Topic: 21 LESSONS FROM PSALMS 68:1
Text: Psalms 68:1-2, Numbers 10:35
Minister: Dr. Daniel Olukoya (G.O. MFM Worldwide)

This is a passage from which we will pick out our lessons before we pray on our water. It represents one of the most powerful prayer points in scriptures that scares the enemy. You ask, “Can the enemy be scared?” Yes.

The Bible says, “Thou believest that there is one God. The demons also believe and tremble.” This is a prayer that has helped millions. We will examine the depth and why you should make it a prayer point.

Psalms 68:1 (KJV) says, ‘Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.’

Verse 2 describes the manner of that fleeing.

Psalms 68:2 (KJV) “As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.”

Straightaway sometimes strikes you in the face: “Let them that hate him…”. It strikes you that God Himself has enemies. So if God has enemies and he has those that hate Him, do not dream that you do not have enemies or that everybody will like you. No. Everyone will not like you or be your friend. There will be those who will hate you for no reason. But let God arise and let His enemies be scattered”.

You may go around saying, “I do not have enemies; I am nice to everyone.” No, you got it wrong. Any man without an enemy is a fool, a useless man who has been given a red card to depart from the field of play. As far as your destiny has been announced in heaven and it is shiny, hellfire witchcraft, domestic witchcraft, and foundational and environmental witchcraft will rise up against you.

• This is why I am prophesying prophetically upon you that the God of Elijah shall arise and your stubborn enemies shall scatter, in the name of Jesus.

Eli was a priest in the house of God. He had two sons, Hophni and Phinehas. I never stopped wondering why he named them those names. Phinehas means “boxer”. Hophni means “serpent’s mouth”. What kind of names are these? From a priest of God. Names can be very bad if they do not glorify God Almighty. The evil effects of names are so bad that you must renounce every evil name, even up to ungodly nicknames if given. Imagine someone being called ‘black scorpion’ or ‘bulldozer’. The sons of Eli had offended Jehovah. They treated God’s offering with contempt, and they took meat from the pot, and they never allowed the Israelites to remove the fat first.

Not only were they doing that, but they were sleeping with women at the temple door. Now, a battle arose between the Philistines and Israelites. These two children took the ark of God with them to the battlefront. Never before had the Israelite soldiers experienced such a terrible defeat. They had the bright idea and believed that when the ark got there, the enemy would be scared and run. And truly it happened that way at first. Then the Philistines fought back. That ark was captured from the Israelites after their useless revival of shouting.

The Philistines took the ark to the house of their god Dagon, a half-fish and half-man. By the time they came back the next morning, Dagon had fallen before the ark of God. They replaced Dagon in its place. The next morning they came back; it was broken to pieces. Some people of Beth-shemesh looked into the ark of God, and God smote them in large numbers. After 20 years, they fearfully sent the ark back. David decided to move the ark into Jerusalem. He did it anyway. So as an expression of that excitement, David composed this Psalm 68: “Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered.”

God was returning to Jerusalem. Beloved, the survival cry of today, a cry that should bring divine intervention, is a loud volcanic “Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered.” God must arise. Too many people have adjusted to the absence of God. We need the fresh presence of God. We need the presence of God in our lives in a fresh new way.

That is why that songwriter says:

Let God arise, and my enemies be scattered,
Let God arise, and my enemies be scattered,
Let God arise, and my enemies be scattered,
Let God, let God arise.

In this scripture, the initial cry for God to arise did not come from David but from Moses.

Numbers 10:35 (KJV) says: “And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.”

So Moses was the originator who first started the saying. In the wilderness, anytime the Israelites moved, the cloud would come up. Once the cloud came up, it led them to another side, and Moses cried, “Rise up, Lord, and let thy enemies be scattered; let them that also hate thee flee from before thy face.”

It was spoken by Moses originally during the wilderness journeys. Immediately after Moses said it, the Levites sprang into action, packed up the tabernacle and began to follow the cloud. The God who arises inside that cloud.

So the cry is the cry of:

• Change,
• forward progress,
• moving from one camp to another,
• going from one level to another,
• moving into new territory,
• moving to your next level in the divine agenda,
• fresh move of God,
• not ready to be stagnant,
• move, I am not ready to hold God down.
• a cry that puts a stop to any power that is holding you down,
• God to lead the victory procession,
• To lead his people into victory and prosperity,
• leaving the rebellious to strive in the desert,
• the possibilities of God,
• dive into the envelope of God’s fire,
• Rise above the minimum,
  -to rise above scars of the enemy,
• to God, who has promised to be our way of life,
• a battle cry to move forward and possess possession,
• We need this spirit.
• A cry that without Him we can do nothing.

