The book of Isaiah 26:1 reads, “In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.”

To be spiritually blind, deaf and dumb, is dangerous!

It takes people whose spiritual eyes, ears, and minds are open (torn loose) supernaturally to see, understand, and comprehend the magnitude of peace, freedom, security, and protection that serve as DIVINE ATTENDANCE to render services to the dearly beloved of God in the Christian circle or territorial domain.

Within the circuit of Christianity, heavenly supplies are released from the mighty hands of the Lord God Almighty to His people sufficiently, now and always. To the extent that, right there in Zion (God’s presence), there are always enough reasons to pour out melodious songs of thanksgiving as a sacrificial lip offering of a magnificent, acceptable praise/worship to God, for His benevolence towards His children.

Exodus 15:20–21 reads, “And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.”

Psalm 18:1–2 reads, “I will love Thee, O LORD, my strength.

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.”

The wondrous works, or acts of the Lord that are felt on a daily basis in the church, are unfathomable. All assorted kinds of musical instruments made available there, are constantly triggered and turned on by heavenly instrumentalists to complement the eco of spiritual songs that thunder from joyful hearts, full of praises and worship to God, who is the brain behind the victorious achievements of the sanctified singers of the Lord God Almighty.

How would they have waited a bit longer without releasing songs of joy from their hearts unto the Lord, seeing that they only woke up from their sleep to discover that the Lord God Almighty had just wrought miracles of peace for them in the land of Judah, which is their very city of habitation?

Where their enemies were defeated by the strong and mighty arms of the Lord, their King: and they turned around to acknowledge that they had a fortified city.

They did not hesitate to profess that they were surrounded by the walls of the salvation of Jehovah God, who is their mighty warrior in battle. Paratradiomuto!

Exodus 15:3 reads, “The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is His name.”

Psalm 48:1–2 & 11–13 reads, “Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His Holiness.

Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.

Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.

Walk about Zion, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof.

Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces; that ye may tell it to the generation following.”

Praise be to the name of the Lord, whose uncountable blessings are witnessed in the church, which are translated into living songs of praise. Amen!
