“And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?”
Exodus 17:1-2 KJV
In Rephidim the Israelites faced a great battle against Amalek and won a great victory where God revealed His redemptive Name - YHWH Nissi - The Lord is our Victory Banner. Today the Cross is our victory banner against our ferocious enemy. We, who are in Christ, give no place to the devil, our enemy because he knows his authority is broken over us and he cannot touch a single hair of our head, unless we give him place. Complaining and grumbling is the way to give place to the devil. Focussing on the devil’s works rather than the Cross, also gives place to the devil. Let’s not confess lack in our lives, emotionally or physically. Doubting God’s Word and His promises is another way of giving place to the devil. When we are weary and weak, let’s learn to thank, praise and worship God, confessing His promises which are ‘yes’ and ‘Amen’ in Christ. Let’s shut the door on the devil and give him no place, lift up the YHWH Nissi cry and be victorious! Amen!
