living a wasted life”, “Look at you, what have you achieved in life?”. The enemy had turned her glory into shame.
- When there was no one and nowhere to turn to, Hannah entered into the house of God. She cried out to God from bitterness of her soul. The Bible says, 1 Samuel 1:19 “The Lord remembered Hannah”
3. Confessions before spiritual warfare and declarations.
Psalm 75: 6 – 7 No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt themselves. 7 It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.
Deuteronomy 28:13 13 The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
