The victory song

Written by Mantebeah Elizabeth Matilda Abena.

“…You are my hiding place, you protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory” (NLT) Psalm 32:7

Bible readings: Psalm 18, Psalm 118:15, Psalm 98:1

We all want to have a victory song at the end of the day, month, or year for so many reasons. Whilst some of us want to show forth how well we have done over the period, others would like to use that as a measure of the Lord’s goodness.

No matter the reason, it is indeed the best healing balm for any awkward experience the soul might have been subjected to overtime. Many of us, unfortunately, don’t want to go through what it takes to get this healing balm (Victory song) for the soul. We really wished every experience will be rosy and perfect filled with beautiful songs. On the contrary, every experience can’t always be rosy and perfect but it can all be filled with beautiful songs.

I know you are wondering how a person who has lost every hope and is disappointed in life will get a victory song. And how will it sound like? More especially for someone whose life turned out differently after all the effort and time invested in achieving success. After all the trusting in God principles implemented, he or she still doesn’t see headway in life. How do you expect such a person to lift his or her head and see a coming victory song or better still find the strength to sing it? Surely this is a difficult moment for every believer. But it is also the best opportunity for any believer with a Christ centered mind and attitude (Philippians 2: 5 -11, Luke 22:42, Matthew 26:39, Mark 14:36) will take for a breakthrough.

For when the trusting is too difficult, so will the victory song be sweeter to the tongue and pleasing to the ears. When the waiting gets longer, so will the roots of our faith be deepened and our faith itself refined more and more to the purest form of gold; and our victory songs clearer as crystals and melodious to the heart of men. When the challenges get tougher so will our trust in God be stronger and our total dependence on him assured. And together our songs shall be nearer my Lord to thee, blessed assurance Jesus is mine, all to Jesus I surrender.

Beloved brethren, the times are perilous and we as Christians must not let go. We ought to hold on for our songs of victory. And whether we get to sing it here on earth or far beyond the yonder, it beholds on all of us to ensure the victory song of the Lord is heard. Some never get to sing theirs but in death we remember their victory songs: be it victory over sin, fear, anguish, low self-esteem, poverty, sickness, failure etc. we hear it all and we help them sing of it every day.

Today the Lord is calling on us all who in one way or the other have the intention of giving up or better still have given in to doubt. Gird your loins and stand firm in the faith. Get rid of all malice and any sin that so easily entangles you and put your trust in the Lord. Let the root of your faith be deepened in his love and when the storms of life are over, you will surely be singing your victory song. You can boldly say, yes the experience was so harsh, and not perfect but it’s indeed filled with beautiful songs of praise to God for his faithfulness.
