Manufacturers
all over the world generally offer a time-bound warranty on their products.
During the given period, those who purchase the products can have them replaced
in case of any problem arising from defect, malfunction or any other thing that
falls within the terms of the warranty. The warranty given by the manufacturers
has some limitations, but God’s warranty is error-proof. When the Almighty God
is with you, no matter what happens, the result shall be well with you. In
Isaiah 42:5-6, the Bible says:”Thus says God the LORD, Who created the
heavens and stretched them out, Who spread forth the earth and that which comes
from it, Who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on
it: I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand; I
will keep You and give You as covenant to the people, as light to the Gentiles.”
The Almighty God says because we are His, He will hold our hands. If you are he
one holding on to Jesus, the storm may come and snatch your hand from Him.
However, because He is the one holding you, there is no storm that can take you
away from His hand. This is the greatest guarantee that we have for our
security. Because we have the guarantee of His presence, we have the guarantee
of divine victory. Romans 8:31 says:”What then shall we say to these things? If
God is for us, who can be against us?” In 1 Samuel 17:37, after Saul
had argued with David about going to fight Goliath, he told David to go and
fight Goliath and that God would be with him. Even King Saul, in his
backslidden state, knew that if God is with you, no Goliath can stand in your
way. In Numbers 14:6-9, we have the story of the 12 spies whom Moses sent to go
and spy the Promised Land. When they returned, ten of them said the land was
good but they could not take it because of the giants inhabiting the place. Two
people, Caleb and Joshua, said because God was with them, the giants would be
bread for them. As long as God is with you, anyone who rises against you will
become a stepping stone to glory. Whoever opposes you is just creating rooms
for you to give testimonies because God’s divine presence guarantees divine
victory.
MEMORIZE:
ROMANS 8:31 –What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can
be against us?
