What is Divine Intervention?

  The word Divine means of, from, or like God or a god; devoted to God; and sacred.  Intervene, means to interfere; come between so as to prevent or modify the result a course of events.  Intervention, is the act or instance of intervening or mediation.  May I therefore suggest that Divine Intervention means mediation from God with a view to modifying the result of a course of events.  God is about to modify the result of a course of events in your life, to ensure that His presence by your side will dislodge the obstacles, which have obstructed your progress.  This month, your struggles will come to an end and you will experience exceptional results in every area of your life.

  God intervenes:

• when His children are in danger (Psalm 20:6, 25:15, I Kings 17:14)
• to effect change
• to promote and elevate (Daniel 3:30)
• to allow His glory to be seen (II Kings 4:2-7)
• to show that He is God (I Kings 18:1, 18:39, 18:44)
• prove that nothing confuses Him or rises above Him

here are four things, which you may do to activate God’s divine intervention in your life.  II Chronicles 20:17 says, ‘you won’t have to lift a hand in this battle; just stand firm, Judah and Jeruslaem, and watch God’s saving work for you take shape.  Don’t be afraid, don’t waver.  March out boldly tomorrow…God is with you…’

  1. Stop fighting your own battles.  Trust in God and know that nothing is impossible for Him.  When we stop relying on ourselves and look up to God, we automatically invite divinity into humanity and ask God to do what only He is capable of doing.

  2.    Be obedient.  Obey God’s commands willingly.  In I Kings 17, when the widow of Zarepath met the prophet Elijah , she was about to cook her last meal and die.  Elijah instructed her to first cook a meal for him and then cook for herself and her son.  Although there was not enough for all three of them, she obeyed and verse 16 says that ‘…the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail….’  May I suggest that God is seeking obedient hearts to enable Him to intervene.  This month if we do as He instructs, we will experience His divine intervention.

  3.  Stand still.  Do not fret.  Last month, we examined the armour of God, in Ephesians 6:13.  It says, ‘…wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.’  If we intend to win the war against Satan, we cannot operate according to our circumstances and emotions.  We have to ignore the predicament and have faith that God is able to fight all our battles.  Faith invites God into our lives and when He appears every situation that is contrary to His word has to change.  Every tomorrow has two handles and we choose, which to use.  We can either use anxiety or faith.  Only look to God for help.  The bible says, stand still and see the salvation of God.  This month, every issue in our lives will bow to divine intervention. Simply stand with God and become outstanding.

  4. Praise Him.  To usher in the presence of God during troubled times, simply praise Him and He will be there.  Where praise exists, God’s presence is tangible and when He is present, the devil has to relinquish his hold.  When God is pleased with our praise, He withholds nothing from us.
