1 Samuel 7:13 “So the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.”
The Philistines were continual “thorns in the flesh” to Israel. However, when the Prophet Samuel raised up his “Ebenezer” – the stone of testimony, God the protected the borders of Israel. As we raise our voices in testimony of Jesus Christ being King of Kings and Lord of Lords should we not expect the Almighty to build a hedge of protection around us.
Let us lift up our intercession to God, that the Holy Spirit empower and compel us to testify of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ before men so that many of our fellow citizens receive Him as Lord. As a result, we will see God protect our borders as He did with Israel.
