```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: IT DOES NOT ALWAYS MAKES SENSE TO THE COMMON SENSE (DARE TO BELIEVE AND OBEY) Part 3*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*
1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.
2 Chronicles 20:21 And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
20:22 And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.
God loves to take things which men completely despise and use them to do the extraordinary.
Look at the instruction He gave to Joshua. Match round the city of Jericho. Jericho was a major obstacle to entering the promised land but look at God's strategy and wisdom to taking the city of Jericho. It was extremely foolish to the common sense. It has never been said once that a leaf drop from a flower when a man shouts but how come a shout brought down a tall and gigantic wall?
It was all due to God's wisdom and we saw God's wisdom delivered Jericho into the hands of the children of Israel.
In 2Chron 20:1-3, 20-24 Three nations came up against just one nation (Judah) and we saw the instrument which the people of God used to gain victory. They didn't just got the victory over those nations, they were able to get possessions that was too much for them to carry. Have you ever heard about a man going to war with musical instruments? This was something extremely strange too.
They didn't go to battles with swords and spears and started singing at the war front. What they did was extremely strange. They took musical instruments and proceeded to the battle field without thinking, "what if we die?" Because they had no single physical weapon in which they could use to fight if in case the enemies attacked them.
These men demonstrated a level of faith in God many in this generation can never dear. The kind of faith they displayed was "if God won't fight for us then we are ready to die".
*Insights For Today: Follow God's sense and not common sense. God's sense will always work but common sense doesn't always work.*
*_Prayer: Father, forgive me for despising your word in the past. Whatever you want me to do from henceforth is what I will do without fail in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*
★ *TODAY'S INSTRUCTION: Create time today, sit down and relax your mind and spirit; try to think if God has ever given you an instruction which you've ignored. Ask for mercy and do them*
★DAILY BIBLE READING PLAN: Isaiah 62; Hebrew 13 and Psalms 66
