O God Do not be deaf!

By Br Edward Tomola


O God Do not be deaf! 

It sounds not only ridiculous but rude to ask God not to be deaf.  It may sound blasphemous or heretic to tell the Almighty God, Jehovah, the God with no beginning or end not to be deaf.  It is not me who first joined this cry or statement.

Psalm 83, like all the Psalms is loaded with a plan by God to come to the aid of his people.  Psalm Chapter 83 vs 1-3 reads “O God, do not be silent! Do not be deaf. Do not be quiet O God.

Don’t you hear the uproar of your enemies?.  Don’t you see that your arrogant enemies are rising up?.  

Today my brothers and sisters you may be in your hour of need and wondering like the Psalmist why God is silent, why he is deaf and why he is quiet!

The enemies are conspiring against your health, against your finances, against your family, against your family – to wipe you out.  It gets worse, the enemies are signing treaties against you making unanimous decisions against you seeking to destroy even your “very meaning”. 

Your legacy is going up in smoke and it is not one enemy.  They are many old and new ones.  What God had given you in the past the enemy is seizing the same.

I tell you to day that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Holy one of Israel, the God of hosts will beginning now, scatter your enemies “like chaff before the wind”.

When God rises to the defence of his prayerful children who call upon his name, the enemies shall be scattered like tumble-will , as a fire burns a forest and as a flame sets the mountains ablaze.

Your enemies, if you may, shall soon have nowhere to run. When Jesus Christ confronted the devils and demons in Mathew Chapter 8 vs 28-32 they begged for mercy and begged to go into the pigs which could not have the demons either and went straight over the cliff into the water and died.

Today the devils shall have no abode in your house, family, workplace, business and body.  Its game over for them. The arrogance must stop. The day of reckoning has come.  So God has and is inclining his ear to you and he will utterly disgrace the enemies.  Let them be ashamed and terrified forever and they will die in disgrace.

The reason why God will not be deaf today is so that He alone can be glorified.  It is that the enemies of his children must submit to His name.

The Psalmist concludes by saying the enemies must know that He alone is God and is the most High and is supreme over all the earth.

Whatever situation you are in today go to Psalms 83 and pray in faith that God inclines his ear to you and shatter your enemies' dreams and exalts his Holy name and establishes his power in Jesus name as the most High and Supreme over all the earth.

Amen and Amen.
