GHANA UNITED METHODIST CHURCH

Ezra 7:9 “For on the first of the first month he began to go up from Babylon; and on the first of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, because the good hand of his God was upon him.”
What makes the book of the prophet and priest Ezra so unique is that after God had justly sent the people of Israel into exile because of their sins (9:6–7), He restored them to Jerusalem their homeland. This return journey was not without challenges because they encountered both spiritual and physical enemies along the way. However, God provided deliverance to them, their wives, children, flocks and herds from certain enemies who designed to attack the caravan on the way.   In Ezra 8:2, we read that Ezra was not only inspired with supernatural courage and fortitude but also received favor from the Persian king who was his oppressor.. According to Jeremiah who prophesied around that time, testified about this “The Lord said, “..Surely I will cause the enemy to make supplication to you, in a time of disaster and a time of distress”” (Jeremiah 15:11b). I declare this month that God will surprise you with deliverance from enemies that hold back your progress and restore what has been taken away from you.
