*PSK 099. Sunday, 20th July, 2025.*

🌹 Welcome to Sunday, the *_20th day of JULY 2025._* This is OUR MONTH OF PERFECTION!

Receive your *GOOD NEWS* through our encounter with the *_COVENANT OF PERFECTION!_* Papa in Heaven avails us, today, with another opportunity to get our victory through the assurance that *God is Good.* The touch of His Goodness in this *_2nd Half of the Year 2025_* will ultimately restore us, saving us from further losses, tribulations, stress and failures, in Jesus’ Name! βœ…

❀‍πŸ”₯ Let Us Worship God With Our *_MHB. 968 – Yes, God is Good!_* πŸ¦…πŸ‡

This *_METHODIST HYMN: MHB 968 – “Yes, God Is Good,”_* was written by *John Hampden Gurney* (1802-1862). The tune to which it is set is called WILLIAMS.

1: YES, God is good – in earth and sky,

From ocean depths and spreading wood,

Ten thousand voices seem to cry:

God made us all and God is good.

 

2: The sun that keeps his trackless way,

And downward pours his golden flood,

Night’s sparkling hosts, all seem to say:

In accent clear, that God is good.

 

3: The merry birds prolong the strain,

Their song with every spring renewed;

And balmy air, and falling rain,

Each softly whispers: God is good.

 

4: I hear it in the rushing breeze;

The hills that have for ages stood,

The echoing sky and roaring seas,

All swell the chorus: God is good.

 

5: Yes, God is good, all nature says,

By God’s own hand with speech endued;

And man, in louder notes of praise,

Should sing for joy that God is good.

 

6: For all Thy gifts we bless Thee, Lord,

But chiefly for our heavenly food;

Thy pardoning grace, Thy quickening word,

These prompt our song, that God is good.

 

 

πŸ”₯ πŸ¦… *_Theme:_ “GOD GIVES US VICTORY: GOD IS GOOD!”* ❀

❀ *_Text:_ JUDGES 7:18* NKJV. πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

*_“When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets on every side of the whole camp, and say, ‘The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!'”_*

πŸ”₯ πŸ¦… *_Brethren, we have just praised and worshipped the Authority in Heaven. Now we can exercise our authority to receive, spiritually, with these SEVEN PREVAILING PRAYERS as we prepare for our Unstoppable Blessings, Alleluia:_*

1. *Title: _Penitence_*

*_Anecdote:_* One day, overwhelmed by guilt over broken vows and strained relationships, I sincerely repented for my wrongdoings and asked God for forgiveness. As I prayed, I felt His cleansing touch and a serene experience of peace of mind. I was then able to make positive physical amends. Truly, His mercy restores, renews, and heals us. Through repentance, we find grace and a renewed covenant with Him.

*Link Verse: 1 John 1:9 (NKJV): _“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”_*

πŸ™β€ *Prayer: _Father, forgive every broken vow, failed relationship, and marital shortcoming amongst us. Cleanse our hearts for this sacred covenant of perfection, in Jesus’ Name!_*

2. *Title: _Divine Courage_*

*_Anecdote:_* A young missionary in huge debts and personal woes faced persecution in a hostile territory. Remembering Gideon’s courage, she pressed on despite overwhelming odds. God protected her ministry, and hundreds came to Christ. Divine courage transforms impossibilities into testimonies of God’s faithfulness and power.

*Link Verse: Joshua 1:9* (NKJV): *_“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”_*

πŸ™β€ *Prayer: _Lord, By FIRE, I receive the courage to defeat my giants with unwavering faith, knowing that You fight my battles in Jesus’ Name!_*

3. *Title: _Supernatural Victory_*

*_Anecdote:_* A Christian businessman faced bankruptcy during a financial crisis. He listened to the man of God’s guidance, sowed seeds and prayed fervently, trusting God’s promises. Within a couple of months, unexpected contracts arrived. He cleared his debts, and his company flourished. God’s supernatural victory defies human understanding and transforms desperate situations into divine testimonies.

*Link Verse: 1 Corinthians 15:57* (NKJV): *_“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”_*

πŸ™β€ *Prayer: _Heavenly Father, just as You gave Gideon victory over the Midianites, grant us triumph over every spiritual and physical enemy, in Jesus’ Name!_*

4. *Title: _Holy Obedience_*

*_Anecdote:_* A pastor felt called to start a feeding programme with limited resources. Despite doubts, he obeyed. Donations poured in from unexpected sources, feeding thousands monthly. Holy obedience unlocks God’s provision and transforms communities through faithful surrender to divine will.

*Link Verse: 1 Samuel 15:22* (NKJV): *_“Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.”_*

πŸ™β€ *Prayer: _Father, give us hearts that obey Your commands without question, trusting Your wisdom above our understanding, in Jesus’ Name!_*

5. *Title: _Divine Strategy_*

*_Anecdote:_* A church faced closure due to dwindling membership. Instead of conventional methods, they prayed and received divine strategy: Empowering the Community through *_free community services._* The church members took care of the environmental health of their host community through a string of medical outreaches, building a vast and neat drainage gutter around their church compound as they cleaned up the area. The Church installed free pipe-borne water units by its outer fence walls for residents who need free, clean water. In seven months, the church auditorium overflowed as people experienced God’s love practically. Divine strategy transcends human wisdom and creates a breakthrough where tradition fails.

