"Our God Is Greater" @ SJSM Covenant Service (31st Dec 2011).m4v

We are reminded that while we live in this temporal world, we experience much struggle, hardship and strife as the bible tells us in Matthew 24:8, are the beginning of birth pangs as we, its inhabitants eagerly await our 'adoption to sonship, the redemption of our
bodies' (Romans 8:22).

Dancing to depict this mortal struggle of ours, we know that the battle is not against flesh alone but against the powers and principalities of this world. Thus we intercede and embody this through movement as a visual representation of the battle both in the physical and the spiritual. In battle, we are to put on our spiritual armour daily (Ephesians 6:10- 20) in order to stand firm in God till the end of our tenancy here on earth.

The dance reaches a climax when the lyrics declare the powerful words of Romans 8:31 'if God is for us, who can be against us' showing us that the battle and the victory belongs to God and He is indeed greater than anything the world can throw at us.

It is not always necessary that we see or experience the victory in a situation or in this lifetime but it is God's promise to us that gives us the hope we live for and can boldly proclaim over all things.

Finally, the dance ends with the dancers on the ground to depict a picture of rest. Resting, from battle, resting in the Lord. The battle continues but God is in charge and we can rest even when the battle is raging on because God continues to fight for us. So, we enter His rest. Selah.
