THANKSGIVING FOR UNSEEN VICTORIES

BIBLE READING: 2 KINGS 18:13-19:37

“But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the LORD has given you the city... So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.” Joshua‬ ‭6:15-16, 20‬(‭NKJV‬‬)

There is no limit to how much thanks we should render to God. There is nothing like being too thankful and like I always say, nothing ever finishes in the hand of a thankful person. Today, we will be looking at yet another reason why we should be thankful.

Our Bible reading today speaks of Sennacherib who was the king of Assyria and came against king Hezekiah and the land of Judah. Sennacherib had defeated countless countries and taken them off to slavery. As a matter of fact, he had already conquered Israel and scattered them all about his empire. So now it was Judah’s turn and it was going to be business as usual. None of the gods of the nations had saved them from his power, so he had no reason to think it would be different this time. Unfortunately for him however, there was an angel who kept watch over the nation of Israel. And after he ridiculed God, the angel moved against him and slaughtered his entire army of 185,000 people. Not only that, his own sons moved against him and killed him immediately he got back home. Judah was saved and they didn’t even see the battle take place. They went to bed one night surrounded by enemies and woke up the next morning to victory.

In the same way, there were battles that were fought on our behalf throughout the year that we had no idea of. Angels have been on assignment watching over us, protecting us, causing favor to come to us and doing so many things for us that we have been totally unaware of. The Israelites marched around Jericho once every day and seven times on the seventh day. Then they screamed and the walls came crashing down. That was what they saw but the part they didn’t see was the host of angels standing on the walls and pushing them into the ground. This is recorded in the Holy Bible in Joshua 6:1-27 and corroborated in the book titled “Angels on Assignment” as narrated by Pastor Roland Buck.

What hidden battles have been fought and won over you this year? What are the dangers the Angels have protected you from this year that you were totally unaware of? Take time out to thank God and praise Him for those hidden battles that He saved you and your family from this year.

PRAYER:
Lord I thank you for giving your angels charge over me and for all the unseen battles you fought for me and my family. The one you saved, I have come to worship and say thank you.