*Link Verse: Isaiah 55:8-9* (NKJV): *_“‘For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,’ says the LORD. ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.'”_*

πŸ™β€ *Prayer: _Lord, reveal Your perfect strategies for my challenges that, with your Church, I may walk in Your wisdom rather than human logic, in Jesus’ Name!_*

6. *Title: _Unwavering Trust_*

*_Anecdote:_* A couple struggled with infertility for twelve years. Medical reports declared them hopeless. However, they continued trusting God’s promises and miraculously conceived twins, later. Unwavering trust in God’s timing and power transforms medical impossibilities into testimonies of His faithfulness.

*Link Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6* (NKJV): *_“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”_*

πŸ™β€ *Prayer: _Father, strengthen our faith to trust You completely, even when circumstances seem impossible and hope appears lost, in Jesus’ Name!_*

7. *Title: _Eternal Gratitude_*

*_Anecdote:_* After losing everything in a fire, a family chose gratitude over bitterness. Their testimony inspired massive community support, rebuilding their lives beyond former glory. Eternal gratitude transforms devastating losses into platforms for God’s miraculous restoration and community blessing.

*Link Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:18* (NKJV): *_“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.”_*

πŸ™β€ *Prayer: _Lord, fill our hearts with perpetual thanksgiving, recognising that every victory comes from Your mighty hand, in Jesus’ Name!_*

 

πŸ”₯ πŸ¦… *EXHORTATION.* ❀

❀ *_Text:_ JUDGES 7:18* NKJV. πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

*_“When I blow the trumpet, I and all who are with me, then you also blow the trumpets on every side of the whole camp, and say, ‘The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!'”_*

πŸ”₯ πŸ¦… *_Theme:_ “GOD GIVES US VICTORY: GOD IS GOOD!”* ❀

*_Beloved in Christ,_*

Today, we stand at the crossroads of faith and victory, examining how God’s goodness manifests through triumph over seemingly impossible circumstances. Our text reveals profound truths about divine strategy, supernatural triumph, and the unchanging goodness of our Almighty God.

❀ I. *THE CONTEXT OF GIDEON’S VICTORY*πŸ”₯ πŸ¦… (Judges 7:1-8)

The Israelites faced overwhelming odds – 135,000 Midianites against Gideon’s initial 32,000 warriors. Yet God declared this army *_“too many,”_* and He reduced them to merely 300 men. Why? *_To ensure glory belonged entirely to God, not human strength._*

*_Divine Principle:_* God often reduces our resources to magnify His power and demonstrate His goodness through supernatural intervention.

❀ II. *THE STRATEGY OF THE ALMIGHTY*πŸ”₯ πŸ¦… (Judges 7:16-18).

God’s battle plan defied military logic:

– *_Trumpets instead of swords for combats_*

– *_March attuned to trumpet sounds instead of the excellency of battle prowess_*

– *_Torches instead of armour and multiple pawns_*

– *_Shouts instead of drones and technological strategy_*

*_“The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!”_* – This cry acknowledged divine supremacy while recognising human partnership in God’s work.

*_Spiritual Application:_* Our victories require divine weapons – prayer, faith, faith-action, worship, and God’s Word – not merely human effort or conventional wisdom.

❀ III. *THE MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S GOODNESS*πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

A. *_Good in His Timing_*

God didn’t deliver Israel immediately but waited until they cried out in desperation. His timing ensures maximum glory and genuine transformation.

B. *_Good in His Methods_*

Using unconventional means teaches us to depend entirely on God, building unshakeable faith for future battles that are not fought with weapons, charms, talisman or amulets… but by our obedience and His grace.

C. *_Good in His Results_*

The victory was complete – enemies fled, Israel was delivered, and God’s Name was glorified throughout the land. Man teaches himself to work by his or her strength to prosper by one’s physical ingenuity while Faith teaches us to be vigilant, focused, work in divine obedience, excel to be supernaturally blessed above brawns and brains to give God the glory!

❀ IV. *PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR MODERN BELIEVERS* πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

1. *_Embrace Divine Reduction_*

For a moment, a believer may toil and pray so hard with less to show for it. God reduces your resources by making you to give sacrificially to his cause, He’s preparing you for supernatural multiplication. *Trust His process!*

2. *_Use Spiritual Weapons_*

Face life’s battles with prayer, worship, and God’s Word rather than mere human strategies.

3. *_Acknowledge Divine Partnership_*

Like Gideon, recognise that victory comes “from the LORD and through you” – divine power working through human obedience.

