IT IS ALREADY DONE

“Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with the voice of triumph!” Psalms 47:1 (NKJV)
If you read the above text very fast, you will miss the spiritual import. Many times because of the simplicity of the word, we read the scripture in our way. Many times, we read: Oh, clap your hands when you are happy and shout unto God when you receive the manifestation. But look at it again, the scripture did not say clap your hands when you see the manifestation, neither did it say shout unto God when you have seen the house you desire.
You are not encouraged to shout when the baby has come or when the wedding bell is ringing. The scripture simply says, “clap your hands oh ye people, shout unto God with the voice of triumph”. Why? Because as far as heaven’s economy is concerned, it is already done. So it does not matter what the enemy is stirring up around you, that means nothing. It is already done. We clap and rejoice because we know it is already done.
God gave a similar instruction in the book of Isaiah 54:1-2: “Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD. Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;” (Isaiah 54:1-2 KJV).
Rejoice because it’s already settled. You are going to break forth. You are going to experience expansion and enlargement. And there is nothing the devil can do to stop it. The mouth of the Lord has spoken it. The mighty hand of Jehovah is moving you to the next dimension of glory. You will not miss out on what God has already perfected concerning you. You will not miss your portion. “Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion: For the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.”(Psalm 102:13 KJV).
This is your Kairos time! When it is the season, you cannot stop it and you cannot do anything about it.