The authority behind this Psalm is rooted in the unmasked supremacy of God. This is a scripture that makes us understand we can scatter the enemies.

• I am praying that our enemies shall be scattered, in the name of Jesus.

The cry of “Let God arise” is:

• A divine statement that enforces the fleeing of your haters.
• A battle instruction that activates heaven’s movement.
• is a cry that establishes the fact that God himself leads the battle.
• a God-backed order that disrupts enemies’ operations instantly. There was no prophet like Moses, and so once he screamed it, everybody stopped all activities and ran after the cloud.
• A cry of divine interventions to terminate the confidence of the wicked.

No enemy can remain united when God steps into the battle. Anyone who hates God’s people automatically becomes the enemy of God.

WHAT ARE THE 21 LESSONS TO LEARN FROM PSALM 68:1?

1. When God arises for a person, no enemy can withstand the person. The enemy may be holding a party or start to rejoice until God arises.

• Shout this 7 times:
  – Where is the Lord God of Elijah? Arise, fight for me now.

2. You must learn to invite God intentionally into your battles.

3. Divine intervention is superior to human effort.

4. No enemy can survive the rising of God.

5. Delay ends when God arises.

6. Demonic confidence collapses when God steps in.

7. God’s rising is the end of every satanic gathering. There is an utterance I want you to make seven times now. Do not say, “It does not concern me.”

• O God, arise and scatter witchcraft covens assigned against my life.

8. The rising of God renders demonic threats powerless.

9. God rises in response to bold prayers.

10. Victory is certain when God takes over the battle.

11. God’s rising exposes hidden enemies.

12. When God arises, the enemies of His people flee in confusion.

13. When God arises, obstacles relocate themselves.

• I am praying for somebody here today:

As you pray the prayer of “Let God arise”, every obstacle that has faced you from January to November shall relocate, in the name of Jesus.

14. God’s rising shifts the atmosphere in your favour.
15. God’s rising brings divine speed to battles that look stagnant.
    18. God’s rising produces confusion in enemies’ ranks without human efforts.
    19. God’s rising changes the direction of every battle.
    20. Scattering is God’s method of breaking evil unity.
    21. When God arises, confusion hits the camp of the enemies.

• I am praying there will be somebody here who will be able to shout, “Let God arise, and let my stubborn enemies scatter,” in the name of Jesus.

When God arises:

• Your enemies release your confiscated blessings.
• The angels of the Lord will destroy your enemies the way an angel killed 185,000 Assyrians.
• You receive angelic assistance.

A brother went to preach in a village. Those villagers were proud of their wicked powers. Many times when other preachers went to that village, some fell down right from the pulpit. Still, this brother went there.

In spite of all that they did, he was still standing. When they saw that the small powers were not working on him, they went and brought the oldest native doctor, who was blind, to the crusade ground to chant incantations against him. That one did, but still the man of God stood. When he took the altar call, all the young men involved in masquerades ran there to him. This annoyed them more.

Having seen that nothing worked against him, they decided the next day to go to the pulpit, carry him away while he was preaching and slaughter him. The next day as the man was preaching, as he was bringing the service to a close, four giant-like, strong, wicked-looking men came and carried him out of the crusade ground. The enemies were rejoicing and thinking, “So this man has offended other people too and not just us; that is good for him.” These men took him to the road and left him there and thereafter disappeared.

Meanwhile, his enemies thought he had died. Instead, God sent His angels and physically carried him out of the place.

• You receive angelic assistance.
• Your enemies turn against each other.
• Your Goliath receives stones of fire.
• Your oppressors find you indestructible and become your friend.

Nebuchadnezzar said to Shedrach, Meshach, and Abednego, “At what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up.”

The men replied “O king, we are not careful to answer you in this matter. We prefer to burn than to bow.” He was angry; he commanded that the fire should be increased; he said the men should be thrown into the fire. When they were thrown in, he saw four men walking about in the fire.

• I pray that the fire of the enemy will not burn you, in the name of Jesus.

He was amazed and asked, “Did we not throw three men into the fire? How come we see four men walking loosely?” The king then said, “Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego, come out,” and they came out – men upon whose bodies the fire had no power.

When God arises:

• You will pursue and recover everything the enemy has stolen.
• The tongues of your enemies shall be confused, and your enemies shall bow before you. How many of you are here today who are ready to shout with a loud voice?
• Your enemies will be blinded by darkness.
• They will be buried alive, and you will be released from collective captivity.