4. *_Celebrate God’s Goodness_*

Every victory, no matter how small, deserves grateful acknowledgment of God’s goodness and faithfulness. Do not envy those who made it through other means. Focus on God positively: He does not need the instrumentality of humans to bless you: God has His supernatural ways, and he might use someone you never knew!

❀ V. *CONCLUSION: THE ETERNAL TRUTH*πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

*_God is good – all the time!_* His goodness doesn’t depend on circumstances but remains constant through trials and triumphs alike. Just as He gave Gideon victory against impossible odds, He stands ready to grant you a breakthrough in every area of struggle. Believe it and stop looking down on yourself or any other!

*_The cry, “The sword of the LORD and of Gideon!” echoes through eternity as God’s invitation for us to partner with His divine power._* When we align our faith with His purposes, impossibilities become testimonies, and testimonies become platforms for His glory.

*Remember:*

– Your current battle is not your final destination: Not your last Bus-Stop!

– God’s goodness precedes His victory in your life!

– Divine strategy always surpasses human wisdom or logical discovery!

– Every setback is a setup for a greater comeback. Only fools give up on God!

*Today, declare with unwavering faith:*

*_“The sword of the LORD and of [YOUR NAME]!”_* Let this be your battle cry, your victory anthem, your testimony of God’s unchanging goodness.

πŸ™β€ VI. *THE ALTAR CALL* πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

*Boldly come forward if you need:*

– *_Healing_* from life’s disappointments and scars;

– *_Divine courage_* to face your giants;

– *_Supernatural breakthrough_* in impossible situations;

– *_Restoration_* of broken relationships and vows;

– *_Renewed faith_* in God’s goodness despite circumstances.

Beloved, as we conclude these prayers, remember that victory in Christ is perpetual. No matter the battle, God’s goodness and power will bring us through, victoriously. Remember that satan knows the worst realities in your world: If you listen to him, he will convince you to believe evil things about God. Resist him! Stand firm, keep believing in God, keep your positive expectations alive with zero-tolerance for satanic reality talks while you continue to declare: *_“The sword of the LORD and of [YOUR NAME]!”_*

*May this service bring:*

– *_Glory_* to God’s Name,

– *_Victory_* to every listener, reader, and worshipper of God,

– *_Revival_* to our congregation,

– *_Restoration of Peace_* to the confused and hurting souls,

– *_Sanctification_* to the hearts polluted by human logic and hideous satanic infiltrations,

– *_Deliverance_* to souls that have slipped through reprobate minds against God through satan-induced liberation struggles that rebels against God,

– *_Testimonies_* that echo through eternity, in Jesus’ Name!

*Take Home Your Prophetic Word:*

*The Eternal Choice:*

Beloved colleagues and brethren, we stand at history’s crossroads where ancient wisdom meets contemporary crisis. The covenant choice confronts our generation with unprecedented urgency:

Will we choose paths that honour divine image in humanity, creation, and community by giving our lives to Christ Jesus?

Or, shall we persist in rebellious patterns that lead to destruction, division, and despair? God forbid! *_Our belief in God will never hinder scholarship or joy!_*

The consequences of our choice will echo through generations. Yet hope remainsβ€”the same God who warned Joshua of potential exile also promised restoration. The same Christ who pronounced judgment on unrepentant cities also wept over Jerusalem’s coming destruction. *_But we must believe in Hope to partake in God’s Plan. Jesus is Humankind’s only hope! Receive Him and Live!_*

Let us conclude with worship, for covenant reality ultimately leads to praise:

*To the God who establishes covenants in love,*

*Who honours faithfulness with blessing,*

*Who disciplines rebellion with mercy,*

*Who provides redemption through judgment,*

*And who calls us into eternal relationshipβ€”*

*_The Father of Jesus’ Christ, Our LORD…_*

*Be glory, honour, and praise forever and ever!*

The choice remains. The covenant stands. The consequences await, resonating through Christ Jesus’ substitutionary sacrifice for humankind’s redemption.

*Choose life, that you and your descendants might live!*

That is our *GOOD NEWS!* πŸ˜‡

*Enter to worship: Depart to serve!*

βœ¨πŸ™πŸ’– *CLOSING PRAYER* πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

*_“Heavenly Father, we thank You for the victory that belongs to us through Christ Jesus. Like Gideon’s 300, we may seem small, but with You, we are mighty. Transform our trumpets of worship into weapons of warfare, our testimonies into torches of hope. Let every enemy camp flee at the sound of our praise. We declare Your goodness over our families, finances, health, and destiny. In Jesus’ mighty Name, AMEN!”_*

*_May the Lord strengthen your faith, fill you with His divine courage, and crown you with eternal victory. Go forth with confidence, for victory is yours in Jesus’ Name!_ AMEN!* βœ¨πŸ™πŸ’–

πŸ™β€ *BENEDICTION* πŸ”₯ πŸ¦…

Go forth as more than conquerors, declaring “The sword of the LORD and of [your name]!” until every enemy flees and every promise is fulfilled. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. AMEN!*
