JUST A SHOUT
SONG
That is why you are called Jehovah.
That is why you are called Jehovah,
what you say you will do,
that is what you have done.
That is why you are called Jehovah.
TEXT
"And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him." - Joshua 6:5 (KJV)
The shout of faith is in contrast to the murmuring of wavering faith, and to the wails of discouraged hearts. The shout can mean just a simple AMEN to a prayer or an HALLELUJAH to prayer. It is like a signature of agreement that seals a deal.
The Lord said to Joshua, “... See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.” -:Jos 6:2. He had not said, “I will give,” but “I have given.” It belonged to them already; and now they were called to take possession of it. But the great question was, how? It looked impossible, but the Lord declared His plan.
In the same vein, God has given us so many inheritances to possess by faith. The question also is how many of these have we appropriated by faith unto ourselves?
Now, no one can suppose for a moment that this shout caused the walls to fall. And yet the secret of their victory lay in just this shout. For it was the shout of faith which by the authority of God’s Word a promised victory was claimed, even when there were no signs of this victory being accomplished. According to their faith God did unto them; so that, when they shouted, He made the walls to fall.
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." - Heb.11.1
Faith is seeing your expectations becoming manifestations and taking possessions
Our faith upon the promises of God are the keys that open the doors of those promises to become blessings.
Just a shout of faith wrought victory to the children of Israel. Our faith or obedience to what God has said can also bring answers to our prayers and put testimonies to our lives.
God had declared that He had given them the city, and faith reckoned this to be true. Long centuries afterwards, the Holy Ghost recorded this triumph of faith in the book of Hebrews
“By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.." - Heb11:30
God is more than able to do that for us as we trust and obey Him. Praise the Lord!
PRAYER.
