“Greater Than My Oppression”

Key Verse

“For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.” Psalm 12:5

Text — Psalm 12:1-5

Message

Oppression is as old as man. Cain oppressed and killed his brother Abel. The Egyptian so oppressed the children of Israel that they lived in anguish daily. Oppression comes in different forms such as lies, bullying, fighting, abuses, cheating and others.


People oppress with their words and actions. Oppression brings fear and torment as the one oppressed is just at the mercy of the oppressor. Goliath oppressed David with his words because he was a giant and felt David was too small for him. But God was with David. 2 Corinthians 10:4 says, “(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”


When you look at how big the oppressor is, you may think it is impossible to conquer him, but the God Who gave David the victory is still alive today. He will surely give you victory over every oppression. Seek the Lord earnestly in prayers and present those bullies/oppressors before Him, He will silence them all in Jesus’ Name.
