Foreign. And Amen. Praise God forevermore. It's a great week. The Lord has made that. We just were glad in it. This is a transition week. We are transiting from September to October. Jesus alone be the glory and praise forever. The Lord has helped us for nine months and we celebrate him for that. Amen and Amen. And this week we are praying with a very beautiful verse of scripture. It just came to my heart this morning and pray with me. Psalm 68. 4. The King James Version says to the chief musician a psalm or song of David. Let God arise. Let his enemies be scattered. Let them also that hate him flee before him. Amen to Jesus. And when you see the word let God here, it's as though, you know, God has been seated and now we are asking him to arise and we have to ignite him to arise or tell him to arise as though he's seated, watching the enemies towards all the evil are. You know what I'm saying? And he just relaxed. I don't think like cry, beg, jump up, fall down, roll on the floor before now looks at and say, okay, I'm going to write. But you see, that's not actually the right picture. Amen to Jesus. If you look at the Word, the phrase let God, you discover that it's just one word in the Hebrew, and that's the word Elohim, which you know, Elohim is a plural of, you know, the Godhead. Amen to Jesus talks about rulers, judges, divine ones, angels, gods, you know, so the true God. Amen to Jesus. All right. And so basically it says the real sense, it doesn't say let God arise. I say God arise. Are we together? And that's why when we look at International Standard Version, it says God arises. I like that. God arises and his enemies are scattered. Those who hate him flee from his presence. Amen to Jesus. All right, so God arises. He arises on his own accord. Amen. Not because he's ignited or activated or whatever, you know. Yes, we praise him, we celebrate him, but it's not as it were, because we praise him as a He arises because he is God. On our matter, are we together say, let God arise. Let his enemies. You know, the word enemies here is the Hebrew word. And Oyev means enemy. And the enemy basically has to be either a personal enemy or a national enemy. I like this. Are we together? So we're talking about enemies here. I'm talking about both personal enemies and what national enemies. So God arises on behalf of nations. We saw that he did in east for the Israelites time and again. Are you getting me? And when enemies are coming against nations, God arises when enemies. When an enemy is coming against an individual God what arises and basically enemy here means an adversary, a fool. Amen to Jesus says that God arise and let his enemies be scattered. I like the word be scattered here. The scattered is the word puts. Hebrew word puts. It means to scatter, to disperse, to be scattered. Amen to Jesus. And it also means to shatter. I like that. And to dash into this. You know, one of the greatest way to explain scatter was when tower Babel happened and when God said confuse your languages. Scatter the language. And the people scattered, everybody dispersed. You see, when God makes the enemy scatter, what happens that he confuses their language. And what happens? Everybody dispasses. You attend to Israel and their division their own with what become abrupted and become a failed bishop. Glory to God forever more. Hallelujah to Jesus. So it's not new, it's an old strategy. The Lord says let them that hate him. Now like I've always said before, God himself does not have enemies. I get what I'm saying. It's only when you have a rival that you can call the person your enemy. I get what I'm saying. But when you don't have a rival, how can somebody be your enemy? God has no rival. Are you what I'm saying? He's gone all by himself in the class of himself. So somebody who's in the class of himself and has no and has nobody to compete with him or compare with the mark and he have an enemy. It's where you have a competitor that the computer can become your enemy. Are you saying it's where you have a rival that the river can become your enemy? There's nobody competing with you. There's nobody in a rivalry with you. How can anybody be your enemy? So God does not have enemies. That's why the second explanation here brings it clear to us. Let. Let them also that hate him. God does not have any meaning. But there are people who hate God. They made themselves enemies to God, but God does not take them as what enemy. But what happens that when you hate your source, what happens to you? You are destroyed automatically. It's self destruct. I get what I'm saying. So let those that hate him. Amen to Jesus. The world hates him. Let those that hate him is a phrase. Let those that hate is a phrase. And that's the Hebrew word. Sani. Saniyah means to hate, to be hateful. Amen. Not to be hateful of man or to be hateful of God. Amen to Jesus. And it also entails hatred for a person or hatred for a nation. Praise God forevermore. Also hatred for the wisdom world. Are we together? So you hate a nation, you hate a person, you hate God or you hate wisdom. You are somebody who hates. So the Bible makes us understand those who hate wisdom, they will not what? And they will not prosper. Praise the Lord forevermore. Let those who hate him flee before him. Word flee. Here is also another beautiful the word is the Hebrew word noose. It means to flee means to escape. When somebody is escaping, it means that the person's life is what is happy. Examples when somebody makes himself an enemy to God either by hating a person that loves God that God loves, or hating a nation that God loves or hating God personally or it is best known to him or hating wisdom. What happens? The person's life will always be and the person will always be pain. I get what I'm saying. So when we are saying God arises, what happens now? Those who have made themselves angry in number one, I like that word. Shatter, shattered, be crushed. And if they are not shattered and crossed, they will do what? They will flee this week everyone that has made themselves enemies to God because they made themselves enemy to us in the name of Jesus. The Lord arises on Abia and they are scattered and they flee. Those that are not crushed and dashed and totally destroyed, they will flee in the name of the Lord Jesus. David said and I will see my desire upon my enemies this week we see our desires upon our enemies and that is that they are scattered and they flee in the name of Jesus. As many of those who have said they are the enemies to God by being enemies to us. Many of those who have given, we are giving the wisdom of God and they have hated the wisdom of God this week they will be scattered and they will flee. So shall it be for us in the name of Jesus and the testimony shall be glad in Jesus precious name. Go for this week testifying and comfort Testifying. Go for rejoicing and comfort. Rejoice once again. I want to encourage you to subscribe to Grace Life podcast on Spotify. God bless you.
