MARCHING OVER IN MARCH

MARCHING OVER IN MARCH

As we are going through the month of March, we need to know that when you say march, a common person thinks of moving forward. Looking at this simple meaning, we want to say that God will move us forward this month in Jesus’ name.

To march over, means to overcome and conquer all the attacks and the limitations the enemy has put against you. It is also to move into the inheritance that God had prepared for you. Will you believe with me that God will make you to march over all powers, failures, defeats, and sickness in this month? If the answer is yes then, let us go on.

Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Before this promise was given, there were cases in the Bible where the people of God literally trampled upon their enemies.

Jos 10:24  And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. 25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed, be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight.

Joshua demonstrated the authority that Jesus gave later and today, you can practice it whereby you can march and tread on every power the enemy is using against your life.

CASES TO CONSIDER

1. Joshua and Jericho – Jos 6:1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 2 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour. 3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

God had given Jericho and all the mighty men including the king to Joshua, but the gate had been shot that there is no way anybody could enter. May be God had given you some promises and you are wondering how to claim it, march over the hindrances like the wall of Jericho and march into your possession.

• David and Goliath – 1Sa 17:50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 51 Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.

David stood on Goliath to remove his sword to cut his head; you will stand on your Goliath in Jesus’ name. Goliath had kept the Israelites under fear for twenty days but David had no reason to fear because he knew his God. If you will believe you God and become bold, you will march against Goliath and march on him also in Jesus’ name.

• Naaman 2 Kings 5:10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

Naaman was a mighty man of war but he had a great reproach in his life. May be you are highly talented and good looking but there is a shameful thing in your life like Naaman. The God that cured Naaman is still alive today. The instruction to Naaman was to march into the river seven times which he later humble himself to do and he walked out from leprosy. Whatever the reproach in your life may be, trust God that this month, you will walk out of it in Jesus’ name.

• The 3 Hebrew children Dan 3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. 27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort. 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

The king bragged that no one could deliver them from his hands, now; he called them servants of the Most High God. Whoever is shouting on you today, hold your calm, he will praise you tomorrow. Eventually, he called out these three Hebrew children and they used their legs to walk out of fire. Whatever fire you are going through now, I declare that you are coming out in Jesus’ name. They came out to fame and promotions. You will come out of the fire of Nebuchadnezzar and you are coming into fame, honour, promotion and prosperity in Jesus’ name.

• Lazarus – John 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave-clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Lazarus was sick and eventually died. While he was sick, Jesus was called for but by the time He came, Lazarus had been buried for four days. Are you sick and you had prayed and fasted and nothing is happening, think of Lazarus. Jesus was told that Lazarus was His friend, yet He could not come before he died. Always remember that delay does not mean denial. When Lazarus died and was buried for four days which means all hope was lost already, that was when Jesus came. Jesus is never late. Jesus called out Lazarus from the grave though bound. Whatever has kept you in the grave bound must lose you now because you are marching out. Lazarus heard the voice of Jesus, now Jesus is also calling you to come forth. Do not say that your legs are tied like that of Lazarus, he still came out. So, whether the enemies like it or not you are coming out from every grave you have been kept in Jesus’ name.

• Peter – Act 12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. 8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. 9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. 10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron- gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. 11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

Peter was imprisoned by the power of Herod. Are you feeling that you are imprisoned? You are coming out. The Angel of the Lord came and led Peter out. He marched out of prison. You are also marching out in Jesus’ name. Something very important about this miracle is that, Peter thought that he was dreaming. Your breakthrough will be like dream to you and to others in Jesus’ name.

Right now, believe God and declare that you are marching over all hindrances and marching into your blessings in this month of March in Jesus’ name.
