READ: PSLAM
22:9-20
I have
words of encouragement for you today. The God whom we serve is able to turn the
wilderness into rivers of water. He is able to turn hopeless situations around.
He is your God. Nothing is impossible with Him. Do not allow problems to
intimidate you. Even if you are under a siege, He will come to your rescue. In
a siege, help rarely comes from outside. This is because everybody is shut in.
Even f the king has allies; there is no way that messengers can carry a request
for help to the allies because the enemies are outside. Also, whenever there is
siege, it is difficult to get help from superiors because they too are under
siege. The city is fully surrounded leaving only one way left for help to come
from. This is from above. This is why David said in Psalm 121:1-2, “I
will lift up my eyes to the hills -from whence comes my help? My help comes
from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Do you remember the story of
the man who was paralysed from the neck downwards, in Mark 2:1-12? His friends
carried him to where Jesus Christ was and when they got there they discovered that
a crowd had blocked the way to Him. The people were determined not to let the
man get to Jesus but his friends were determined that he would get to Jesus.
They look up, discovered that the way to the roof was free, and climbed the
roof. When you are in a siege, the only one way to look is up. When you look
up, you will see Jesus. Jesus says in John 14:6 that He is the Way. When
enemies say there is no way for you anymore, Jesus will say He is the Way. When
it appears that there is no way forward and the
enemy is behind and the Red Sea
is in front, the Almighty God will say to you, as He said to Moses: to move
forward. If you have Jesus Christ you will always win. In John 10:10, Jesus
says He has come to give you life and to have it more abundantly. The only way
out of siege is Jesus Christ. If all is well between you and God, according to
Jeremiah 1:18-19, and your enemies fight against you, they will not overcome
you. God will always come to your rescue even when it seems your condition is
totally hopeless.
MEMORIZE:
HEBREWS 12:2 –Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for
the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has
sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
